John Soules Foods Fully Cooked Nuggets

Frankly these are not bad, although I'd never pick chicken nuggets over any other options like burger, hot dog, noodle, salad, etc, a lot of that prejudice probably comes from being a kid and not knowing I was allergic to soy and eating nuggets that made me feel bad inside. These are soy free, but they basically taste like they aren't, which is good and bad I guess. Very processed, and you can microwave them, which is chill. Occasionally there are unchewable little firm bits, which skeeves me out. In the oven, they take much longer, and I'm not sure the payoff is worth it -- they are marginally crispier (but still not at all crispy lol) and drier, which is slightly preferable, so if you aren't in a rush I guess go far it. But it isn't a shocking difference or anything.

Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 6/10

John Soules Foods - Steak Fajitas

These were literally the only non-raw beef strips at my whole grocery store! Fajita flavor wasn't what I wanted, but the flavor wasn't too overpowering, so that was OK. And there's no soy/legume protein in these, so that's a good sign. But otherwise, these didn't really impress me -- they were easy to heat up on the stove and all, but they were also chewy, which was not great. One piece was all gristle. The taste was OK so I'd get these again if I were in a similar situation (in a rush for cooked steak strips), but if another option shows up I'd probably try that instead first.

Overall
Cost: 5/10 [5.99]
