Hi there! Excuse me; I was just eating some chicken nuggets.

A lot of restaurants sell fried chicken nuggets… it's a very popular food!
很多餐廳都有賣雞塊。

But these days, lots of people don't want to eat meat. So one fried chicken restaurant tried something different. They made special chicken nuggets.
現在有很多人不吃肉，所以有炸雞餐廳做了特別的雞塊。

They took the chicken out of the nuggets. What?! That's right. They made chicken nuggets without chicken. Instead, they used plant-based ingredients. I think it's like tofu. But, I don't know if it is tofu for sure, because the chicken restaurant keeps the exact ingredients secret. They just say the nuggets are made from plants, and not animals.
這個餐廳不用雞肉，而是用植物類的食材來做雞塊。

People who ate the nuggets said they tasted similar to regular chicken nuggets. They also said they were similar to regular nuggets in texture.
大家說這種雞塊的口感跟味道跟一般的雞塊差不多。

But this was only a trial. The restaurant wanted to see if people like them. Maybe they will try it again sometime. Maybe other restaurants will try this, too.
餐廳還在測試，看看大家喜不喜歡吃，之後其他餐廳也有可能也會賣這種雞塊。

Would you eat plant-based chicken nuggets? I think I might. They say the flavor is close to real chicken nuggets. 你會想吃用植物做的雞塊嗎？

I think it might be a good idea. What do you think?
也許是個好主意，你認為呢？
