- [Woman] What up fam, are you ready to eat nuggets?
- Yeah, I'm goddamn starving.
It's always Wednesday.
- Oh, are you pumped, are you pumped?
Let me take these bad boys out of the oven.
Oh look at them, are you ready?
(upbeat music)
Hi guys, it's Candace the Edgy Veg
and I'm here again with my friend Louis
for another taste test. (clapping hands)
- Hello.
- Did you just give yourself a round of applause?
- I deserved it.
- Good.
Starting off on a strong note for Louie.
- Be your biggest fan, be your biggest fan.
- So you guys asked us to make more of these videos.
So we're here.
If you're new here, hit the subscribe button
and watch the other taste test videos that we've done
because they're great.
- Yeah, most meals are.
- Yeah, Most in meals like,
- Yum, yum - yum, yum
- So I went on my Instagram and asked you guys
what you wanted us to taste test.
We just kind of did like...
I went to my Instagram.
If you don't follow my Instagram,
it's @edgyveej and asked you guys
what you wanted us to taste tests.
Usually we just Chuck a bunch of products
that you suggested and there was no real theme,
but this time you guys
asked us to try multiple brands of the same item.
So we thought to do nuggets and other chicken products.
So, we're doing all plant-based chicken like,
"Ooh, and they're ready"
chicken like products.
We got some burgers, we have nuggets.
We have strips because we are here and not at my home.
This is the only container I could find
for the dipping sauce.
This is a plum sauce.
We both love plum sauce with our buckets
of chicken strip items, products, so we have that.
We also have for the burgers,
some vegan Mayo and lettuce to make it as authentic
to chicken burgers or chicken sandwiches as possible.
All right.
So, I have made us that - (mumbles)
- And then we each have,
you'll see a little piece of lettuce
on your plate that is for your chicken burger
or chicken sandwich and then you also have mayo.
You've gone and...
- I'd like to have a little catch up on my chicken burger
It's a burger.
- It's so weird to me. - It's a burger.
- Burgers have ketchup.
I would like to dive into the nugget.
- Okay, Nugget number one is from Zoglo's.
Incredible nuggets.
Golden meatless nuggets
suitable for vegans contains approximate.
Okay,
that's not a simulated chicken nuggets product of Israel.
That's what they look like.
So that is these little things.
So they look like this.
They're very yellow.
- Yeah, they are like,
I don't know if you can...
Yeah there pics it up
- Shockingly yellowy orange.
- It's orange, yeah these are.
- they're nice and crispy.
I'm going in on their own first,
and then with the sauce.
- I'd like to have a whole flavor palette
- Hmm
- That I could just taste
like one of the lower end types of,
actual chicken nuggets that you get.
- The insides really mushy.
- It is, it's kind of like,
you know, you don't look just like the crap,
like, I'm not saying it's bad
but when you go to get...
- It's not bad. - No.
When you go to get chicken nuggets
from the store and you're kind of,
you get like a discounted ones
are like the lower end ones
and the chicken on the inside.
It doesn't taste like an actual like chunk of chicken.
- Yeah.
- It tastes like it's just been mapped.
(Dogs barking)
(both murmurs)
- It tastes like pink slime, chicken nuggets.
- But tastes like a chicken nugget.
Like I'll give that full crack...
- I really like the breading actually.
- It tastes like chicken nugget.
- It's very skinny nugget.
- (murmurs) I'll admit that
- Coz it's my best
On a scale of 1 to 10...
- what are we doing? Are we doing it on?
Like how close it tastes to a real chicken nugget?
Or overall like is it really good?
I think we should maybe do two scales.
- Okay. - So one being,
how close does this taste
to the actual taste of a chicken nugget?
- Like five.
- Really.
- Five or six.
- How close it tastes to me?
This is like an eight.
- Really.
- To have an identical type of nugget
in real chicken form.
This tastes pretty damn close.
- But then in terms of taste.
- Hmm
- I think it's like a seven.
- I'll agree with that.
- All right, Next.
Okay, so for the burger
we have the guardein meat free chicken sliders,
crispy four sliders and buns ready in two minutes.
Like I said, you put it in a microwave.
Contains no poultry by guardian,
so you get four of these little little dudes.
- They're decent size.
- Yeah, they're cute. They're really cute.
I dress mine with Mayo and lettuce
to make it like authentic chicken sandwich style.
- Nobody else put ketchup on chicken burger.
I put ketchup on a chicken burger.
The burger deserves ketchup.
Mayo pickles, same dressing as a burger.
- I'm pretty sure the station call them chicken sandwiches
or not chicken burgers.
- No, we're not in the States, Are we?
- No, I'm just, It was like a fun fact.
So what do you, what do you think?
- I really like it
- I really like it too.
It's a Go-To for me for sure.
I used to buy all the time
and then they got rid of them in Canada.
They came back.
- That is legitimately really good.
First scale, one to 10,
zero to 10, on how much it tastes like chicken.
It doesn't not taste like chicken but it doesn't.
It tastes like a chicken burger.
- Hmm
- So I would give it like an eight.
- And it has like these pull-aparty meaty inside.
- It looks, it like fibrous.
- I really love it.
The bun, like I was a little skeptical
about the bun because like comes with a frozen bun.
- Oh yeah, these ones came with it right, They're legit.
- But I love that comes with the frozen bun
'cause it's like impossible to find slider buttons.
- Hmm
- I give it like an eight and a half, nine.
- Yeah.
- But I truly don't think that
if you gave this to someone
that they'd know that it wasn't chicken.
- I agree with you, that's why...
- Like if you didn't know
that I was vegan and I was like,
I'm making dinner and I made these,
- I would think that was a chicken burger.
- Right? - The demo.
- It's firm, which I like, the contrast
to the other nuggets that we tried,
which were like mushy
and on a scale of one to 10 for taste.
I give the second nine and a half.
- That was really good.
Yeah, I give it nine.
- So these are the Farm Boy,
Vegan, Non-GMO Textured Soy Protein, Chicken-less Nuggets.
You buy them at Farm Boy, exclusively.
- Now, we tried the meat version
of these earlier this week and like...
- Meat version, Like the beef.
- No, Like sorry, beef.
Yeah.
- And they really like
"Oh that's chickening".
It took me a second.
Once you start like getting into that.
Yeah.
- That's like nine out of 10 chicken.
- Yeah, that's chicken.
- The mouth feel.
- Everything, I'd give that.
But it's bang on for actually it tastes like chicken,
I'm not a fan.
(murmurs).
- I like the flavor.
- I'll give that a 5.5.
- It's not like seasoned, it doesn't have like
a season credit or anything.
You know what those would be really good at in?
Chicken balls.
- Yeah, yeah, Like sweet and sour...
- Chicken balls. - Yeah, Really good
and so far, that is a close mimic to chicken
- Really close.
Okay, let's do, These are the Sol Cuisine,
Plant-based superfoods,
non-GMO in shade grains, chicken tenders,
hidden with veggies, ancient grains,
hidden veggies in our signature.
Super food blends.
I love the classic pub grub too, favorite.
- You smell a bit.
- I'm going to try it on its own first.
It tastes nothing like chicken.
- No
- Tastes like a vegetable tender.
Like it tastes like this vegetables in there.
- Chicken flavor.
- Oh like zero.
- But what do you think of the flavor?
I mean, I like it.
- Yeah. - It's just not
a chicken finger at all.
- I don't mind at all.
Flavor-wise, that's one of the better ones for me
out of these so far.
- Donald Bryden is really nice.
- Yeah. The seasoning on it,
they had to season it cause there's not much flavor...
- Inside.
- And it's like, it's just like
a consistent color throughout the whole thing.
- Yeah, it's like it just kind of looks,
Yeah, there's no flavor for the like neat portion of it
but the breading is really nice.
I really enjoy it.
Isn't the closest thing to a chicken tender?
- No. - Absolutely, no.
- But flavor wise,
if you want something that's like a chicken tender,
- But how has that super foods
and ancient grains and hidden vegetables.
- It's kind of reminds me of
a pub chicken finger a little bit
- May be really good if you had kids
to like sneak veggies.
- Yeah, very easy.
- Overall taste.
You know like eight?
- Really, That high?
- Yeah, I'm being generous.
- Give it like a seven and a half.
- My first number in my head
was going to be seven and a half.
So that I'll be generous, toss on an extra 0.5
- All right, Next. - Next.
- We have the chicken lists, bread strips
from president's choice.
They are a plant base in a seven grain coating.
This is a very like trendy thing
right now to make like nuggets and chicken tenders
with like seven grain coding.
- Ancient grains, Some grains
- Instead of like white flour, I guess
The anchor for a quick and delicious dinner.
PC chicken, less bread and strips
have a crunchy seven green coating
and it'll like full chicken like flavor
serve and dip in your favorite sauce.
Alright, we will in soy protein it looks like.
Okay, so it looks like this.
- Little smell to it.
- The breading is dry.
The inside is like eating glue.
- There is literally nothing to doubt.
What the hell were you thinking President's choice?
- There's no flavor.
This tastes like the first chicken substitute
I ever had like in the late
Nineties early two thousands.
- I will just have to say,
that this probably tastes like
what vegans and vegetarians had to put up with 10 years ago.
- Yeah. - That is awful.
- Zero
- No, I'm not even... - zero.
- It doesn't even get one poop emoji.
- I want a glass of water.
- Oh, I've made I,
I filled up a glass of water.
I just forgot it.
All right, should we move on to the next batch.
- Please, for the love of God, yes.
This is how lashing green my apartment is,
loader on up.
- Oh, I forgot the lettuce.
To be perfectly honest with you,
I use chicken burgers or chicken sandwiches
really just as...
Thank you, as a vehicle to eat vegan Mayo.
We're back.
Do you want to try those?
Okay, those are the...
- They look very similar to...
- The other ones, right?
The sole one.
- Yeah.
- These are the guardian meat free,
crispy, tender seven grain.
We're back with the ancient grains,
Seven grain, 12 grain.
Grain on the brain.
- My God!
- Good source of protein.
Ready in 10 minutes, non-GMO verified.
It looks like these ones
are also soy protein and wheat gluten.
- I will reserve my review until you have tried.
- I'm going to try it on too.
- I gave it a double five.
- Double five, Really?
It's a middle of the road.
- Yeah, I give it like for chicken flavor.
I got a six and a half.
- Texture, It's getting up there.
If it doesn't totally do it for me,
but it's close.
- She's just walking around coz,
the pitter patter of tiny feet.
You know what?
Just guys, listen.
It's just because we have to film this and yeah.
For me, it's a chicken flavor is like six, six and a half.
And for taste like, yeah,
it would definitely like crave
my craving for a chicken tender.
- Yeah, I would be...
- Am I like gonna write home about it?
No, so I'd give it like a seven.
- My dearest Candace.
- I tried these tenders today.
I gave them a seven and a half.
- I talked between a five a five.
- Dog!
- Upon these tendors of the poultry.
But anybody else would like to become my pen pal.
I'll put my...
- He's gonna leave his address down there
and then you can come
and stalk him.
- You can only write to me using a Quill,
old-school Quill and the letter has to be sealed
with a wax seal.
- He is not at all high maintenance.
We have the eaves, cuisine, veggie nuggets
with whole wheat breading.
- You know what whole wheat means to me, no fun.
- They look like every other one that we've tried.
- Mine looks like a half melted snowman.
- Okay.
It's, there's like a nice moist, juicy flavor.
- That's like texture
and like juiciness of a flush.
It's like 8.59.
- It's like really good.
like a dense, you know I like it 'cause it's thick.
And so it allows that
- You know what? It is the thickest.
- It is.
- It is the thickest of the things we've tried today.
She's the fit bitch with three C.
Yeah, I really, that's my favorite,
so far of the day.
- Really? - Hmm
- Of the day? - of the day.
- Bold statement? - Hmm.
- Which one's your favorite so far?
This far?
- I would have to say first,
I think it was the first one of these.
That I said tasted like a pub flavor.
That was really nice season one?
- Oh, that's what this cuisine one miss.
That one was your favorite?
- The slider was pretty good too.
That one wouldn't be,
although I'd say the texture's probably the best.
That one out of all the ones that we've tried.
- Okay, the last one
is the meat free chicken
with like chick apostrophe N.
Is good source of protein, ready in 12 minutes,
GMO project verified, no poultry...
Serving suggestion.
Bun, mayo, lettuce, onion and pickles.
- Interesting. - Not ketchup.
I have a mayo and lettuce onion.
- I have, we'll catch up.
- I've also seen the ban to get the fast food feel.
- That was smart.
- It could be a bit thicker though.
- Yeah
- It could be twice the size, twice the thickness.
- It looks great.
- It's really good,
all I taste is bun.
- Exactly, very hard to kind of bite through it.
Not actually bite through.
I mean like through the flavor.
- But it's juicy.
I'm going to finish it, I'm not pushing it away.
I just would like to talk and wrap this and then eat it
in peace without an animal on my lap.
Chicken flavor.
- Good, it's there.
- Yeah. - Seven and a half?
- I was going to go like eight.
- Yeah.
- It's the patties, nice and juicy.
So the breading is nice too.
I think the breading is nicely seasoned.
It's not too thick.
So when you cook it,
it's not just like hard breading
and then wishing soft dance.
- Right.
The Patty itself used to be like 30 percent bigger.
- Twice...
