Turkey Twizzlers

[Describe]

I miss these so much. I had them so frequently as a child too, they were definitely one of my favourite foods. I'll never forgive Jamie Oliver for helping to abolish them.

Did anybody else enjoy these? God bless the Turkey Twizzler.

I really couldn't care what was in them or how they were made, they were absolutely delicious. I take the same view with KFC & McDonalds and such!

[lawrawrrr]

Same when i'm buying my own food! Ignorance is bliss! I wonder what they taste like... can you still buy them?

Bernard Matthews discontinued the brand in 2005 when Jamie Olivier criticized them on his TV programme.

I don't rate frozen chicken nuggets or fish fingers but McNuggets are delicious!

I didn't actually notice they were discontinued until a few years later. Surely there is something on the market currently that is worse than Turkey Twizzlers.

They were discontinued? Who, what, where, when?!

They were made of recovered turkey meat and provides the same amino acids as normal turkey breast. Apparently corn beef is no more nutritious yet several brands sell it and you might even find them at schools.

Recovered poultry has never had good media reception though, popcorn chicken and other KFC products for example.

it was like the only thing I ever made sure I got seconds of at primary school :D
