Yummr's Main Dish
- Hungry Man ... and Woman
-
Apparently it's National Frozen Food month and in conjunction with a very funny (at least in my opinion) Hungry Man commercial that I saw last night, I decided to reflect upon the many boxed meals that I've passed as I pushed my cart down the super market aisle.I thought the recent Hungry Man TV spot was very funny and is something that many women, including myself, have been guilty of. The commercial is a parody of how women usually go in pairs to the bathroom for no apparent reason or just to keep each other company. I wanted to look the video up to accompany this post and naturally gravitated towards YouTube to look for it (even though I now realize that it's also on their official site). The title that the publisher decided to give it was "Hungry Man Sexist TV Commercial." I could not find it with tags like "hungry", "man", "commercial", and "bathroom." I understand the reasoning behind this but I mean, with a product name like Hungry Man, what can you expect? I won't stray further away from the topic on hand.
The spot got me wondering if a Hungry Man would really fill a hungry man or woman up. I rarely pop one of these bad boys in the microwave but when I do, I find them to be more sauce than actual food. Not filling at all. I'd rather spend the 3 bucks on a cup of soup. I'm not taking anything else (like nutrition, or lack of) into account here. I know it's the convenience that is a big point to these meals but there are other more convenient options, no? What's your take on frozen/TV dinners? Do you have them on hand for those really hectic days? Do you find them satisfying? I'd also like to know if anyone has tried any of Rocco DiSpirito's frozen meals so please do share if you have.

AH this is funny I just posted in the forums about frozen food! Well I suppose great minds really DO think alike. Or something.
Convenience is HUGE and if you lower your standards just enough, it's possible to have a decent frozen food experience. I rarely eat frozen food purely for the taste, though.

The most filling Hungry-Man dinner I had was actually some kind of a sandwich. I forget what it was; it was either meatball sub or chicken parm. It came with TWO sandwiches.
But yeah other than that, most of the food they give you is bunk (ie bad cuts of chicken and meat).
But as I told my boss who ate one recently: "You don't eat a Hungry-Man for nutrition."
