These are nutritionally viable pieces of meat that would otherwise be wasted. It's only the irrational 'ick' factor that's keeping people from eating them. Chicken nuggets are just a modern extension of the sausage, providing for efficient and economical butchery.

Jamie Oliver is teaching irrationality and inefficiency, all the while being applauded as the saviour of British schoolchildren.

You are welcome, it is one of my favourites!
I figured sooner or later it had to pop up on one of the less popular sites.
I hope it survives!

Saw Jamie Oliver preparing Essex Fried rabbit the other day... looked delicious. You coat the bunny pieces with flour, an egg wash, and seasoned panko bread crumbs generously laced with herbs and parmigianno-regiano cheese before dropping them in the deep fryer. I was drooling through the whole episode. Anyone want the recipe, drop me a line.

not as horrendous as

Loved the Jamie Oliver bit.

<3 jamie oliver for years now!

Much respect to Jamie Oliver. He's got his head screwed on.
I stopped disliking him when I watched Jamie's School Dinners brilliant series.

Very awesome! It's interesting that no mention is made of transglutaminase, the enzyme that allows that goop that he had to be formed into nuggets.

Molecular Gastronomy chefs like wylie dufrense of wd-50, jose andreas of minibar, and alex and aki of Ideas in Food have used this enzyme in the production of haute cuisine. Wylie is famous for using it to create shrimp noodles. Essentially, he blends the heck out of shrimp and then adds a very specific amount of transglutaminase, which he calls meat glue. Then he extrudes the mixture into water that is kept within a fraction of a degree to the proper temperature for cooking shrimp. The result is long thin noodles that are made entirely of seasoned shrimp.

Meanwhile in colorado, aki and alex got a hold of some meat glue and had some success gluing chicken skin onto tuna. They report that it is super awesome- I just guess we have to take their words for it.

Chicken Nuggets are totally fake food. Good on the kid for figuring it out.

My respect to Jamie Oliver.
