What have you eaten that tastes like chicken?

The further it is from chicken, the better.

I'll start.

Copperhead (yes, the snake) tastes pretty much like chicken.

Asparagus [goats.com].

And lamb brains tasted like eggs, does that count?

Alligator nuggets [fl-ag.com]; although it could have just been a result of it's last meal, or the oil that was used to fry a cornucopia of golden nugget-y goodness.

In Response to jettaboy20 (#11072):

Hmmm... no wonder the alligator nuggets I made tasted like ass. I didn't use "Florida eggs" and "Florida milk" [216.239.41.104].

I guess Virginia milk was never meant to coat the swampy goodness of alligator flesh.

Plus, I didn't use Florida alligator, I used old frozen whiting fillets.

McNuggets

Mako shark. Greasier, but otherwise very chicken-like. Or so I remember. I haven't had any in nine years.

In Response to deerboy (#11075):

Oddly enough, chicken nuggets - of pretty much any variety - actually have more soy than vegetarian nuggets.

Apparently, the vegetarian nuggets have other stuff to give them texture and nutritive value; the chicken nuggets just have filler. No actual chickens were harmed.

i had eel at this one sushi place that I swear tasted like chicken.

I had these buffalo wings this one time that I was almost certain tasted like chicken.

In Response to sakuruth (#11085):

What the hell is the point of that?

That's like saying "an Irish coffee actually has more cream than a regular coffee."

In Response to Yoshi (#11090):

Wow! I had this idea that consumers would like bread if it came presliced. That's an original idea, right?

People, sadly, taste like Pork. And not just cops and/or americans... all people.

In Response to deerboy (#11126):

Gee. I thought it was funny because, you know, you would expect there to be chicken in the chicken nuggets. Whereas the vegetarian nuggets, being fake meat, would presumably have a high soy content, since soy is commonly used in vegetarian not-meats.

Basically, the point was to demonstrate that Chicken McNuggets, which by their title would seem at first glance to be composed of chicken, are in fact composed almost exclusively of fancy tofu.

In Response to mcgrue (#11131):

I knew there was a reason humans aren't kosher.

In Response to sakuruth (#11142):

First of all, I already made the joke about the chicken content of McNuggets. Gee, it was funny without all of the explanation.

Second of all, you are an idiot.

I was going to write something to flesh the second point out, but I really don't feel like it. Go think about the Irish Coffee analogy for a while. Sigh. Now, if b > a, does that mean b is huge, or simply bigger than a?

In Response to deerboy (#11149):

I attempted to add a fact that I found amusing, and seemed to me to be related to your post. Clearly, you don't share my crude sense of humor, and what I considered 'related' is in fact merely 'redundant'. My deepest apologies for falling short of your standards.

In Response to sakuruth (#11153):

Apology accepted. Your 'humor' is fine, although maybe not so humerous. My problem is with your logic, a point you refuse to address and instead took things personally. To quote:

1. Oddly enough, chicken nuggets - of pretty much any variety - actually have more soy than vegetarian nuggets.

2. Chicken McNuggets, which by their title would seem at first glance to be composed of chicken, are in fact composed almost exclusively of fancy tofu.

Somehow, 2. is supposed to follow from relationship 1. Here is my analogy spelled out:

1. Irish coffee actually has more cream than regular coffee

2. Irish Coffee, which by its title would seem at first glance to be full of whiskey, is in fact composed almost exclusively of fancy cream.

Aristotle I'm not, and I didn't even have to use 'U' or 1/'U'.

In Response to sakuruth (#11153):

My deepest apologies

Screw that.

Tell him to piss off!

In Response to deerboy (#11127):

Only if it's an Internet enabled loaf of bread. Then, not only is it original, but you can PATENT it.

"One click to buy stuff". Yeah. That's original.

Point 1: Whisky is a Scottish invention.

Point 2: I was trying to say that, extrapolating from the name of the food without any prior knowledge of its contents, chicken would seem to be a main ingredient in chicken nuggets. Similarly, extrapolating from the name of the drink, Irish coffee would seem to have coffee as a main ingredient (or at least a base). Therefore, since coffee is in fact a primary ingredient in Irish coffee, along with cream and liquor, this assumption holds true. However, it does not hold true in the case of the chicken nuggets. The dichotomy between the expected and the actual is then the basis for my joke.

This is essentially the same as someone not familiar with English names for animals seeing a 'prairie dog' for the first time.

Of course, this is all a rather moot point; McDonald's has begun advertising whole-meat nuggets.

No, scratch that.

Not the way my Irish mother in law makes it.

Yes. So tell him to Piss Off, already. Sheesh!

'Tis true. Ireland got a legal ruling that Whiskey was Irish, so we had to start spelling it without an 'e'.

It's unclear where exactly whiskey originated, but regardless, it certainly is associated with the Irish today.

In Response to sakuruth (#11202):

Sigh. I'm really trying to be nicer, although I guess I should apologize for being grouchy before.

I will now stop all analogies and jokes regarding the Irish and drinking. Apparently that didn't work. Your 'prairie dog' analogy does not cut butter. A rose by any other name . . . I appreciate being pedantic, but not when it obscures the actual concept. I think maybe somebody has spent a little too much time deconstructing. And this is the first time I have seen the word 'dichotomy' and 'joke' in the same sentance.

I really could go on all day with this. Either your original 'joke' is banaly redundant or the point you are making is not demonstrated by your evidence. So, remembering I am not tring to be a jackass (it just comes out naturally), Sakuruth, I would appreciate it if you could please answer the following:

If chicken nuggets have more soy content than veggie nuggets, does this imply that chicken nuggets are made mostly out of soy, or just that chicken nuggets have more soy content than veggie nuggets?

In Response to mea37 (#11209):

AHHHHHHHHHHH. Jon, save me from your followers. I think I just had a brain hemmorage. Nope, just leaking out my ears again, though. When I get a headache this afternoon, you are all to blame.

From mea37's citation:

While the exact origins are lost in the mists of time, it is generally accepted that the ancient Celts (and yes, that would include the Scots, Irish, Cornish and Welsh) knew how to distill grains at least as far back as 800 B.C.

This is the citation that demonstrates Point 1: Whisky is a Scottish invention?

If that's the case, I have a story about Weapons of Mass Destruction to sell you . . .

In Response to deerboy (#11213):

I think it's a counter cite.

As opposed to a site with a counter.
