chik'n nuggets

Although a proud carnivore, I now prefer Quorn chik'n nuggets to actual chicken nuggets. For those of you who don't know, Quorn is one of those meatless food brands geared for vegetarians in your grocer's freezer section. (Wait - who actually says "your grocer's freezer section"?) These nuggets are made of ground mushroom fibers or something. Anyway, knowing myself, I believe the new preference has more to do with my fascination for science novelties rather than true taste superiority.

Apparently if you bastardize the word "chicken" it doesn't have to be made out of it.

I've yet to try p'rk.
