Well everybody kept talking about it, so I started playing BG3 also

Doc and I have been enjoying chicken wings with the Mission Chinese spice mix as described here: https://www.vice.com/en/article/d7kqjm/chongqing-chicken-wings

But we also try to eat some meals without meat, so we thought it would be fun to try some fake chicken wings/tenders with the same powder mix and see how they fare

We’ve tried 6 different vegetarian chicken replacements with the power thus far, and while it is still our favorite with actual chicken wings, many of the vegetarian options were very enjoyable.

I intend to rate them all in 6 different categories to compare them: taste, texture, protein, fiber, fat, and carbohydrates. Then I can come up with some kind of score for them and rank them numerically. Because often with meat replacements, the tastiest is not the healthiest, so I figured I would take everything into account.

I’ll report back once I’ve crunched all the numbers.

We went down to Pigeon Point this weekend to try and see the Perseids, but alas it was totally socked in with fog. It was still pretty fun and relaxing though! A tiny mini-vacation
