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.

Well, I don't see a problem with Adult Nuggies...

But, oh, there's a lot of variability in parmi's and even in just a chicken schnitzel.

Some 'chicken' schnitzels aren't pure chicken. They're some sort of mashed up beaks and feet with filler in breadcrumbs. Some are real chicken, but unidentifiable parts of a chicken. Some are real chicken breast, and even fewer are chicken thighs.

Then you get the cooking bit. And it's so often overcooked. Dry, tough. Maybe they want to make you buy another beer to try and wash it down.

I'm not even gonna start on the parmi side... It's not tomato sauce ffs, and your cheese and/or ham does matter. Most places going parmi makes a schnitzel worse instead of better.

There's two places I know that do it well, and no, I'm not telling you where, because I'm not gonna show up to the place and be told they've sold out of my Adult Nuggies. No1 doesn't share his food.
