Alright... Here is the official review of the NeverSchnitzel. With pictures and all (Both of them being a testament as to just how amazingly shitty a blackberry cam can be when nothing else is around):

In the pot, after devirginization via eggs flour and the "breading":

On my plate, ready to be demolished:

The verdict:

This had great potential... If it wouldn't have been so DAMN SALTY. Just to give you a clue, I found the nutritional info -

I believe a holy shit is in order on that note. Anyways, besides the main thing that ruined the taste, it did have cool hints of barbeque, but I may have overcooked it a little bit hence the slight black spots on the breading. Oh well. Anyways, yeah if you wanna try it yourself, it's honestly exactly the same process as making any breaded chicken breast, but instead of bread crumbs, just use the bottom crumbs of your favorite snack mix (humpty dumpty, doritos etc.)

Too lazy to wait until you finish the entire bag? You can use many of these snacks to 'garnish' pretty much any soup that complements it in flavor ie. try baked chips (lays/pringles/whatever) in your chicken soup, or doritos nacho in vegetable soup.

And since it was crumbs and all that I'm sure plenty of salt fell off the pretzels, thus increasing the sodium quantity.

No way dude... junk crap has crappy nutritional values?? I'm truly in shock, like whoa

I gotta say, I do not think I would enjoy having my o-ring toasted.

thats not what I heard

 

[Shpongled]

no, what you really meant to say is "That's not what I felt!"

 

[neal]

that o-ring was well broke-in

 

[guitarguru777]

So the trick would be to cut the crubs with more flour to cut down on the sodium, or cut them with a bit more of traditional breadcrumbs, I may have to try this.

I wasn't trying to point out the obvious, but rather juxtaposing this to lets say just potato chips or pretzel snacks in terms of salt count. These bits and bites are honestly 3-fold saltier than the average junk food bag. Seriously, that's a bit fucked.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

well, if you saw in my recipe: I did say to mix it with bread crumbs

 

[Dead_Lioness]

....and yeah those 'snacks' are loaded with salt, preservatives and buncha other gross things.


Tip: Don't buy it anymo!

When I break in an o-ring, it stays broke in.

How did I miss this thread? OK, the key here is to remember the difference between "flavoring" and "main ingreedient". Remember what you're making and mix things to be harmonious, not to use them up. With all the preservatives in junk food, that bag of crushed bits will outlive both of us. So use it IN your breading, or sprinkle it lightly over a caserole or homemade mac-n-cheese (and once you've made it from scratch, "Kraft" becomes profanity), or something like that. Oooo! You know, you could even use it as SOME of the breading in meatballs or meatloaf. Truly, the possibilities are endless.
