I decided to make myself a TV dinner. Problems with this dinner: -the box does not clearly state that it's 1lb of food, it looked like all the other boxes in the store freezer section so I ended up with a 1lb dinner -this 560 calorie box is called "satisfying servings" -there's green shapes all over it because green = healthy -there are also green leaves because leaves = healthy -on the back there's a blurry picture of a salad and tomatoes and peppers because they = healthy I feel like im posting in the china thread as a Chinese person who who's into TCM. Healthy! The box says the following things: -"pair this dish with a salad or a side of vegetables to create a meal that is a part of a balanced diet" --how do you expect me to stuff more into myself when I already ate 1lb of food? Also lol that anyone eating this is gonna eat vegetables -"freshly made" --by your automated machines and maybe some minimum wage workers, yes -"we stick to the basics." Yes your grill flavor, autolyzed yeast extract, and enzyme modified butterfat sure are "the basics," just like mom used to make at home! -"what's the secret to your Meatloaf recipe?" No of course we aren't going to use this for profit no way we just want to hear about it I'll give them credit though that the pic on the cover is an exact representation of what came in my dinner, albeit put on a pretty plate. Do YOU have TV dinner stories or complaints? Are you also a lazy person who eats TV dinners? Tell the stories, preferably horrific ones. Here's the dinner I made that has created this post

You don't need a whole TV dinner man, just one BIG AZ burger will do. 870 calories, 55 grams of fat, 23 grams of saturated fat, 1,370 mg of sodium, 57g of carbs, and not a single nutritional component to be found. Heats in 90 seconds so you can get it done during a commercial. Sublime.

The best is when some rear end hole brings one of those to work and has to hog the microwave in the break room for 10 minutes at noon while a good chunk of the staff is on lunch and also wants to use the microwave. I do eat my fair share of Grillers Prime by Morningstar though. Does that count for this thread? BAE OF PIGS fucked around with this message at 12:50 on Dec 9, 2016 |

I ate tv dinners when I was renovating my kitchen and had no sink or stove. I didn't die or got fat and they didn't taste horrible. I didn't have a TV so I'm p.sure I was illegally eating them That is my tv dinner story

I don't live in America to lift film, stir, and microwave again. If your TV dinner can't be microwaved in one go, it can gently caress RIGHT OFF

I've always wanted to eat one of those old timey Swanson dinners that came in the metal tray. I don't know why I think that metal tray would make it taste better, but I have to believe that it would This kind:

Thin Privilege posted:I don't know the type but what am I supposed to do with all these peppers #1. Mortar and pestle #2. Cook some suitable poo poo in a pan or kettle #3. Toss a handful of homegrown into it. It's the #2 step that I'm having problems with. I really need to start making some hot stews this winter. And just lol when the Carolina Reapers eventually start producing. They're the current Scoville world record holders. I'm gonna be knee deep in weapons grade spice.

The thing with TV dinners is you don't have leftovers, you have reruns.

Back when my buddies and I would throw ragers every weekend at the party house we had one dude that would always show up with his alcohol of choice and a Hungry Man XXL dinner. He was the only dude that didn't live at the house that managed to pass out with a full stomach and not wake up the next morning absolutely famished. Truly a pioneer.
