Frozen Dinner PSA

[HALLETT BOY]

So I’m at my local store yesterday , kinda hungry, but didn’t feel like preparing anything . The picture of the food caught my eye , too bad I didn’t have my reading glasses with me , these “ Salisbury Steaks “ are made with some beef , chicken and pork ! And there are no grill marks on the meat . They were inedible . Lesson learned , bring your glasses and do not eat TV dinners !

wheres the pic of the finished product?

Worse than hospital cafeteria food......

I wouldn't have needed glasses to make that PSA.

Pretty sure @Wheeler lives on these things.

Those tv dinners haven't improved a whole hell of a lot since the '60s.
Probably was the beginning of when the sitdown at the family dinner table began its demise.

At 18 grams of fat per cow pie x 3 won’t be for long.

Those were steak dinners when the wife and I were newly married.

Cook them with a bunch of onions... Mmmmmmmm

 

[JBZ]

At least they are made in the USA

 

[coolchange]

Loved those

Salt, pepper is all they needed. Perfect with fries from the oil fryer and cottage cheese. Only time I ate cottage cheese. Someone needs to bring them back.

 

[hallett21]

I’d rather not eat lol

As I typed this, I remembered I listened to Joe Rogan and he had Will Harris form White oak pastures on, he said meat labeled made in the USA could be imported.

the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) currently allows beef and pork products to be labeled "Product of the USA" or "Made in the USA" as long as it was processed in the U.S. But, as the USDA's current guidelines state, "the 'Product of USA' labeling claim may be applied to meat products derived from animals that have been imported from a foreign country but slaughtered in the United States, as well as to meat products that have been imported from a foreign country and repackaged [...] in the United States."

For sure on the Banquet... But those Camps were money.....

That is hilarious!!

 

[jetboatperformance]

I grew up on TV dinners and Banquet Pot pies , Oh and My Moms Macaroni and cheese .... when My Old man BBq'd it tasted like Gasoline cuase he started his briquets with 100 octane EDIt BTW I really liked High School cafeteria food in the 60's and 70's

 

[Pattle]

In college I was broke and eating the cheap mac&cheese, like 4 boxes for $1. I went home for a weekend and my stepmom made me that same cheap shitty mac&cheese. She said she wanted to make my favorite, which must be this since I eat so much of it. Straight face. Thinking back, I think she must have been messing with me, but back then I just assumed she was ditzy.

 

[ChumpChange]

The first time I read it I couldn’t decide if you were recommending them or not.

I read the word “inedible” as “incredible”. Changes the whole post.

For frozen dinner, Marie Calendars makes some good stuff. Still sky high in sodium and all the bad shit, but they taste pretty good. If you're at a workplace with a single microwave and a short lunch hour, your coworkers will hate you. They take quite a while to prepare.

Stater Bros had a fresh version of those in the meat case when I was there the other day. Made me all nostalgic and shit. Damn near bought one.

… Those are definitely not good… Some of Marie Callenders are actually pretty good… I don’t have much choice… I’m so hobbled up I can’t really cook… any more

[Hammer]

That’s because you didn’t buy Stouffers, I loved there Salisbury Steak and Mac n Cheese growing up!

 

[Yldboyz]

Looks like three hamburger patties.

 

[ChumpChange]

This is why I have Raisin Bran in the cupboard.

cheap mac & cheese was a staple in my early 20's we were living large if we could cut up a hot dog in there too. same with top ramen. the trick is to boil the hot dog with the noodles. and if we are being honest, i still like it, but have moved up to an egg in the top ramen.

.., I have been trying to remember what I lived on in my college days… it was frozen broccoli… But now that I think about it, I ate a lot of I guess it was Kraft, macaroni and cheese… We used to call it kraft dinner… i’m not even sure if top Ramen existed in the mid 60s???.., the highlight was canned Argentinian beef… To go along with a Friday night a little extra money and I’m guessing really good marijuana.., I survived..,

Kraft Mac and Cheese and Bologna sandwiches with mustard. And Ramen.

….You know if somebody asked me right now if I wanted a bologna sandwich on white bread with mustard… I would go for it as long as they cut the white bread diagonally.

I buy the Hungry Man dinners when I go out in the motorhome by myself. Also do the Jimmy Dean breakfasts. I am a gourmet.

I remember tv dinners and the apple pie would burn the taste buds off your tongue 20 minutes after eating everything else.

Cause they knew you’d taste the dessert first and burn yourself so you couldn’t taste the God-awful main course

Two patties, a slice of American cheese on one and a slice of swiss on the other, top with grilled onions and serve on toasted rye bread.

 

[DWC]

Am i the only one that used these growing up? Nothing better than Salisbury steak on a flimsy piece of tin

"chopped, shaped and thinly sliced" so it's kind of a home built Arby's sandwich.
