I offer up to you, kind readers of the Food Forum, this review of tonight's dinner. I needed a break from the depressant that is the P&R forum (good Lord this country is going to hell), and I wanted to create a new thread so that I could tag it appropriately so that if anyone were to Google what I had for dinner, this thread might pop to the top of the list (or close).
Sooo...dcr & I were shopping in Fry's the other day, and there's this big display of
Healthy Choice's latest product line.
Fresh Mixers ...they are essentially shelf stable tv dinners. We looked over the assorted choices & I chose to try their
Sesame Teriyaki Chicken. I have to bring my lunch every day because there isn't much open downtown when I have my lunch (~2 a.m.), and I don't like driving alone downtown at that time even if there are places open.
It's a pretty cool concept; the container is in two parts; you separate the parts...add water to the bottom & steam the rice first, then you heat the top part (chicken, teriyaki sauce, pineapple, water chestnuts, etc) and mix them altogether when done.
Conception & execution, however, don't always match. Some things are better off left on the drawing room floor. The chicken looks like the chunks of "beef" you would get in
Pedigree Choice Cuts With Beef. Not surprisingly, it tastes how I imagined said dog food would taste.
There is nothing about this meal that would ever make me think, "Oh! Teriyaki!" Possibly, "Eww...Teriyucky"...but I think that's giving it too much credit. I'm pretty sure some crazy, impoverished old lady got a buttload of money for sending in her dog food dinner idea to the folks over at Healthy Choice.
I will grant that the water chestnuts were still nice and crunchy, if not a scary shade of brown, and the pineapple did, in fact, taste like pineapple. Well, pineapple drowning in dog food gravy.
However, Donald...Pariah...Schutd...feel free to enjoy this meal...NO HFCS!!! Rest assured your dogs, err...I mean, family, can eat this without ingesting any of that evil ingredient.
It should also be noted that tastebuds be damned, I finished the freakin' thing.
Woof.
That is all.
