banquet dollar tv dinners

or that one kid meal that had a brownie in it

I would eat about 8 of them in a day

>pic unrelated
I was gonna tell you you have shit taste until I read that.
Honestly? Marie Callender pot pies. They're quite possibly the only frozen food that's decent. I've never had their frozen dinners, but their pot pies are rather good. They're the only convenience food I buy. You should buy them, too.

I don't eat a lot of frozen food but Amy's burritos are pretty good.

When I was a kid I liked those Jose Ole taquitos. God knows what's in em.

>>5073558
Kid cuisine?

ice cream :3

i love chicken taquitos

The Michelina frozen entrees. Specifically the creamy alfredo sauced noodle varieties. They are very, very good. And quite cheap, as well.

Discontinued.

There used to be a beef version too, in a blue box.

This shit is fucking disgusting man...Having been reared on those for a few years, I can say that for truth. I learned to cook so that I wouldn't have to eat that shit.

>>5073558
>banquet dollar dinners

Are you for serious? The frozen dinners where the ONLY goal of the manufacturer is to cut all corners in order to hit that $1 price point?

I mean, there's a lot that can be said about Banquet, but "tasty" isn't usually one of them.

trader joes sells these things. they are really good

I fucking love these with a bunch of instant mashed potatoes

Trader Joe's makes the best variety and selection though for frozen foods

Some of the Stouffer's stuff is pretty decent. I like their lasagna.

Boston Market meat loaf is a good nom in a pinch too.

damn near anything frozen from trader joes is delicious.

They sell frozen dry cat food?

>>5073546
How long do you have to cook this in an oven? Do you have to defrost it?

>>5073749
Trader Joes sucks dick. Pretentious and overpriced. Any TJ I've ever been to has a shit produce section.

>>5073793
you never defrost frozen meals

>>5073801
trader joes is cheaper than regular grocery stores and you aren't supposed to buy the produce there

>>5073801

I went to one for the first time about a week ago. They were competitive with Publix on many things. Their eggs were actually a full $0.30 cheaper per dozen.

>>5073818
Is it a microwave meal?

>>5073868
probably both

most frozen things give you the option of microwave or oven with oven being the preferred option

>>5073546
I dunno about best, but those cheap ass fuck taco picante frozen burritos at Wal-Mart aren't bad. Especially for the price... 8 burritos for $3? Count me the fuck in. I usually add cheese and guacamole or sour cream to them.

>>5073546
Venison

lol

Sometime I use oncor ribs to make my own version of mcribs, they are pretty filling and you can make 6 for pretty cheap. I think hungry man also makes a version of ribs too, but these are slightly less saltly and don't come with the salt mashed potato side.

>>5073923
eating like 4 eggs will do that to you nutrition label

Had some frozen meat pies that were delicious, but they were from a specialty meat store so I don't know if that counts... Fucking delicious though.

>>5073928
I sure hope you are filled by eating 6 of those things, fatty.

>>5073892
That's fucking disgusting. I thought this was a troll threadf I can't believe people would microwave a breakfast like that. I would actually throw up if I was served one. Surely it is just a doggy mess?

>>5073932

man I just can't stomach cheese and BBQ sauce together

>>5073949
don't knock it till you try it

>>5073954
I took the cheese off because it wasn't in harmony with the other flavors

>>5073961
That is fair comment as i havent tasted one but I can't imagine any frozen breakfast tasting nicer than a freshly cooked one
Are defrosted and reheated American pancakes nice?(genuine question)

>>5073985
I've never froze pancakes but fresh is always better and home made is always better than store bought

I've been freezing cupcakes and defrosting them and they come out pretty good so I can imagine pancakes being OK as long as they don't get freezer burn

>>5073985
I sometimes make a big batch of pancakes and freeze most of them. I just pop them in the toaster later in the week and they're almost, but not quite, as good as fresh ones.

>>5073923
Holy shit. Holy holy HOLY shit. 64 grams of fat, 2,090 milligrams of sodium, and enough cholesterol to kill anything that's ever lived. The 'justification' is that you're supposed to eat shitty food in the morning, as it supplies you with a suitable amount of energy to get through the day. Unfortunately, Swanson's supplying you with enough 'energy' to get through a week, and even if the only other thing you ate after this breakfast was oxygen, there's still a relatively high chance that your ass will grow hands and tie your intestines in knots to prevent this shit from ever passing through. Really, really awful stuff.

>>5073793
usually like 45 mins in a oven 5-6 in micowave

>>5074033
>Swanson's supplying you with enough 'energy' to get through a week

It's less than half the daily calorie intake of an average adult male.

>>5074066
>231% of your daily need of cholesterol

>>5073730
if you're shopping at trader joes and not eating these you are missing out big time

>>5073818
Thank you. Only faggots and lazy motherfuckers buy meat and produce from TJ's. I go there only for frozen dinners, sauces, cheese,snacks, and milf. If you actually plan on cooking something not in the microwave, go elsewhere.

>>5073928

I like how it lists BBQ sauce as the main ingredient.

>>5073546
mmmmm anon try this if you're in canada

>>5074118
They sell milfs?

>>5074069

It's got as much cholesterol in it as about 3.5 eggs. I'm not saying it's not excessive for one meal, but I think a lot of you guys don't realize how excessive normal restaurant meals are.

>>5074118
well put

honorable mention to the herb pizza dough for a buck and the french bread

>>5074125
the milf is free or at least no more expensive than a few drinks if you got dat cock game.

>>5074183
never had the pizza dough
>tfw to scared to relight my gas oven
>tfw landlord hasn't sent anyone to fix it
>tfw bro mexican repairman hasn't been seen for months and the new ones can't fucking understand me and won't come inside for me to show them whats wrong

my microwave is my oven.

California Pizza Kitchens frozen stuff is pretty good, not as good as it is if you get it fresh obviously, but still damn good.

>>5074258
>implying California Pizza Kitchen is good fresh

pretty good with a little extra cheese

>>5073563
hell yeah Amy's. for 60-some cents, those things are FAR, far out of their price range in terms of the price to flavor ratio.

Probably these, they are better than most cheap pizzerias can make. Fuck i havent had these in months i really need to buy one once the shops open.

With guacamole.

bosco sticks are the greatest frozen food ever

frozen PF changs is decent if you can get them on sale. They all basically taste the same, but they do in a pinch.

>Aldi's frozen pizzas and breaded chicken
The worst food to exist.

these bad boys

>>5073749

Good times

Farmfoods use to sell a chilli corn carne but I think it stopped production. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it?

Was my best childhood food memory

>>5073911
That's the blandest shit I've ever eaten.

>>5074593
good joke

>>5075011
So many burns and blisters from stoned nights biting into a lava inferno

truly the food of the gods.

i miss you homie, and wish they would bring you, and your 1500% of RDA of sodium back.

>>5073546
Alaskan King Crab, obviously.

>>5075637
the new spicy fried chicken is delicious

>>5075641
this and omaha steak products if you have money to burn

>>5073562
AW YISS

MOTHA FUCKIN MARIE CALLENDER'S POT PIES

>>5075636
>biting into a lava inferno.

I like the lean cuisines that have chicken and vegetables with noodles or rice. The Asian-style ones are always good.

>>5075011
Always had those or shared a pizza at my friend's /tg/ night during high school, good memories....

Bagel bites.

>>5076090
Put one in mouth.
Bite down.
Tilt head back, open mouth.
Try to blow the heat out.
Cover keyboard in crumbs and sauce.

>>5076117
>>5076117
Me eating anything hot ever.
>open mouth to blow out the heat
>food fucking everywhere

>>5073985
I fucking love Aunt Jemima/Pillsbury/whatever frozen pancakes

Frozen pizza usually taste the best. Im not talking about anything over 1.50, those 99 cent Pizzas with little pepperoni sprinkles on it. Those are pretty good for some weird reason.

>>5075011
Fine i agree, as of now I declare this the winner.

>>5075011
Fucking gross
Especially the pepperoni ones

How has no one mentioned this delicious treat once a week?

>sodium intake for the day

>>5076230
even velveeta macaroni is better than that shit

kinda expensive at three bucks a bag but quite nice for days when I'm not in the mood for some actual cooking

>>5074593
the sauce on digiorno pizza is so bad it makes me nauseous

This motherfuckers.
Also Perdue buffalo wings

tastes even better when it's on sale

Bertolli is bruddy gud

bow.

>>5079637
>>5079656
that looks absolutely disgusting

>>5079665

in both cases looks are deceiving

oetker pasta pizza is god tier, and m&m meatshop is about as good as frozen lasagna gets

>>5074568
>Amy's burritos
>60 cents
where the hell are you buying them at? theyre usually 150 even if you bulk buy.

>>5074210
>>cock

totinos pizza rolls

>tfw dipping them into marinara laced with a little hot sauce

>>5073730
Just bought one for tomorrow. Thanks for the rec. Also got pic related which is excellent.

>>5076235

Youre fucking out of your mind.

>>5076230

This shit is amazing. What I like to do is nuke it so the edges are all crusty/chrunchy... I eat that, then put it back in, nuke it again, repeat... I love it when it comes out like it was incinerated... I can eat this shit all day

A Frozen Food thread stays on page 1 for a week straight. Meanwhile, every real cooking thread dies with a smattering of responses. /ck/ is dead, like most all of 4chan. My childhood is over...

Love the hungry man dinners when im drunk and its like 3am

the boston market turkey dinners are good

>>5077526

Eating half a bag of those was the best brunch for me to make. This /thread.

>>5073562
>>5073562

Ling Ling chicken potstickers.

10 bucks a bag, 50 potstickers, and they come with 3 packets of sauce.

I used to just boil them, but the trick is to boil them, then toss them in a hot pan with butter + the soy/teriaki sauce it comes with. I used to be able to eat like 25 in a single sitting.

>>5073558
there is like, no food in those things. I always end up making 2 and a couple hours later i'm hungry again.

>>5074593
>not cheese stuffed crust
nigger what are you doing.

>>5079643
isn't bertolli the fancy 'fresh' pasta stuff right next to the goat cheeses and delimeats in the super market? It's like 7~8 bucks for a pound of raviollis and 5 bucks for a little 12 oz cup of sauce but holy shit is that stuff good.

Those Stouffers spinach souffle's aren't too bad, pair them with some Salisbury steaks and a bottle of JB, now we're talking fine dining!
