As a little anon these things from aldi's were my favorite

I'll share a close second place to get this thread started. Actually prefer these to the State Fair ones as I think the batter tastes more corny and traditional

A box of Softstix is a meal for one, one me that is

>>15558046
Chicken Kiev is better

Number 2 coming in, the taquito, go great when drunk as shit late at night ,watching the glow from the oven in silence, served with a slopping of ranch dressing to slobishly roll them around in....those are some of the most peaceful nights

>>15558041

And last but not least for me, the frozen WC. When you're a slave to the crave, you gotta have these.

>>15558049
Probably would be number 4 for me, based anon.

I have never bought this as an adult but it was my absolute favorite breakfast food as a kid. The filing is so tangy, savory and sweet. I remember the pastry on the outside would always burst into flakes and make a huge mess everywhere when eaten

>>15558063
I would have both

>>15558052
I remember always seeing these in my friends' freezers as a kid but I never tried it myself

>>15558041
ONE OF MY FAVORITES

>>15558041

>>15558162
>>15558041
Next time you guys make one of these, shove a stick of string cheese in there and let it melt. Great way to jazz them up.

sometimes ill destroy a nice big bag of frozen brussel sprouts with butter and salt and enjoy my stinky aftermath

I always have a bunch of these in the freezer, when I'm feeling lazy I'll make some frozen nuggets, one of these bad boys and dip both in blue cheese dressing.

>>15558083
same somehow, not a pretzel fan though

frozen food is amerilard trash
my freezer only has a bag of this in case of emergency

>>15559230
Is the ham and pineapple tesco frozen pizza for me.

>>15558041
i have 5.5 inches of hot beef for ya right here bubba

Mrs. T's pierogis

>>15558041
those are disgusting, tried it once never again, zero flavor

>>15559294
no thanks homo i'm vegan

>>15558041
I like these, I usually dump tomato sauce on top of it though

>>15558049
>chicken
So disgusting. There’s something wrong with you

these are so shitty, but they just hit the spot

>>15558046
>>15558063
And chicken parm is better than both

>>15558041
Based New Yorker

Probably the only thing I buy frozen aside from the occasional cheeky Ben & Jerry's.

I remember this being called breakfast pizza when I was a kid, either got Mandela'd or they changed it to "scramble" later. The gravy sauce is what takes this to the next level.

>>15561419
Jersey City-ite actually

Do they not eat this elsewhere?

>>15558073
You have good taste, Anon. When I was 12 my Dad got really mad at me once for eating 3 in 1 day. I don't like making my Dad angry but these were worth it.

>>15558063
these are suddenly so hard to find for me lately but incredibly based, maybe I'll try Aldi's, never shop there
>>15558052
these never turned out right for me, haven't tried in a long time
>>15558072
for me it's pic related if I could only have one freezer aisle bullshit item, I'll usually carefully open the sleeve and put extra cheese on them, put them back in, and wrap a paper towel around it and tuck it in the non open wrapper side, cook it slightly extra longer, wa lah every time
>>15560400
also based haven't had in a while

>>15562668
>for me it's pic related
more like for me it's pic retarded

the only reason to go to Checker's can now be made at home.

>>15558049
This, but the Jalapeno Cheese variety that my local grocer suddenly seems to have stopped carrying. They last forever in the freezer and it's good for an occasional lazy night with some bagged waffle fries.

I use Gorton's battered fish fillets seasoned liberally with Old Bay and and given a squirt of lemon juice when they're done cooking.

>>15562695
Air fryer or oven with a baking rack for maximum crispy, minus all the grease you get at checkers

>>15562714
>oven with a baking rack for maximum crispy
fuck. yes.

Used to be this stuff.

Never buy it anymore because the company is atrociously liberal

>college
>halo reach launches
>know the story from the books, so plan to play campaign in one sitting for maximum immersion
>pic related for sustenance and easily the best part of that experience
All they had to do was follow the damn book cj

>>15562728
That’s not a frozen food

I'm surprised pic related has not made an appearance yet

>>15558041
I love this shit.

>>15563077
>some thread last week made me get these for first time in a decade
>even in the oven predictably came out not great
I want to like them anon, I still have half the pack, I just

>>15562975

OP asked for:
>favorite from the freezer aisle

Ice cream qualifies.

>>15558041
I love the frosting on this shit

>>15559299
What do you like to add / top these with?

My mom used to get these from Sams Club shit was so cash. Haven't had them in years my by far my favorite frozen microwavable anything

>>15559299
Fucking based. I boil em and then toss in a pat of butter.

For me, its Devour

>>15558073
Loved them as a kid, bought them on a whim again and I was shocked at how small they were in my hand

>>15563077
>NOOOO, I SHOULD HAVE LET THEM COOL LONGER

>>15563531
melted butter and sauteed onions. sour cream on the side.

>>15563962
This and some kielbasa.

>>15563077
TONY YOU SKATEBOARDING FUCK, GIMMIE BACK MY BAGEL BITES!

>>15558041
They're usually expensive as hell, but every so often they'll drop down to half price at which point I'll grab half a dozen or so.

>>15563634
The ones in pic came right out of the freezer into a pan with butter and onions. I used to boil them but it's so easy to saute

>>15563531
Anything you think goes, but traditionally it's sour cream and onions. I just like onions and the butter they're cooked in.

>>15563431
No it doesn’t you fat bitch

>>15562795
>All they had to do was follow the damn book cj
While I didn't like the whole sneaky sneaky covenant bit, I liked the long term campaign timeline.

The Covenant showed up with a 300 ship fleet, it never made sense for an entire planet plus orbital assets to fall in like a day

>>15558266
They are good but my god are they salty.

>>15558070
I dunno man, looks kinda hard to eat.

>>15564359
Oh so ice cream isn't stored in the freezer?

>tfw you overcook them for a few minutes in the oven and they come out super fucking crispy and delicious.

>>15564605
this is actually my favorite frozen food

$4 for 10 filets + some frozen fries
bomb dinner

>>15562795

Stouffers lasagna is unbelievably good for a frozen product

Haven't had them in a while but they're pretty good

>>15564638
Hnnnng...same. need to try them again now that I have a proper kitchen

>>15562728
Yeah, I hate supporting the company even though I like their ice cream so while I still buy it occasionally, I get the majority of my ice cream from local ice cream shops. Ice cream shop sundaes mog ben&jerry's every time, though I will go to a ben&jerry's brick and mortar store for the brownie sundae

ummmmm nooo sweaty, guess again

>walking to the school bus stop through fresh snow while double fisting two of these bad boys
Comfy times.

>>15558052
Absolutely based and cultured. SuperPretzel is superior though. Add your own cheese. Any kind you like.

>>15558426
They're fucking loaded with suet and salt; why do you need to 'jazz them up'?
>>15559272
>frozen green beans
judging you
>>15562643
Hello Jersey Cityzen, who has the best beef patties in town?

>>15563077
I feel like these have less sauce and cheese than when I was a kid

>>15558441
This but with black pepper

>>15562714
What a dumb shit. Deep fry these mother fuckers. Your "air-fry" is just baked. Grow up

>>15559299
Those are an abomination. Go to any polish deli or bakery and get some that actually taste good.

>>15562728
B&J Netflix and Chill makes me both cum and have diabeetus.

>>15567984
I ate my share of these. They honestly sucked, bread was too "hard", but they were cheap I guess.

The Western New York hegemon strikes again.

>>15567865
>I have no idea what I'm talking about, but I'm going to act superior anyway
Grow up.

>>15564452
ditto.

>>15564360
Reach never truly fell in the books, humanity commits almighty jihad and put the fear of Allah in the covenant as they left. Cucked the covenant out of star roads too

>>15564628
Always burns tho

>>15568423
And on that note, these little bastards and their mushroom counterparts are like fucking crack to me and pretty cheap to boot in the largest boxes, when a coupon finally comes along they get down to like $2.35 a pound.

The grilled cheese sticks were kinda' meh though, way too bready and for what it is you might as well make it yourself.

>>15558041
I require a hot beef injection rn holy shit

>>15570210
I like the auntie anne ones but fresh from the store not frozen. It's too bad freezing them reduces the quality so much

>>15568001
This. The bread is dry as fuck

>>15562728
Yeah I stopped with them too because of it.
Some local things here have great ice cream.

>>15558072
This is the best freezer food I ever had.

>>15558426
Just get the beefy cheese version

>>15570684
It's the best because it's the only one that magically tastes exactly the same as the stuff you get from the restaurant

>>15570703
White castle is so good man. I am losing weight and haven't eaten it in months... Can't wait until it's time to bulk so I can chow down

>>15563531
The perogi place down the street has an amazing marinara style tomato sauce that they serve with theirs. I can buy buy Perogis frozen as well but not the stuffed cabbage rolls. Otherwise sour cream and onion.

>>15563858
I just now realized these are called devour. I always thought it was devore. Either way it's hipster shit.

>>15565484
>500 calorie breakfast for a child
How fat are you?

>>15570181
On the edge?
That's the best part.

For me, it's the humble pepperoni hot pocket
It has become a meme but it's still king of the shitty freezer foods

>>15563162
Captain igloo? That's racist.

>>15570799
I'm quite fat actually. Still good though.

Every 2 or 3 weeks I crack open one of these bad boys and watch the chris chan documentary.
Genuinely comfy. Stouffers has no right to be as good as they are.

On busy mornings when mom couldn't make breakfast I used to zap a couple of these.
Fucking delicious.

>>15558162
I've tried a few frozen beef patty brands now, I've concluded all the microwaveable ones like yours are inferior to the ones mean to be oven-baked. Of course, the microwaveable ones were flakier in crust, but simply did have any other redeeming qualities.

>>15568001
They've been on sale at my local market for $1.88 US a box for the last month. Ate so many.

>>15563858
I fucking hate packing hand made lunches to work most of the time, so these were a regular staple in my work lunch rotation pre-covid.

These are my favourite. Can't find them in any of my grocery stores in my town.

>>15558041
Honestly it's the orange chicken from Trader Joe's. It has no right being as good as it is.

>>15563858
>>15572855
These are pretty tasty and filling for a $4 lunch at work. The buffalo chicken sucks though, nothing fried should ever be microwaved, especially in a bath of cheese. The cajun pasta, chicken cordon bleu, mac & cheese w/ bacon, and the steak, potatoes & queso are all pretty decent. The chicken enchilada is just meh.

>>15558041
These are pretty tasty for a zero-effort meal.

>>15563858
these are good. it's the 3 grams of sodium for me

>>15572947
having had both the pf chang's frozen brand and the innovasian, I feel safe saying the Innovasian is superior. pf changs isn't bad, but this innovasian shit is on a different level

>>15558041
for me? its these
>inb4 onions
