At what age does it become inappropriate to eat chicken nuggets in a restaurant?


Babyformula is kidsfood.
But that is about it, I think.
Well, unless you want to add pancakes, icecream and candy to that list.
Most of the time it's just different forms of food but it don't make it a red flag to prefer one and not the other.. unless it's to filter out for example non-vegans or something (lifestyle preferences). That makes sence. But saying there are types of food that are childrens food just because they are associated with children's menues are closer to a red flag than eating nuggets (but neither are really valid to say is a red flag, red flags are supposed to be serious points).
I could easily see a dish being formed that are more formal than a heap of nuggets, that could make it seem more mature.
But I'd say nuggets are like chickenwings or big chicken schnitzels.
This question has more to do with what you associate different things with. You obviously want to put people (or guys?) into categories to simplify how you see them. But I think you should maybe be more wary about judging so fast.
I mean, even some of the things that may actually be more questionable habits that some people do have.. like say.. still plays with lego or build modeltrains (that is something I've seen that took me aback first time I heard about it).
It might seem strange, weird or breaking the patteren for the perfect-prince-formula but even those types of people may be absolutely mature and gorgeous inside.
Im just saying, it's not synonymus with red flag to break the norm. And even if something made you cringe a bit, maybe try exploring that quirk about someone before saying they're childish and making assumptions about them. Everyone has quirks (at least anyone real).
It's never inappropriate, it's just stupid to pay a restaurant that much for something you could go buy a big bag of and cook just as well in an airfryer at your own home.
I'd just judge the financial irresponsibility not the nugs, nugs are fucking awesome. People who think making a mess trying to nibble all the meat off the bone of a chicken wing is somehow more mature crack me up, yeah you look real "adult" covered in sauce with a mountain of tiny dirty napkins by you.
Restaurants in general are just a sign of laziness, do you really have a party to large to fit in your house? Or were you just to lazy to keep your house presentable and couldn't be bothered to cook? You chose to spend more on food you could have made yourself and also have to put up with whatever other assholes are in the restaurant the same time you are.
People have some weird things they think about. "kids food"
You can eat whatever is on the menu. You're paying for it.
The restaurant staff will only judge you if you make unreasonable demands or stupid orders like
"Can I have the full English breakfast, but without the black pudding, can I swap that for a bacon and my eggs should be a 6 minutes boiled egg, also I don't want the tomato either, and the beans should touch the egg."
Now this is when they will want you to fuck off. (I worked in a restaurant)
If you order chicken nuggets, they will be happy as it's one of the easiest thing to cook.
And who cares about other customers? You're paying for it, not them.
There’s an age limit? Strips maybe but nuggets most likely I’m eating them in the comfort of my car. Not that I’d really feel judged but I’m most likely at a restaurant where I’d like to try the variety and I don’t like nuggets outside of once maybe every two years I might eat a McDonald’s nugget.

True adults do what they want and ignore the people too immature and petty to judge them based on not following unwritten arbitrary social norms. If I as a 35 year old want to order chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese in a restaurant, I'm not going to give a damn what snobby, pretentious pseudo-adult sitting across from me at the other table thinks is "immature."
It's like women who think adult men who play video games are "losers," even if these men own homes and are debt-free, while the women criticizing them lives with roommates while in their 30s and can barely pay their own rent or keep their own bedrooms clean.
Also, chicken nuggets are on the kids menu because they're finger foods. Young kids can't exactly use a knife or fork yet. Which is why you rarely see spaghetti or soup on the kids menu. It's all food that is normally eaten by hand.
TL;DR: People need to worry more about their own sh*t in life.
The chicken nugget contains very little actual meat. Rather, nuggets are mostly fat (60%) and other assorted body parts, including nerves, bone, skin, and connective tissue. The chicken parts are ground, then forced under high pressure through screens that reduce the meat, bones, and other parts into a paste. This paste is mixed with chicken skin and "additives". The additives include emulsifiers and thickeners, wheat-based batter, vegetable oil, sodium phosphate, anti-foaming agents, monosodium glutamate (message), anti-caking agents such as calcium silicate, dextrose, yeast extracts, propylene glycol, modified cornstarch, whey (a milk product), and various preservatives and fillers. including starch and sodium phosphate, and then shaped into nuggets.
Yum!
I don't eat that shit. I wouldn't even let my kids eat it.
@MCheetah. Did I offend you? LOL Did you even know that's how nuggets are made?
I don't think McNuggets and Kobe beef are the only two choices. Don't even get me started naming all the good food that's available at affordable prices.
I'm nowhere near being a heath nut or wealthy. But I try to eat real food and not nonnutrative, fake shit that misleadingly looks and tastes like food but isn't. I also don't like patronizing evil, greedy corporations who sell shit like that to the unsuspecting public. I'm not going to eat the lab-grown meat that is on the horizon, either. But that's just me.
I'm not offended. I just don't like it when people judge others based on what they eat, especially when the ones judging others are usually upper middle class people who can afford to eat healthy. It comes off elitist to me.
"Good food that's available at affordable prices"
No. There almost aren't any. "Affordable" to you is probably far out of my price range. Like that "all organic, free-range" stuff. I'm not even saying it's bad, but sh*t man, even now, I couldn't afford that kind of food and I have a full time job.
There's a reason more poor people are overweight and unhealthy than rich people, and it's not just gluttony, laziness, and poor willpower. I say this as someone who had to grow up eating groceries from Save-A-Lot and Dollar Tree. We couldn't afford $100 a week on groceries, which some people would call "affordable." 
However, I also rarely ate fast food or order-out food growing up as well, in case you think I'm supporting unhealthy eating. I'm just saying, some people don't have a choice but to eat the "fake sh*t" from Save-A-Lot cause they weren't born in a $100K+ a year household.
For reference, it'd be like someone asking "What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?" and a commenter going "I don't eat ice cream because I'm not a fat-ass and I actually care about my health. I wouldn't even give my worst enemies ice cream, because I wouldn't want them to eat such fatty sh*t." Even though the question is just asking about what flavors of ice cream people like.
Even if what the other person is saying is true, no one likes a party-pooper or judgmental answers unrelated to the question.
I don't care if you eat burgers made out of dog shit or ground rats. I simply wrote about what's in chicken nuggets and concluded that I, myself, wouldn't eat them. I didn't say anything mean about people who like them.
You're the one who attacked me personally, called me names, and made ridiculous straw man arguments. What a joke.
No age limit. I still enjoy kid's foods such as chicken fingers, fish sticks and Tator tots.
The difference is that as an adult I will spend the money to purchase higher quality (such as REAL Tator tots) rather than the cheap store brands my mother fed us as kids.
I mean if you order chicken nuggets as like your entire meal then there is something wrong with you
But chicken nuggets on the side is fine unless you're going to like one of those really fancy restaurants but in which case I'd much rather just cook at home because by this point here we've went from something more of just a convenience to spending money on food that honestly I could probably do better at making
"Restaurant quality" generally means made a semi-slopily so that way it can be out of the kitchen in a time frame that other customers can get their food without throwing a fit
Sure the food's not bad but it's also not some Divine experience
@ well I think if you're paying for something you can have it anytime you want. I don't want think about this too long or too hard because I know how those chicken nuggets are made but even I go in and order them because actually I order a Happy Meal because I want the apples but I will eat the Nuggets too Do I'm going to say 75 years old
If I knew a woman was arrogant enough to pass judgement on a man's food choices based on social programming I would eat them just to ridicule her childish & mindless sheep-like behavior, otherwise I'd tell her to pick an age that applies to her, but so far as I go, shut up and let me make my own choices; I'm not trying to define "appropriate" for you around my beliefs... at least that's what I'd tell her if she argued my food choices were inappropriate.
The only exception would be if it were a health issue (i. e. I had medical issues & was making destructive choices), then her condemnation of immature judgement would hold validity, otherwise I'd think she's a mindless follower of whatever society tells her to think.
what do you mean? never!
if someone wants to eat something they should be able to.
the fact that it's on the kids menu its a separate issue. what most people disagree with is grown ass people ordering from the children menu since the restaurant doesn't have a simple chicken niggets or a shcnitzel, which is basically a giant nugget, on the normal menu.
Chicken nuggets, chicken tenders, chicken wings... what's the difference? It's chicken. xDI like them all. I have friends in their thirties who order the ten piece nuggets at McDonalds. I don't think we ever grow out of that, and food is food. Enjoy what you like.

Yum!
I eat them. I eat them with BBQ sauce or ketchup.
I eat what I want! If others don’t like it, that’s their problem, not mine! They aren’t eating it, I am, so what business is it of theirs.
Who says what is kids food vs adult food? You eat what tastes good!
I still eat fairy bread at times! Or other things that I ate during my childhood. Because I like it!
At what age does it become inappropriate to judge people for a normal thing?
Let's be honest, judging, labeling and ranting on internet is for people who lack intellectual capacity.
It's never too late to try something 'grown up' like minding your own business so that you don't get too much of free time to cry about most trivial things.
As long as they're not in the shape of dinosaurs or something, I see no problem with adults eating chicken nuggets - they're more grown up than a turkey twizzler.
The only time I'd order them though, would be at a fish 'n' chip shop (I don't eat fish) or, hypothetically speaking, at McDonalds (I've been about three times in my life, after the traumatizing doughnut disaster of '88).
Omg chicken nuggets, especially the ones from Mcdonald's, are great hangover foods and a craving I always have on my period. If you count McDonald's @2am as a restaurant, I think it's fine.
But if I was in a diner or something real I personally wouldn't do it but I think it's fine.
I've never had chicken nuggets, not even as a child, things like that would never have been served in our house. On the rare occasion we were allowed to accompany our parents to a restaurant as children they weren't the type of establishment that had a children's menu, its a long and complicated story of my childhood.
If i'm being dragged to a restaurant that is known for having trash food "but they have a great bar and live music!" they tell me... I will gladly order 5 kids meals worth of chicken tenders and mac and cheese. Hell I dated a girl who's palette was absolute garbage and she would order from the kids menu. Its like ordering a girly drink, who gives a fck what other people think. If you judge me for it on a date I dodged a bullet.
I frequently order from the "kids" menu when going out to eat. Instead of an adult menu, they should call that section the "Fat people's menu." Their portions are usually 1/3 to 1/2 more than what I can eat.
Agree.
There's an inappropriate age to eat things? Jeez! I just wanna eat my food (that we need to live) in peace
never, i have elderly and disabled patients that love chicken nuggets, i dont judge-
It's inappropriate at any age.
Only if 'you' are from a primitive culture, you won't mind to eat ANYTHING that makes you feel... fed.
I don't think it ever is inappropriate due to age. You like what you like and there is nothing wrong with ordering a wad of chicken. That's like saying you're to old to get meatballs with spaghetti. It's the same thing just a different meat.
fuck that... I'll get a fuckin' kid's meal if I want! you gotta problem with that? well, I'll tell you what the cops told my youngest aunt when she called them when she was being chased by my eldest when they where kids: ''deal with''.
''deal with it'.
Never. Any one, at any age, can eat chicken nuggets. They're not just for kids!
@purplepoppy Re: your update. If my date wants to order chicken nuggets, I'd have no problem with that. The purpose of the date is to have a good time together, so if she wants to eat them, that's no skin of f my back... definitely not a red flag. In fact, it could be a green flag... think of all the money we could save on food if the date turned into a long-term relationship. 😀
Do you honestly think I care about age? You think chicken nuggets at McDonald’s and at Burger King are for kids? They’re not
I don't think there is an age limit. The cartoon was funny.
Never. I always loved and will love chicken nuggets
If a person playing for it. Then is just food to eat no matter what age is for.
Pay for it.
Being too picky for food is also seen a red flags.
Nuggets are for any age. Then again I still eat Trix too. Seriously who cares if adults eat chicken nuggets?
What can I say. I'm a rebel.
Yep. I was a teen when they came out with that commercial. Agest mf's.
In some ways yes.
When a kid can use a fork and knife, it's time to graduate to something better. Nuggets are processing plant waste, pressed together. 🤮
12. i started splitting adult meals with my parents and went from there when they knew i needed more than a kiddie meal ha!
I once ran into a drug dealer while sitting in a McDonald’s but I am lucky the convo ended before he learned my name.
Never, anyone who judges an adult for eating that as if they're not allowed tk can fuck off, eat shxt and die... We don't need judgmental fucks in this world... I'm. going to eat chicken nuggets at any age I want and you can't fucking stop me, I watch cartoons too.. deal with it you big babies
Sorry I jus really hate being told what to do
listen... you never quit eating the nuggets they are just too good okay? i better not see you dropping a single nugget you gotta eat them all.
You are never too old for chicken nuggets, i can see Dino shaped nuggets being for kids but food is food lol
Gimme the fuckin' nuggets with some honey mustard sauce.
At any age. The chicken nuggets are made with the scraps of chicken processing, it would be better never to eat them.
About the same age your dance and piano recitals should be over.
Chicken nuggets is proccessed food. we don't eat processed food in our house.
I think the moment you call yourself an adult. I agree chicken nuggets is a children´s menu.
I see no problem in eating chicken nuggets at any age.
It’s ok if you do it in McDonalds but not on a date
Never I always eat chicken nuggets am 31 years of age
You can eat anything you want at any age. Personally, I don't like them at all.
And who decided that some food is strictly for kids and nobody else? I must have missed such law going into practice.
Woman being so shallow to judge date based on their food preferences is a huge red flag.
As long as they are ordered from the menu and not brought in,
I feed those to the young slaves. Being tied to a restraining device makes a girl hungry. But me, I'm on a whole foods diet. I eat the whole chicken.
@purplepoppy Go to my profile and hit 'Follow.' I will not tell you long complicated stories of my childhood nor will I pretend to be normal when I'm actually sleezy.
Also, I'm American so I say "soccer" not "football." That's a desperate cry for help.
@bean2k21 Most people don't realize that the British actually created the word SOCCER, it's a shortened form of AsSOCiation Football.
I still eat chicken nuggets even when I still go to restaurants there’s no reason an adult can’t order that as long as it isn’t a kids meal
Tf are you talking about I still order chicken nuggets dem shits delicious 🔥😂
It never is! They are awesome well some are at different places. Hell I want some now with bbq sauce 😋
It is indeed kids food or finger food but if you like it just eat it.
No age. It's a food. If a 90 year old wants to eat chicken nuggets, nothing wrong with that.
you can eat whatever you want.
That old man there in navy blue is a murderer.
Never because you're a friggen adult and get to make the rules.
Never too old for chicken nuggets, anyone else is wrong and I stand by that
Wait who implemented that "rule"? Eat what you want for god's sake
My wife is 29 and still eats them. I don't think there is an age.
I'll get them in McDonald's as extra protein but I wouldn't get them anywhere else
55. Or 65… retirement.. you should be eating calamari by then everyday
Its food. Marketed for kids or not, anyone can eat it.
I dont think it becomes inappropiate at a certain age
What the blue fuck is a goujon? They are called chicken strips or chicken fingers haha
