Meat nuggets

We bought these Garrett county "Chicken Bites" dinosaur shaped nuggets in an effort to introduce more meat into Ellie's diet. I thought the nugget would be the "gateway" meat- enticing her to eat some grilled chicken perhaps someday.

Our past attempts had been met with resistance- she told us in no uncertain terms that she likes chickens and that she had no interest in eating them. When you think about it, that makes sense. We don't call ham "pigs" or ground beef "ground pigs". So we thought we'd trick her into eating chicken by calling them meat nuggets. Plus they are dinosaur shaped! What fun, right?

No go. Although she enjoyed dipping them in ketchup, she didn't actually want to then eat the dipped nugget. She may have taken a bite, but then spit it out.

They actually were pretty tasty. Not greasy like a McNugget, it has a drier coating on it. I could snack on these with some barbeque sauce and be pretty happy. The downside is that there is 18g of fat per serving (4 nuggets), which I thought was a lot. All in all I would recommend.
