The Chicken Parmi Is Just Chicken Nuggets for Adults

I'm going to cop flak for this— but I don't care.

I don't even care if I ruin this pub favourite. The truth is more important.

This has gnawed away at me ever since I sat eating a chicken parmi and realized my son's kid's meal, nuggets + chips + salad and sauce is just a miniaturized concept. Rather, the parmi is just the 'adultified' version of the nuggets. You can @ me if you want to argue about the nuances about additional mozzarella, the difference between the sauces or even the number of nuggets versus the size of parmi, but I won't respond. You and I both know now you are eating a kids meal and you need to grow up.

One thing remains constant, crumbed chicken, sauce, chips and salad.

You can't run from it, you are eating a kids meal dressed in an adult's name.

  • hamroll on 09/07/2024 - 15:55

    you are completely wrong… nuggets are definitely classified as an adult meal. They are just so versatile that children can also eat it.

    Your logic is like saying a cheeseburger is a child's meal because it is in the happy meal, and a triple cheeseburger is "just a big version of a child's meal"

    It was hard to choose from so many contenders but I think my favourite bit is where he doesn't understand the concept of one.

    I don't even care if I ruin this pub toilet favourite. The truth is more important.

    This has gnawed away at me ever since I sat doing a chicken parmi dump and realized my meal, nuggets + chips + salad and sauce is now a nuggeted defecation. Rather, the meal is just the 'unnuggeted' version of the poop. You can @ me if you want to argue about the nuances about additional corn kernels, the difference between the stool textures or even the number of nuggets versus the size of dump, but I won't respond. You and I both know now you are dumping a pub meal and you need to wipe up.

    One thing remains constant, constipation, sauce, chips and roids.

    You can't run from it, you are dumping a meal dressed in a brown nugget.

    So a Chicken Kiev meal is really just a chicken nugget meal for adults?

    How about chicken schnitzel meal? It has no sauce, so can't be classed a chicken nugget meal!

    Thoughts on Chicken tenders? Medium sized chicken nuggets for the kids that are no longer kids but not yet an adult?

    Still love to know what the OP things a 'adult' mean is now….

  • dingleberries on 09/07/2024 - 16:33

    I mean… If you're going to go this far to compare a completely different dish, go further, isn't every dish a version of a kids meal?

    Your steak and mash is just a larger portion of the kids cheeseburger and fries.
    Your burrata and smoked prosciutto pizza is just a larger portion of the kids cheese pizza.

    This is similar to the idea that all meals are sandwiches or salads, if you think hard enough it'll be true.

    Just let people enjoy their meal, argue if it's a parma or parmi and live their life knowing no difference.

      I don't particularly like Parma, but it's the safest option to get in a pub. If any place cooks a parma wrong, there's nothing in their menu worth eating.

  • souljah on 09/07/2024 - 18:44

    Hey OP. Love to get your thoughts on "sliders".

    Where do they fit in? Adult burgers made tapas style? Kids burgers made for adults? Wife loves them, I hate them. Never as good as their full size counterparts.

    Prospect of have 2 or 3 different flavours sounds good but then one always tastes the best and you wish you just had it in full size…

    Posting a “hot take” with no profound meaning but inflammatory enough to get people defensive…. That’s internet bread and butter. Not surprising.

    This is great OP thanks. I did thoroughly enjoy this angle on parma (not parmi).

    I will however continue to prefer this as my meal of choice at any RSL/pub I visit.

    Problem is your entire argument is built on the premise that chicken nuggets are kids food which isn't true.

    You'd have better luck with mashed potatoes.

  • Randolph Duke on 10/07/2024 - 09:32

    OP has overreached. A chicken schnitzel would have been a better comparison, but OP got too worked up to shoot down the pub favourite. At least this is better then the OP's first thread.

    • Crow K on 10/07/2024 - 10:01

          If it makes you feel better all you have to do is find a 2 for 1 parma night and then most of OzBargain would give you the thumbs up to eat multiple… Alternatively, ditching processed food will probably make you sleep better too…

    I personally loved the part where this dude said he doesn’t care about flak, a few sentences later says he won’t respond, then proceeds to care enough to respond to people here with a presumptuous claim that we’re all angry, via an edit.

    I think I’m worried for this guy coz if he says a pan fried chicken bewb is the same as the kids meal bite sized deep fried bois, just wait till he discovers sliders….

    Kids meal or not who doesn’t find some comfort from a parmi, am I right? Perth pub The Vic has some good ones on Thursday nights I think

  • browser on 11/07/2024 - 09:29

    What's the problem?

    When you sit down to have a family dinner, you all eat the same thing, you eat a larger portion, your kid eats a smaller portion, same concept.

    On a side note, I think the serving side can be reduced (and price accordingly). However, I do understand the reason why they wouldn't. When they sell a parmi at $30, they justify the price by giving you a large serving, in other words, to sell more than you need. They don't want to sell a smaller parmi at $20 when it costs the same labour to make.

    So, my solution is to share it, instead of buying a separate kids meal (unless it's kids eat free night).

    Well besides the obvious point that Chicken Parmi was invented before the chicken nugget, therefore the nugget is really just a smaller version of the adult meal. regardless though the nugget isn't even really a childs meal and was neve3r intended to be one, it is just convenient for children. But really who gives a shit, I will happily call it a childs meal and eat it anyway, are you so vane and have such poor self confidence that you can't eat something if it is labeled as a childrens meal?
