I'm still confused what that has to do with eating a chicken nugget in a year.
They're saying they aren't vegetarian, so know what real chicken nuggets taste like. OP worried that people might assume they are vegetarian, and therefore might not have a good idea of what chicken nuggets taste like. That sentence is meant to avoid people assuming that.
That's my best guess anyway.
The implication is that a vegetarian may have little or no basis for comparison, but OP can speak with some authority.
They could've said they've eaten a nugget. But instead they implied that being a flexitarian equates to having eaten said nuggets or that it's so common that anyone who eats meat at all would have eaten a nugget.
It's a weird implication.

That is a really weird thing to take umbrage with.
No umbrage. Was just confused. Zero umbrage though. Umbrage.
I mean… yeah most people who eat meat have definitely had a chicken nugget in America at least. Assuming they’re from the US.
If you eat fast food often, I guess? Maybe I'm being a food snob.
I mean idk I haven’t eaten meat in ages but yeah they’re cheap and easy, and kids love them.
So far, our sample size of 3 leans against it.
