Food From the Microwave #1

So I love food. I'm also a horrible cook that's lazy. So a lot of times, Microwave foods end up in my belly. There's a lot of bad crap out there, as well as some really good ones, so I'm gonna let you know which ones I think are worth trying and which ones I think should be avoided.

TGI Friday's Buffalo Popcorn Chicken.

Prep: This is more complicated than most microwave foods. It comes with a sauce packet that you have to leave in hot water for a few minutes. While this isn't a huge deal, it does cut down on the portability of the product.

Smell: It really didn't have much of a smell to it. Usually you expect good food to smell really good, but there just wasn't much scent coming from it at all.

Looks: It looked a lot like Buffalo popcorn chicken. When covered in the sauce, it looked even better.

Taste: AMAZING. Seriously, this tasted just like any buffalo chicken that you would get at a chain restaraunt. While a purist could find fault with the comparison between the real deal and this, it's not the fault of the product that it doesn't compete. But it is very successful in recreating the appetizers from Friday's. I would definitely eat this again as well as recommend it to anyone else.

Price: I would say that it is a but pricey for the amount that you get, but if you had a coupon or see it on sale pick it up instantly, because it's great, just a bit on the small side.

Man, I love real potato skins, but the TGI Friday ones aren't half as good...and pricey.

Yeah I almost got some of these, but the price tag is fucking retarded.

You're better of buying a live baby chick, feeding it for 6 months, hiring a butcher to kill and prep it, have it shipped around the globe to gain 'flavors of the universe', and then making your own buffalo sauce out of TIME INGREDIENTS by building a time machine and going back to 1885 to steal Doc Brown's LIGHTNIN' SAUCE, then coming back to the future to accept your GLOBAL CHICKEN from FedEx, and cooking the shit yourself.

You'd save so much money this way.

Summary: Shit ain't cheap for what you get.

Best microwave food, the jolly green giant broccoli that steams itself. I eat like two bags of that a week.
