Hungry Man Dinner Review
 
First thing I notice, is that the box does not have "Swanson" printed anywhere on it. It says "Salisbury Steak", it says "1lb", it says "HUNGRY-MAN". It also says, "Satisfy Your Craving". Eek... Oh... I'm still going to eat it, though... Its a blue box, says "HUNGRY MAN" all over it, but I have no idea who makes it. Most of the printing is too small for me to read...

Now, the last time I ate one of these things, it came in an aluminum serving tray. This is a black plastic affair, and it tells me I need to preheat my over to 350 degrees.

Aside #1: My dad left in 1970. My mom had to raise me and my sister all on her lonesome, work a full time job, and pay off a mortgage with no help from "The Old Man" (who is - alas - still alive...)

So, Swanson TV dinners, Kraft dinner, and Shopsy's hotdogs played a huge role in my up-bringing.

Ok. TV dinners were HUGE in the late '60s through the '70s. I now have a big blue box with 1lb!!! of food in it. The plastic scares me a bit, but I'm waiting for my oven to preheat. Then I am going to eat this shit.

[SIZE="1"]Aside #2: I just turned the box over and happened to catch the insane wall of text list of ingredients in this package. The text of the box says, "Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy, Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans with a Brownie. The back of the box disagrees with that, though...
Ok. Oven's hot. Gonna toss it in there 35 minutes...

I'm back. Update in half an hour.

Seventeen minutes to wait. I'm fucking HUNGRY!

garce 06-16-2012 04:45 PM

T minus seven minutes. Its actually smelling pretty good.

candyflip 06-16-2012 04:48 PM

Does not sounds tasty at all.

B.Barnato 06-16-2012 05:03 PM

Update please.

MrBottomTooth 06-16-2012 05:06 PM

Those things are poison. One of the few foods that still come loaded with trans fat.

You betcha...

I just pulled it out of the oven about 15 minutes ago. Gonna let it rest (not interested in eating 350 degree food...)

I have to admit it smells fantastic, though. I'll let it drop to about 120-150 degrees, I'll dig in, and I'll report back in a bit.

Thanks for the update, hope it tastes as good as it smells.

You could have made the same thing from scratch, probably cheaper, and much healthier in the same time that it took to prepare the dinner.

Funny story.

The last time I ate one of them I was still working for GTS, so it would have been the middle of 07. We were sitting around playing Wii and I found a bone fragment in it that was about as big as my thumbnail. Many hours later I was sick as a dog with food poisoning which had me out of commission for 3 days.

I have never eaten another one of them since.

garce 06-16-2012 05:27 PM

It wasn't bad. Tasted great, but I feel a bit nauseous - always a good sign. I think I can flush the sodium out of my system with a good run and a couple bottles of water.

Yeah, I don't feel too good right now....

garce 06-16-2012 05:29 PM

Got my dog, gonna go run.

Ok, I really don't feel good. I gonna leave Jake at home.

Looking at the title I thought you were going to review a Gay DVD.

Hungry Man Dinner by Toronto Cum Eaters Productions starring Garce, Mr T and Mike Tyson. :1orglaugh

Deej 06-16-2012 07:19 PM

uhoh hes dead... someone go feed Jake

baddog 06-16-2012 08:11 PM

I would think the plastic is so you can microwave it. Many condolences though, I hope I never see a TV dinner again, much less eat one.

And a pound of food? That would be two dinners for me these days.

Mr Pheer 06-16-2012 09:14 PM

Food that comes in a box is generally bad for you.

Tijuana_Tom 06-16-2012 09:19 PM

TV Dinners are nothing today like they were 40 years ago.

What was your reasoning for purchasing this? Curiosity? I do the same thing at the grocery store.

I am a sucker for cool boxes.

If you cooked what was in the box yourself from scratch it would have cost a few dollars more but been a million times better.

Edit: It cracks me up how the marketing never resembles the actual product. Why can't they just make decent frozen food? lol

Frozen Pizzas really annoys me they are all horrible.

shake 06-16-2012 09:51 PM

How are you feeling now, still with us? We need an update :2 cents:

HTMwrestling 06-16-2012 11:09 PM

In shitter or hospital.

BSleazy 06-17-2012 12:04 AM

Hungry Man is the best of the microwavable dinners. I get them quite often. Cigs and beer have got to be worse for you than those things.

BSleazy 06-17-2012 12:05 AM

Are they better or worse than fast food? Any studies?

thegreatestporn 06-17-2012 12:08 AM

You don't have a microwave?

CurrentlySober 06-17-2012 12:44 AM

i cant afford a tv dinner... :(

Axzar 06-17-2012 02:02 AM

I don't use my TV.

Captain Kawaii 06-17-2012 04:36 AM

What'll be next? A report on successful panhandling techniques? Enjoy the cancer.

Amen to that. I made a huge batch of shepherds pie and picked up those aluminum containers and froze them. Probably the best kitchen gadget is one of those vacuum sealers. I make batches of chicken fingers for my kid and chicken Parmesan and seal them. Works for chilli,stew, pasta sauce, individual lasagne, you name it. Then whenever you are rushed for time grab something out of the freezer and you know exactly what is in your dinner.

CDSmith 06-17-2012 08:50 AM

RIP to you in advance garce.

That shit'll kill you.

My freezer is full of homemade frozen dinners.
