McDonald’s debuts plant-based McNuggets

Posted on 02/15/2023 4:41:31 PM PST by BenLurkin

McPlant Nuggets __ made from peas, corn and wheat with a tempura batter __ are the second product McDonald’s has co-developed with Beyond Meat, an El Segundo, California-based maker of plant-based meats. McDonald’s has been selling a McPlant burger since 2021.

McDonald’s said the nationwide nugget rollout to more than 1,400 restaurants in Germany follows a limited-time test at nine restaurants in the Stuttgart area in August. McDonald’s will also start selling the McPlant burger in Germany next week.

Availability of the McPlant nuggets and burger in future markets will depend on customer demand, McDonald’s said.

The McPlant burger is now a permanent menu item in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Austria and the Netherlands. Last month, McDonald’s rolled out the Double McPlant burger in the U.K. and Ireland.

But in the U.S., McDonald’s ended a test of the McPlant burger last summer without announcing any future plans for its sale.

"Will they accept monopoly money for payment?"

Nope, they only accept the real McDeal.

They could sell it as a corn fritter (with maple syrup) and that might work.

One of my high school chums (late 70s) used to call that place McDeath. Seemed about right.

Real hamburger was used.

For what it's worth, McDonalds claims to use only real hamburger. I hear that advertised today.

“McDonald’s is the best for breakfast bar none.”

That’s due to the Biscuit & gravy. Only thing I’ve eaten from MDs in years.

McPlant nuggets are BM or Beyond Meat. From what I’ve heard, during processing of the the plant material, it’s infused with anti bloating agents, because some plant material like lettuce give some people gas and they have a tendency to bloat up.

Parents shoving grass clippings in their kids mouths and telling ‘em they’re chicken nuggets. ROTFL. Welcome to Fake Amerika!

I remember in the early 1980’s sitting at a table in my local Jack in the Box and reading the information on the bottom of the bag. It said that Jack in the Box was a subsidiary of Ralston-Purina.

When bugs become standard, think of all the places that won’t have to worry about roach infestations any more on their health/cleanliness checks...they’ll just be “unharvested food”.
