Jamie Oliver shows Schoolkids how Chicken Nuggets are made
tags:As part of his school lunches program, Jamie tries to take on the most stubborn kids. He decides to show them how Chicken Nuggets are made - by blending the skin and "mechanically reclaimed" meat.

Molecular Gastronomy chefs like wylie dufrense of wd-50, jose andreas of minibar, and alex and aki of Ideas in Food have used this enzyme in the production of haute cuisine. Wylie is famous for using it to create shrimp noodles. Essentially, he blends the heck out of shrimp and then adds a very specific amount of transglutaminase, which he calls meat glue. Then he extrudes the mixture into water that is kept within a fraction of a degree to the proper temperature for cooking shrimp. The result is long thin noodles that are made entirely of seasoned shrimp.
Meanwhile in colorado, aki and alex got a hold of some meat glue and had some success gluing chicken skin onto tuna. They report that it is super awesome- I just guess we have to take their words for it.
Chicken Nuggets are totally fake food. Good on the kid for figuring it out.
My respect to Jamie Oliver.
I stopped disliking him when I watched Jamie's School Dinners brilliant series.

He's got balls.
Meatballs.
He himself sounds 20 years older.
LOL, "this is all the 'E' numbers" - in Europe you see Exxx, representing all the fake crap in food. Excellent clip!
Mechanically seperated is just like "flogging" or "scourging" - it's in the Bible, it happened, and yet people freaked out when the Passion showed it for what is is.
Our culture is too freakin' anti-septic for its own good.
@djsunkind, teh "E" reference is the off-hand references to what you cited.
Here's a replacement.
Enjoy!
Jamie Oliver is teaching irrationality and inefficiency, all the while being applauded as the saviour of British schoolchildren.
