I like the gravy the steak is in. and Decent amount of meat (for a tv dinner).
Plus the sides don't suck.

I'm semi serious. I don't often eat tv dinners, and there's numerous that are objectively better, but they start getting into the prices of real food, but not quite real food quality. Banquet costs $1, and it's good enough when I feel lazy, and don't feel like going out.

I haven't had a TV dinner since the late 70's.

I still love Salisbury steak.

I feel a little weird that the steak is made of chicken and pork, but you aren't wrong.

As far as I know they don't make these anymore. But these got me through college. :)

Jesus. Christ. I have never seen that before. Must look for it.

For me, I've really been digging the taco or Mexican fiesta thing from Hungry Man.

You monster
Yeah, I know. Funny thing is the meat really didn't matter. If they had replaced it with chicken, and kept everything the same, I would have been just as happy. :)

Veal is alright, just don't see it often. I don't think I'd try a frozen version of it though.

I do enjoy good chicken parm also.

I used to get a few Hungry Man/Marie Colanders just for convenience at work for lunch after not eating them for awhile, I gave up and just went back to bringing a can of soup,leftovers, or a sandwich with chips/crackers.

I occasionally buy the 26oz size. But it does take 1hr 10mins to cook. I add more veggies. The crust is really good. Chicken is actual chunks of chicken, not processed formed cubes.

I love chicken pot pie but they over-salt the frozen ones I've had in the past. Someone bought some pre-cooked premium chicken pot pies from a food market and it was exquisite... Frozen stuff that comes in pouches are totally oversalted.

The Marie Callendar frozen Chicken Pot Pies are actually pretty darn good and the best frozen ones I've had.

Haven't eaten a TV dinner since about 1982.

I was married in January 1983 and my wife cooks and takes care of my nutritional needs.

I do have sympathy for you poor fuckers that have to eat that slop.

we used to buy frozen chicken pot pies from a company called Pub Pies back in the late 80's. They were actually quite good.

who the heck eats TV dinners anymore? I can remember as a kid loving pot pies and Salisbury Steak dinners though. But that was over 20 years ago.
