| I just finished eating an early dinner which was turkey with "all the trimmings." It was Mary Callender's Honey Roasted Turkey frozen dinner. They were only $3.50 at Vons. Once I placed my dinner in the microwave, thoughts went through my mind that my dinner creation would win first place on "Top Chef," and I would be invited to the Rachael Ray Show to cook my creation, and even end up replacing her ("The BurgerWars Show"). After following the directions precisely the way they were written on the box, this is how my dinner turned out. The picture on the box looks better. Surely it can't because I am an incompetent cook. I ate it anyway. I hope I don't end up seeing the food again before going to bed. |

I think TV dinners should be more heavily regulated so that the results match the packaging photos. |

RS4Rings said:So popping something into a microwave is considered cooking? I count it as cooking! If my creation turned out successful, I would have invited 10 friends over for Thanksgiving to feast on the same meal. At only $3.50 each I could have fed them all for $35.00. I figure I would have to get a couple of six-packs of soda to go with it ($5), so for $40 it would be a Thanksgiving dinner that nobody would soon forget! |

Tv dinners there's nothin' else to eat
Tv dinners they really can't be beat
I like 'em frozen but you understand
I throw 'em in and 'wave 'em
and I'm a brand new man, oh yeah! Tv dinners they're goin' to my head
Tv dinners my skin is turnin' red
Twenty year old turkey in a thirty year old tin
Can't wait until tomorrow....
to thaw one out again, oh yeah! Tv dinners I'm feelin' kinda rough
Tv dinners this one's kinda tough
I like the enchiladas and the teriaki too
I even like the chicken if.... The sauce is not too blue. And they're mine, all mine, oh yeah
And they sure are fine.
Gotta have 'em
Gimme somethin' now. |

So funny - a coworker made the roasted chicken meal as lunch today and it looks like yours did. "Creation" infers that there was input on the part of the creator. |

Read the box carefully. In small print next to the picture you'll notice it says "serving suggestion". They are suggesting that you serve what is in the picture, not what is in the box! |

Then they're shipped to your local JItB frozen and then deep fried before serving. Simple explanation really. Yes, deep fried tacos. mmmmmmmm. |

Love the disclaimer on the front of the box: MUST BE COOKED THOROUGHLY That's so you hopefully kill all the E. coli and shit in it. |
