free as a bird

Have you tried the chicken nuggets by Freebird? Really I despise the idea of chicken nuggets, I do. But when you have little ones in the house sometimes, once in a while, you have to compromise your food ideals. Generally we eat pretty real food around here, not magic food, as a dear friend once called it (C soup casseroles, etc.). When we eat it, it looks like and tastes like the real thing - only enhanced with spice and the Maillard reaction.

The Freebird chicken nuggets do have an honest chicken breast flavor which if you've tried any other nuggets recently you'll know is not a given. And the best part is that there is no magic in the flavor. No chicken flavor, like Mickey D's adds to their disgusting McFrankenNuggets. Seriously, what in the world is all that stuff? And they don't even write the ingredients of the stuff that they spray on the nuggets to make them stay edible in their freezers. Yikes. This is not intended to be an indictment of McDonald's. Just don't let them fool you with their commericals where they pretend to care about the produce. Again, I digress.

If you have a clientele for nuggets in your house, look out for these. They seem to be a guilt-free compromise between what the kids want and what you desire for them to eat.
