Birds Eye Vegetable Fingers

Before i stopped eating meat - i used to LOVE eating oven baked goodies like fish fingers, chicken nuggets, potato gems, potato chips, all those sorts of things. I remember back in high school, i would come home at 3 and put all these things under the grill and keep an eye on them, my two younger sisters would wait eagerly with their plate of tomato and BBQ sauce, waiting to dig in.

I miss fish fingers & chicken nuggets, so when i saw these at Coles supermarket - i had to buy them to try, hoping they would be like the real deal fish fingers i used to eat (alot) hehe.

One thursday night, i chucked a whole box of these under the grill, along with two handfuls of potato gems. Richard & I, armed with mayonnaise and ketchup, excitedly waiting for them to turn golden brown so we can eat (and watch UnderBelly heehee).

They look like fish fingers, with their bread crummy outsides, and inside, hot vegie mush consisting of peas carrots & potato. I much prefer these, as there was no fishy smell or taste. Oven baked (instead of frying) means there is less calories, and they didn't take too long at all. Only about 15 minutes under the grill (turning them over at half time).

These were great i just LOVE anything rolled in breadcrumbs and then grilled/fried. I wish junk food didn't have the high calorie price tag attached to them, i wish healthy food could taste as good as things like this.
