Tastefully Plated Reviews

I tried the braised beef, sweet potato baby food and broccoli. First observation was that the only reason this product even sells at all is the gimmick of the plate and showing people what it looks like before buying.

But the real art involved is the acres of real estate on that bevel edge box filler. When you take it out, that little square in the middle has less food in it than many frozen entrees half the size of this package. THIS is the new goal of all frozen entree manufacturers: to sell us a tiny little bit of food in a big mostly air filled box. The profits at $7 a plate would be astounding since there's only about $1 worth of food and another $1 worth of packaging.

Next, the tiny portions are almost inedible, due to the amount of pepper they used, which seems to be the only identifiable flavor. So you're gasping until you guzzle down some water. That's how you get filled up too.

Enjoy your novel plate of overpriced, not too great food. Next time buy a Hungry Man, or go get a burger somewhere.

I tried the the braised pork. My mom picked this up for me to try since my diet is really restricted right now and I work late so she thought these might be a handy meal to bring to work. Unfortunately, I’m quite sure this really shouldn’t be labeled Paleo. It has white potatoes, potato flour, dextrose and Maltodextrin? Hmmm. I ate it because I was curious and it was tasty but won’t buy it again since I’m trying to avoid wheat, corn, rice and soy products to give my body a rest and these meals contain ingredients I need to avoid. I know I know, I should be eating only completely homemade meals but I was sort of excited with the prospect that I might be able to give myself a break in the kitchen once in awhile. Oh well. Back to just the produce and meat departments at the store.
