Part 2 of our guest review of Spanish firm Divina Teresa's products. This time Blueberries is looking at the Provencal range of chicken style products. Read on for her thoughts on breadcrumbed fake chicken goodness and ketchup!
Hi again everyone!
This week I'm looking at the Divina Teresa Provencal range, which is a selection of chicken style products.
Provencal Sausages
I got a
bit of a surprise when I opened the package of Provençal sausages
and found that they were cocktail-sized. The packaging made them look
full-sized. The outside is a light-coloured sausage skin and the
interior is white with meaty strands. It wasn't the texture I
expected, and the taste was blander than the sausage products than I
am used to. I thought that they were a chicken-style sausage, if such
a thing exists.

Golden Nuggets
The golden
nuggets are breaded chicken-style nuggets. As we learned from my
review of the Atlantic range, I love anything covered in breadcrumbs
so I was easily won over by these nuggets. The texture and taste are
like what I remember of chicken nuggets, perfect dipped in lots of
ketchup!

Provencal Burger
A plain,
chicken-style burger with no adornments. Unfortunately I really
wasn’t very fond of these. When grilled the texture was too soft,
almost soggy. The taste was quite bland but not bad, although I
couldn’t really see far beyond the unpleasant texture. Perhaps they
would develop a better texture if grilled for longer than the 10-12
minutes suggested.

Provencal Bites
I was a
bit wary after the Provençal burgers, but I was pleasantly surprised
by these Provençal bites. I liked them more than I thought I would,
seeing as they weren’t covered in breadcrumbs. I accidentally left
them under the grill for too long but I think they benefitted from
the extra time as they developed a nice crispy top which complimented
the softer texture of the inside. I couldn’t quite get over the
fact that they looked like little croissants, but they were nice.
Like all of the Provençal products, they are not too strongly
flavoured, but definitely chicken-y. Not my favourite product from
the range, but definitely enjoyable.

Round Up
My overall
conclusion is that this range is a bit hit-and-miss. I loved the
nuggets, liked the sausages and bites and disliked the burgers.
