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.
You're viewing a single thread.
chicken schnitzel is a chicken nugget for adults? Sure. I'll let that truth stand.
But a chicken parmi? As in, a schnitzel covered in tomato pasta sauce, a slice of ham (or similar) and drowned in melted cheese? I dunno.
I think we're going to have to draw the line at cheese making it an adult meal.
But here's the most important part: no-one needs to grow up. You need to harden up, not grow up.
