Whats the best Frozen dinner, and why is it Hungry Man? Best portions and price

[Anonymous No.12738060]

havent had one for like 20 years but the hungry man whipped potato and the hungry man corn were seriously the best versions of the sides i've ever had, bar none
they captured something with them. it's probably shit now, but i'm telling you this isn't nostalgia. you cant get whipped potatoes like that anywhere

i wish the meals were better than just being the lazy man's option.
like you know you're a fucking lazy cunt when you'd rather throw a $6 frozen mac n cheese in the microwave for 4 minutes instead of just making a box of mac n cheese in 10min for $1 instead.

i guess I just wish frozen meals were cheaper, still just seems ridiculous when I can get a good cut of meat for $2 or $3 and cook up some veggies and still have the home cooked version turn out cheaper, if only taking an extra 5 minutes to cook.

plus they never look like the box.

I unironically live on Lean cuisine and Stouffers frozen meals. I'm autistic about being healthy and having the exact calories for a meal on the box lets me easily calculate it. Not to mention it's better than any shitty health food or any fast food I have had. $1.40 per meal when bought in bulk. I also occasionally go for Bob Evans frozen cream chipped beef but that one is hit or miss. Never heats evenly despite stirring and sometimes the gravy is more gray than white which is nasty.

Sometimes both is best, so use the microwave to defrost then put the stuff in a pan or pot or skillet to finish it. It's the same way to reheat some pizza, microwave for like 20-30 seconds to defrost then it goes into a skillet. That's the best of both worlds, that way it's not soggy and it gets a nice crispy crust on the bottom.

Yes, Godly.
Even after left to cool in the open for a couple hours after nuking, the breading remains a perfect balance of crunchy and spongy, 'genius-level-brain-gray-matter/cortex' wrinkly intricate membrane of a fried mixture of flour, batter, oils and spices.
Fast food points: 10/10

This level of poultry preparation and seasoning makes the sacrifice at the altar of the Gods of Flavor almost seem worth it in the grand scheme of aesthetic designs and reverberations

Like a microwave meister, I nuke the El Monterey sleeveless-reheat-system frozen BEEF & BEAN CHIMICHANGAS on my smallest plate as to ensure minimal heat transfer between the reheated food item and the ceramic carrier/container it's sitting on. I let it cool off for 5 minutes before taking a bite

The chimichanga is an experience of thermal interplay as much as one of flavor, with consecutive bites presenting you with reasonably warm, to piping hot, to lukewarm-cold volumes of the pastry filling paste (itself flavored with subtle (bland) bean-mildness and subtler (blander) bacon-spicy-bite.

Hungry mans cost 5 bucks here. A value meal at McNiggers also costs 5 dollars. When you lose to fast food, you've failed as a TV dinner company.

Just had the CHICKEN, BEAN AND RICE CHIMICHANGAS and by God these people are pulling off Mozart level of thermal sequencing with the sleeveless-reheat. Did this triple-staple-mixture chimichanga on a 5/3 times bigger plate and let it cool for 3 minutes to the 5 I let the double-staple one cool.

Microwavable food has sure come a long way in the last couple of years.

that's four bucks Canadian. Generally, for me it's the opposite. It goes like this: Home cooked > Restaurant food > Fast food > Microwaved food in terms of quality. Maybe you're paying for convenience when you buy TV dinners, but the McDicks is like 5 minutes from my fucking house so WGAS.

Y might GAS when the disinterested wagies at the drive through get your order fucked up (e.g. no nuts on the caramel sundae) or straight up wrong (e.g. putting a mcchicken in the bag instead of the sausage, egg and cheese mcgriddles you ordered). Neet GMIs must swallow the nuka-pill sooner or later until UBI kicks in.

These are actually great. I buy frozen food when it is 'expired' because it's like a dollar, and if you use an oven instead of the microwave it actually turns out pretty good.

These really are restaurant quality. Problem is you pay restaurant prices for them, just about.

I had this on my lunch break (it's literally only 4 bucks) but goddamn it was so good and the chicken inside was crispy 10/10
