Golden Meatless Nuggets:
Two Thumbs Down

My 5-year-old granddaughter [Joan Robinson Palmer] is a vegetarian. We thought we'd give her a real treat tonight by serving her Zoglo's Golden Meatless Nuggets [which are designed to look a bit like Chicken McNuggets]. She tried one dipped in honey and another dipped in plum sauce and then announced that she didn't really like them. I tried them and concur. In fact, we agreed they would detract from any soup we might put them in, so we threw them away.
