Thank you! Someone has FINALLY summed up the whole situation! Most of the assholes who rave about "the evils" of Gluten have NO idea what it is. You could tell them it is dog shit stirred in the gravy and they would believe it. NO: they would lap it up! Thanks again!

@CynthiaWord-iq7in Жыл бұрын

Sometimes I will throw a few banquets in the basket for backup. Had one this week, taste good, almost zero nutrition, so I counted the $1.29 gave me 4 peas, why because peas are cheap and could add nutritional fillers to rave reviews--if you seriously like them for kids sometimes, have a bag of frozen peas handy and at mid-bake, fork split the top and spoon in some, comes out great.

I liked the Swanson and Banquet ones as a kid as a grown-up I make them myself. Leftover chicken, pork, turkey or beef from a Sunday roast or grilling is best. In a pinch use a rotisserie chicken. I make the gravy from my own stock but purchased can work too. I admit I use Aldi's Belmont frozen crust. It's tender flaky and so easy. I add a frozen mixed veggies pre cooked potatoes salt pepper Dill Parsley to taste. Frozen ones will taste like cardboard in comparison 😋

Once you've been exposed to meat pies from English bakeries, you won't be able to stomach this junk in the frozen food section of American supermarkets. An English meat pie is super flavorful, filling, and has plenty of good stuff inside the crust. American pot pies have thick crust and very little inside, and the little that's there has no flavor. Just say no!

I should have known. Boston Market really does taste better-IF YOU ARE NOT ALLERGIC TO SOY! If you are you are just buying stomach cramps and misery. Marie Callender's used to be good but they have reduced how much they put in the pie and raised the price. Banquet is fine if you like the taste of cardboard, the box tastes better than the food. That leaves Swanson. It tastes like a frozen TV dinner for a halfway decent price. It is sad that this is what are choices have come to. Here's a hint for all of them. Reduce the number of chemicals and increase the actual foods included.
