Pools - R U CHIK´N?

 
Today I join Rain´s Thursday Art and Dinner Date with "Pools". Soon, huh - let´s hope for a hot summer!
 
And for the dinner part Ingo served:
 
 
Reckon he must be in love, the omelette was pretty salty - is that a German saying for too salty, being in love?
 
Either way, the Schnitzel looks yummy, huh, here is a close-up and... surprise, ...
 

 Yes! 64% milk by:
 
 
And really, could´ve been chicken as well.
 
Here is how it´s done:
"When making Valess skim milk products, we first create curds, which are the first step in cheesemaking. We then add algae extract and calcium to create fiber. Herbs, spices, salt, and binding agents such as oat fiber and wheat flour are added to the fiber. We also add a little iron, as this is an important nutrient in meat. All of this is blended into a kind of dough, which is used to make Valess's chicken-like products.

The dough is then shaped into the specific product, filled with a filling, and coated with breading. The products are then heated to ensure food safety, packaged, and refrigerated."
 
In the long run, though, I think insects it will be as veggie-stuff costs a lot of energy to produce, too, according to a docu I watched. 
 
I think REWE or EDEKA has insect-burgers, maybe give it a go some time. Cause... we´re not chicken, are we?
What do you favor?
 
The series:
"Are these the worst decisions in history?
 
 
The New Coke Wasn't Well-Received
 
In 1985, Coke celebrated its centenary by announcing a 'New Coke`, which was introduced after selected blind taste tests showed that the new formula tasted better than the old Coke. However, the public wasn't convinced, and sales fell by 20%. Coca-Cola, however, remained undeterred and continued producing the new version until finally admitting defeat in 2002. The decision to fix something that wasn't broken backfired dramatically, and the 'New Coke' campaign is considered one of the biggest marketing blunders of the 20th century."

Cheers? Do you remember this? I do not. Did you drink "Coca-Cola"? In my family we did not have this "fancy stuff". We ran cheap.  And that was OK.
But, just yesterday my friend fK said I am not cheap. Mentioning Perth every two years was a point she sure could make!
But then. look at the neighbor. At least twice a day he goes out for a coffee. By himself, cause he has no one.
Yes, I admit, once in a while you find me by myself, too, having a craft beer. In Freo, maybe, or Northbridge. Ingo still even mentions this 🤣
 
"My" waiter at Guido´s in Braunschweig: "All by yourself today?!" ... "...!"... "A Poretti?"
(Duuuuude, yes,) "and a Calabrese, please!" ... "😘"  (Italians, you know?)

But, sometimes I WANT, or I even kinda need "my own space", I am not lonely.
Just sitting in, say 40C ",which is 104 Farenheit" (to refer to how Jamie explains the world) and have a cool craft beer, watching the world passing by.
No Coke, my own little luxury...

Burger?
I have THE MOST FANCIEST STUFF in the fridge by the way - wish me luck!
Was a... cheapy. Hmmmm, let´s see...
Unlike Ingo I always try new stuff, if reasonable.

Loved your idea of Pool. Laughed at the vegetarian chicken!

Never tried the New Coke, but I'm not one to drink carbonated drinks.

An interesting chicken product, Iris. I am having veggie burgers for dinner today.

I love veggie burgers, they're great. When new coke came out, I was working for Coke. The public didn't like it, so they stayed with the original Coke and it was no longer produced in our bottling company. Big bust.

Not sure I could stomach insect burgers. Maybe just don't tell me what it is I'm eating!

A very cute Henry. Hmmm. Not into insect burgers, I think! I remember the New Coke. Don't know if I ever had it.

Granny Sue said...

That schnitzel looks darn good!
The new Coke, well, I so rarely drink Coke. I remember the hullabaloo, but I never tried it.

Milk schnitzel? No no, real chicken for me please.
