Product Review: Ian's Mini Chicken Patty Sandwiches


Ian's Mini Chicken Patty Sandwiches
Kidz Rating: D
Momz Rating: B














These were listed in my Feingold manual as acceptable for stage 1, so I bought them for Nature Kidz' dinner for a night when Nature Parentz wanted to eat something other than pizza or burritos (Kidz faves).  They look pretty darn kid-friendly.  They're about the size of a 4-year-old's palm, and we all know that for kids, especially girls (and most especially Nature Girlz in my house), cute rules.

They come in a 4-pack and cost about $5.  Ian's makes a good variety of kid-oriented foods geared toward children with allergies and parents who want a natural alternative to McYuckets.  Two of them can be cooked in the microwave for 90 seconds.

I tried one, and the bread was dense but soft, and the chicken patty had a pretty generic, mild taste. I thought for sure it would go over well with the Kidz.

Nature Girl #1, the "good eater", took one bite, made a sour face, and said, with her best attempt at Not Being Rude, "um, I don't like it."  She rated it a D. Nature Girl #2, my picky eater, didn't care for the bun but ate the entire chicken patty without a hint of a complaint.  She rated it just average.   The mere fact that she ate it without complaining makes it a winning choice for me.  But if both Girlz don't like it, it can't cross my threshold.  Mama'z not making 2 Nature Kidz meals in one night!

Overall, I think that they're a great choice for preschoolers and young kids who haven't gotten their tastes so much set yet--you know, the McYuckets virgins.
