Sorry, what? Err, yes, of course it is… i mean, its not quite chicken nuggets in the fast food sense, its cut pieces of chicken breast fried in batter and tossed in sauce as opposed to mashed up and reformed chicken anythings battered and tossed in sauce so its a little higer quality.
Forgive me, but it’s like saying a snickers is just a mars bar but with nuts in.
If you work in a decent restaurant, the sweet and sour chicken is the light meat. We used dark meat for General Tso’s, Orange Chicken, and Sesame Chicken. It tastes better.
I think light chicken meat tastes better than dark, hands down, always. I always thought dark meat was used because it’s cheaper, or because they have to use it in something to get rid of it. I never knew it was because it was a traditional recipe thing - TIL, thanks!
Edit pound for pound, dark meat is less expensive than light, so cost may still be a factor, but it means I can still hope to find a place that makes a more luxurious General Tso’s, etc, with white. Still, lucky for you that you prefer the cheaper stuff! It’s like, I still prefer Taco Bell to fancy restaurants that make tacos with surloin slices or some crap - just give me ground beef, for christsakes.
100%, but the context was around overly processed chicken made of “beaks and arseholes” as my mum used to say.
Also, generally speaking, chicken nuggets are low quality reformed chicken. I appreciate that anecdotally your experience is different. I wish i had grown up eating those nuggets as they sound excellent. However, for the majority, I’m certain that it’s the shit nuggets most people were brought up on.
The point about the chicken mash is not the main point. Merely an observation about the caveat in my main point that the statement about orange chicken being orange and chicken is essentially just listing ingreadients.
Like saying cake is just flour eggs butter and sugar.
Yeah. Orange chicken is just orange sauce and chicken nuggets. Of course it is.
We’ve had a ton of debates in my object oriented programming classes about the cube rule of food. Representing it using classes and inheritance with varying food types can be fun:
I think to be organized you’d pick one cuisine as a base object. So if a hotdog is a taco, then beef wellington is a burrito (bread on all sides) as is a calzone.
My idea is you pick one ethnic style as the base and use the cube bread rule to classify every food under that one ethnic base class. So if you start with the idea that a hotdog is a taco, you’d make Mexican your base ethnic cuisine and classify all other foods into a type of Mexican food.

Or fries are just potato strips cooked in oil.
But yeah.

Do you realise you can make chicken nuggets out of actual chicken?
Think of them as mini schnitzel chunks, they are amazing.
They were a staple of our household growing up, and it’s what I think of when someone says “chicken nuggets”

well, yeah? what’s wrong with saying that? this is not the same point you’re making about chicken breast vs chicken mash
The point about the chicken mash is not the main point. Merely an observation about the caveat in my main point that the statement about orange chicken being orange and chicken is essentially just listing ingreadients.

Yeah. Orange chicken is just orange sauce and chicken nuggets. Of course it is.
A sandwich is just a flat hot dog
No that’s baloney.
slow clap
No its not. A hotdog covers a sausage from 3 sides. A sandwich only from 2. Have you never heard of the cube rule?
Cereal is a cold soup
If my hotdog bun splits, does it cease being a hotdog and become a sandwich?
Yes
No, it becomes a giraffe.
A lot of sub places don’t cut the bread all the way through, so their sandwiches have bread on 3 sides
Back in the day, Subway V-cut their bread and wasn’t total shit.
It’s a taco.
Hotdogs are tacos.

So a hot-dog is a taco? is a burrito sushi? beans and rice a salad? Beef wellington a calzone?
I think to be organized you’d pick one cuisine as a base object. So if a hotdog is a taco, then beef wellington is a burrito (bread on all sides) as is a calzone.
I’m sorry but I don’t follow. I’m mostly taking a piss at the idea that there could be a computational identification system.
My idea is you pick one ethnic style as the base and use the cube bread rule to classify every food under that one ethnic base class. So if you start with the idea that a hotdog is a taco, you’d make Mexican your base ethnic cuisine and classify all other foods into a type of Mexican food.
Hot dogs as sandwiches are no different than a sub or hogie. They are sandwiches.
