What annoys me is that it's impossible to find a frozen meal that's ever been near a vegetable that's also more than 300 calories. I don't know who these people are who eat 240 calories for lunch but I need more food than that. Anything that's like 500-600 calories is EXT-REAM MAN HUNGER CREAMY BACON FRIED CHICKEN MAC M CHEEZ.

bob dobbs is dead posted:TJs and costco are the only good ones now yeah The TJ frozen food is usually solid. TJ Indian stuff is my go-to, I always have a few in the freezer for lazy days. It's not really expensive either. OwlFancier posted:A couple years ago I used to like going to a sit down fish and chip place by the sea, was quite expensive for the actual fish and chips but they would do you a bowl of battered calamari the size of your head for surprisingly cheap. Anyone who says they don't enjoy occasionally going for a pile of food the size of a small child is a liar.

I'm talking 1:1 comparisons of the same frozen dinners. After ConAgra acquired Marie Callenders the dinners actually changed. Like their fettucine and chicken alfredo used to come with the pasta, broccoli, and chicken and sauce in separate pouches, and even included a pepper packet. It actually came out like restaurant quality food. And Swanson Hungry Man "salisbury steak" used to be okay, but now is lower quality to the point of finding chunks of bone in it. The quality has assuredly gone down in the major brands.

I honestly like that lovely frozen meals are usually 300ish calories, they're great for a lazy night where I don't feel hateful towards myself for overeating, and if it's a dinner or a lunch where I'm extra hangry I usually can just add 100ish calories or so to make it filling (usually with extra cheese, nothing ever has enough cheese, or extra protein) I'm trying to lose weight after this year of moving in with my weightlifter boyfriend who orders out all the time and doesn't cook anything unless it involves allll the cream or butter, and general covid weight gain. The only good frozen or prepared meals I've found here in Aus are youfoodz tho, which range from 6-10 each, but they're amazing and taste and look like real food

CaptainSarcastic posted:As an American, I'd have to agree that portion sizes got out of control years ago and are only now starting to show any signs of reversion to normalcy. Seriously, a while back, I determined that the large combo I was getting on my biweekly trip to Wendy's was just way too much, and switched to small. The thing is it's that way by design for reasons. It's only $1.00 to upgrade to a large, because americans can't resist a good deal, especially when it comes to food

You know what's AFP but extremely good? Battered and fried Florida gator tail dunked in way too much blue cheese. I don't know what local floridians eat but if anyone sees a trace of Randaconda I bet that'd be a good lure.Iron Crowned posted:I will defend the honor of being drunk and/or hungover at a Chinese buffet You need to hit up a Mandarin someday. What a fuckin buffet. It's god's own chinese buffet (that also has sushi and soft serve and all the things you may desire). Like, it's not exactly good but it's soooo good. Probably the best birthday I ever had was renting a kayak alone, kayaking along Lake Ontario to a trailhead, hiking for around 8 hours, kayaking back, and then stumbling into Mandarin with my friends and demolishing the buffet.

I do side work at a China Star buffet and they send me home with like five bags of food every night I work. I just get all the leftovers but I'll be goddamned if that isn't like 80% of why I do the job. Three pounds of nothing but spring rolls and that weird jalapeno shrimp? Oh and half a gallon of pudding? Well don't mind if I do. I scrub the bar better when I'm full of MSG anyway.

More like people can't resist feeling like they got a good deal. The burger is by far the most expensive part of the meal. Throwing in a couple of cents worth of fries and soda and charging an extra $1 is a huge money maker for restaurants, which is why staff are usually encouraged to upsell as much as possible. Vinaigrette talk: I make my own as well. They're what finally made salad palatable to me after growing up in a family where salad just went dry and undressed. I started making my own after our condiment cupboard ended up filled with about a dozen different varieties. I like mine with less oil/more vinegar than my partner who likes more oil and sweeter ingredients, so we each have a jar of pre-mixed base ingredients in different ratios.

When I was younger I worked in a resort area as a bartender and I'd get Young Adults With Money asking for chivas and coke or kettle one and soda but nothing like that. Would've liked to have been born into 3600 dollar scotch and diet coke money.

you could also just take the bottle out, pour a full glass of soda w no liquor, take the photo, and drink your coke, its not like this one is made in good faith

My favorite drink is Glenmorangie 10 year in diet root beer with oranges because I am an absolute swine. That Macallan and diet Coke probably tastes like diet happiness. I'd kill an ox with my bare hands to try it.
