Advantages: Quick and filling snack Disadvantages: They don't repel vampires!
...reading the packaging containing the McCain Pizza Fingers that we realised they contained no garlic, plenty of additives and preservatives but no vampire thwarting garlic. Robert assured me that ham and cheese pizza was just as effective as a whole necklace of garlic bulbs and as he hadn’t eaten for oh maybe 7 minutes and was hungry we decided to cook them. He was also concerned that as they had been out of the freezer for 2 minutes while I was deliberating ... ...the same as all other McCain pizza toppings – pretty bland. I asked his opinion and after half an hour of gobbledygook concerning whether he thought the characters in DragonballZ and if penguins would eat them or not, I was informed that 'they are really nice and cheesey with a nice tomatoeyness. The nice base is crispy and the nice ham is in nice little pieces’. Nice!!

...2 love pizza I noticed McCain have brought out some pizza fingers, great I thought, easy especially since they wouldn’t need cutting, and no fighting over who got the biggest piece. Good old finger food. No dirty knifes and forks…anything for an easy life.
These come in a red box with the trademark McCain’s logo in the corner with the name of the product made up of pizza fingers splashed across the front, On the right hand side they have a lovely ... ...and peas. Sounds and looks good at the minute. On the back of the box there is a single finger pictured in the middle with arrows explaining the product. E.G. light crispy base, real melted cheese, and Tasty tomato sauce with flavour right to the edge. There are 10 fingers in a pack, great 5 each no arguing. Plus on offer at Morisson’s for £1.29 plus get a bag of wedges free, what more could a mother ask.
So I’ve read the instructions:

Advantages: Price, nice base Disadvantages: Burn easily, bland taste, too small
McCain Pizza Fingers, these cost £1.74 at my local supermarket. What arrives in the box is ten so-called “fingers” of pizza, each slice no bigger than two human fingers’ width and a finger’s length. The weight is 300g, similar to the weight of an eight-inch (diameter) pizza.
The box is bright red with the distinctive McCain logo in white lettering on a black background with a yellow outline. A blue corner of the packaging tells the reader that they ... ...little too late in terms of advantages and I will not be buying these ever again: this is the worst “pizza” I have ever bought! Not recommended at all.

Advantages: Quick to cook Disadvantages: Boring to look at
...I am talking about is McCain Cheese and Tomato Pizza Fingers. Now I have tried their products before and found them very nice so had no problem popping them in my trolly.
Packaging:
As I said the box (oblong not round), is bright red with the words Pizza Fingers in large yellow letters. The words have little hands at the end, I guess this would attract the younger customer. On the front is a picture of a finger with some fish and chips and the ... ...side you will find the McCain Quality Guarantee. If you have any feedback you can call the customer careline on 0800 146 573 or email them at customercare@mccain.co.uk.

All in all I thought a nice bright box, easy to find at a glance and would appeal to a new customer.

Advantages: Very quick to cook Disadvantages: Can burn in a second
...so when I first saw Mccain Pizza fingers I thought they would be great for him as he is only 4 years old.
You get 10 pizza fingers in a box and as far as I know they only come in two flavours, Cheese and Tomato and Ham and Tomato.
The fingers themselves are around 4 inches long and 1 inch wide perfect for little fingers.
I paid 1 pound and 62p ( pound key not working) at my local Asda supermarket , which to me doesn't seem to bad because if you ... ...you have cooked it you usually end up wasting some but with pizza fingers you can have several meals and not waste any at all.
THE PACKAGE
The Pizza comes in 300g rectangular box which is bright red in colour and the writing is in yellow which I presume is supposed to represent the colours of pizza ( Tomato and cheese).
The box clearly states what the product is how many you get and also a picture of a pizza finger
INGREDIENTS

Advantages: fairly thick, cheap, often on offer Disadvantages: they dont have any pizza taste
I didnt even know these existed until I saw them on offer. Getting 10 in a pack, and seeing it was BOGOF I bought two packs for £2. The usual price is just over £1 a box which really is expensive for what you get.
As with food like this, the idea is to oven/grill it, but I chose to microwave them, doing this meant they were done within 5 mins, but it also means the cheese burns very fast.
The fingers themselves are fairly big, and would be great ... ...to pizza is fairly slight.
They taste more like cheese and hot tomato, on bread. They smell like soggy bread with plastic cheese and ketchup on, and the dough the breads made of either stays too soft and spongy, or goes hard and unchewable. Not bad, but not pizza. The topping slides off very easily, so if anything happens in the oven its possible to get a slice of bread, and some topping totally off on the dish!!
They are nice if you want to try ...

Advantages: Quick & easy to cook, taste delicious Disadvantages: Burn rather easily if not careful
...The thing is, with McCain pizzas being so easy to buy (nearly every supermarket I've ever been in sells them), why bother making them? There's a huge range to pick from too.
One of the best in my opinion are the McCain Cheese & Tomato Pizza Fingers. Plain, but quite simply irresistable in every way.
I'll start with the price. Most supermarkets sell them for just a little over £2 for 10. Thats 20p each scrummy finger, you can't even buy a packet ... ...20p each not bad, but are they tiny or something?" I admit their not huge, about 10cm long and 3cm wide, but if you ate all ten, you'd be stuffed alright and for £2!! They are great for sharing too, you can still have 5 each and have chips or salad too.
Now on to the cooking. You get them out of your freezer (or your carrier bag if you've only just bought them!), open the box, place them on a baking tray and cook in the oven for a very short 10-12 ...

These are great with a great tasting tomato sauce but the base tastes like cardbord and when you cook them they have turned to charcoal before the middle is cooked!
The cooking instructions state that they can be cooked under the grill on a medium heat for 8-10 mins or in the oven for 8-12 mins on a 180 degrees. Although as i stated above this will result in them being over cooked so adjust the times down.
They come is a box of 10 which weighs ... ...a red colour with a picture of a very nice looking pizza slice (don't know how they got it like that!) labelling different parts of the pizza like FLAVOURED RIGHT TO THE EDGE, TASTY TOMATO SAUCE, REAL, MELTED CHEESE and LIGHT CRISPY BASE to emphasise the features.
It says in the top corner of the packaging cook from frozen in 10 minutes, it would be shriveled and like charcoal by then!!!

Id never tried Mccain pizza before i usually stick to goodfellas or a pizza hut classic. I was in a rush and a microwave curry didnt seem like a good idea before going out , there was nothing else so mccain pizza fingers it was.
They take about 8-10 mins in an oven although i found that 8mins was enough. i took them out of the oven and they looked like some sort of plastic toy food. They smelt like cheese if you put it in the microwave a ... ...to get ready though i had to eat them. . . . . .. I wish i hadnt.
I swallowed my first mouthful and it was awful. They had no flavour and the after taste was rancid. It was like that taste you get in the morning after a long night out. I didnt even finish the rest. The funny thing was i put it in the dogs bowl and the dog didnt even touch it.
These cost £ 1.98 from our local londis store for 300g. Each finger is about two inches by six inches and ...

...their name of course is mcCain pizza fingers. I think they only come in one flavour which is cheese and tomato, they are about three inches long and about an inch thick. They have a really nice thick base which stays crispy which ever way you cook them. You can either oven bake them or grill, either way they only take about 15 mins. so far my son has eaten his way through about 5 boxes and he is still keen for them! The only thing i would say is ...

These Mccain pizza fingers make a great meal for your kids, serve them up with chips and a side salad or whatever you prefere and I can guarantee that your kids will clear their plates. (well my kids do anyway).
Mccains pizza fingers come in a box of 10 fingers, they are soft pizza bases with a soft tomato and cheese topping, they dont take long to cook, just pop them into your oven and they are ready in no time. I think that they are great for ... ...the moment, although that is the trial price and the normal price will be around the 1.75 mark, which I would still say is not bad when you can get a meal for two from one box.
They could also do for a quick snack or lunch, they are great for kids and adults alike.
I would recommend that you add these to your shopping trolley as I dont think that you will be disapointed at the quantity or quality of this product. ...

Advantages: Quick, Easy Food Disadvantages: Taste Like Cheap Tat, Are Cheap Tat
...Hull now changed to just McCain foods GB Hull. They spent a hell of a lot of money on this over elaborate machine that was designed to feed complete slabs of pizza through 12 high speed spinning circular blades, which basically just cut the slab of pizza into fingers and trimmed off the 2 ends. This machine was a nightmare it kept jamming every 5 mins always leaving the ends on or cutting the slabs at odd angles and constantly breaking blades, so ... ...machine off to the main McCain site in Grantham and I haven't heard much about it since so I think its still operating there unless they scrapped that machine and tried again with a different 1 because production was quite slow we had to practically re invent the operating procedures in order to get a decent level of production.
One more thing is the smell, the smell was ok when the fingers were frozen but because we was in the slightly refrigerated ...
