Those nuggets from Applegate Farms certainly weren't the worst thing in the world, but each one was more air and less chicken than I could have known.

Applegate Farms的那些鸡块肯定不是世界上最难吃的东西，但对我来说每一块都松得不像鸡肉。

After this experience, I talked with Chris Ely, one of Applegate's founders.

事后我和Applegate的创始人之一克里斯？？伊利（Chris Ely）进行了交谈。

Mr Fereday notes that Hormel, the 124-year-old maker of Spam, recognised these trends when it bought Applegate Farms, a natural and organic meat business, this year.

费里迪指出，世棒（Spam）午餐肉的制造商，创立124年的荷美尔（Hormel）已经认识到这一趋势，该公司今年收购了天然有机肉类企业阿普尔盖特农场（Applegate Farms）。

After about two weeks, the Applegate nuggets, which I'd placed in a Ziploc bag left slightly open, had essentially liquefied, with the outlines of the individual chicken pieces no longer visible.

我把这些Applegate鸡块用Ziploc塑料袋封起来，留了一丝缝隙。约两周后，鸡块基本上都液化了，已经看不到单个鸡块的轮廓。

He couldn't find our usual brand of Bell& Evans breaded, frozen chicken tenders ─ I like their thick, meaty texture, which makes them seem a bit closer to the real thing ─ and instead got Applegate Farms Organic Chicken Strips.

他没找到我们常吃的Bell&Evans牌冷冻裹粉鸡柳——我喜欢这种鸡柳厚实质密的口感，吃起来更接近真的鸡肉——而是买了Applegate Farms牌有机鸡柳。

The Applegate strips that dissolved after two weeks had no such additives and were billed on the box as 'all natural.'

两周后分解的Applegate鸡柳不含这些添加剂，所以包装盒上写的是纯天然。

Bell& Evans tenders, sold raw, are subjected to one quick frying to set the breading, instead of Applegate's complete oven cooking. There's no extruder.

Bell&Evans的鸡块是生的，只经过快速油炸来完成裹粉，而不像Applegate一样用烤箱烤熟，而且也不用挤压机。
