Review

It's time for the slightly disappointing sequel to the first post, not quite as disappointing as Back To The Future 2 but certainly not up there with Spiderman 2.

These chicken nuggets are part of Aldi's 'Rooster's' range, which is effectively similar tasting chicken, but in different shapes and sizes. Talking of sizes, these are a lot chunkier than their rivals, which is quite refreshing, if you're after a big dipper, I suggest these as a budget option. 

Now, how are they so thick? I hear you ask. Well, give these bad boys a squeeze and you will see the copious amount of grease. If you put a pack of these nuggets into one of those orange juicers, you'd get about 3 glasses of pure delicious grease. Which you can drink straight from the glass, or wipe on your skin to cure your acne as some form of homoeopathy. Maybe this is just the moisture from the chicken, but it definitely looks like grease.

Still, even with the 'grease', they still taste pretty good, there's an addition of rosemary and garlic which gives the nugget an actual distinctive flavour. Give them a try. It's only £1.50 and if you don't like them you can squeeze the grease out of the rest and fuel your car.

Review

LA Diner chicken nuggets will play host to the opening soiree of this revolutionary chicken nuggets blog. Bought from Farmfoods; the home of processed frozen meals, these were purchased at a price that made me wonder why people are starving in the world. 

The packet says '100% chicken breast', but the innards of these beauties don't look, smell, taste, feel or sound like 100% chicken breast. It might be chicken breast but the amount of actual chicken in these 'chicken nuggets' is a marginal 50%; the rest taken up by the obvious breadcrumbs and coating adhesive (water, butter, flour), and then a list of diphosphates, triphosphates, dioxyribonucleic acidic breadcrumb enhancing methyloxylates or whatever, basically shite. 

They actually taste quite nice. I had mine with my dip of choice; ketchup. They're rather small, and quite thin in size, but they fit nicely in breads, so I forgive them. Naturally being a processed nugget, you do not get that taste of pure chicken breast, which is always disappointing. The structure is rather firm, if you have a phobia of your nuggets falling apart then do not fret because you could throw these at people from the sunroof of a car (See here) and they would not break, failing they do not cause concussion.
