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.

    Here’s my controversial parmi take.

    No, dad, the chicken parmi here isn’t “too dry”. Chicken parmi is always dry. It’s a terrible, dry food that has to be slathered in sauce to even be edible.

    It’s a conclusion I reached after watching countless times where someone would order the chicken parma and go on to complain that it’s too dry. If one restaurant’s parma is too dry, they did a bad job. If every pub does parma that’s too dry, that’s the dish’s fault.
