Share your pre-packaged disasters?!
I love to cook, and usually do so from scratch, and get requests for more, so I'm not a disaster in the kitchen!. I do happen across some packaged stuff every now and then that's not so bad!. However, I once bought this packaged pasta with an instant powdered pesto sauce that was HORRIBLE!!! (Lol, I know fellow foodies- powdered pesto, how could I NOT have known!?) Anyway, my husband gave me hell about those "godawful green noodles" (his words) the entire time we were married!. What was your worst packaged food taste experience!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Maybe it is just me, but I have not found a single "Healthy Choice" product that I liked!. Not only is the texture weird, but the seasoning is just not right!.
I have also, been trying to diet and eat healthier foods!. Whole grain pasta just did not work out!. The grain favor seemed to over whelm the sauce!. So I have given up on pasta for the moment!.
I tried using canned fried onions for a batter mix, what a mess!. I will live for awhile without batters!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Those mac and cheese TV dinners are certainly one of the worsts (tho the Banquet ones that are only a dollar are so awesome most times--1/5ish get freezer burned easily or something and odn't cook right)!.
Nothing tops Schwan's Vegetarian Lasagna!. I popped it into the micro for the recommended time!.!.!. It came out!.!.!. So gross!. Most of the noodles were so dried out, then the middle was just liquid (the sauce chunks had kinda stuck to the side) and flimsy noodle!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I for the life of God cannot understand why, but at least half the time I try to open the wrong end of the bag or box or whatever it is!. So, one morning I was opening the bottom of an oatmeal bag and BAM! Oatmeal all over the place!. I didn't have time to clean it up!. Like you I cook from scratch almost all the time, but that day I was so tired when I got home I just wanted a drink of milk and a nap!. Opened the wrong end of the milk carton and pouring it into the glass, more than half the stream went on the floor!. Where the oatmeal still was!. Bummer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
For me it was a pre-packaged (I believe it was Jennie-o or maybe foster farms) pre-cooked turkey breast that you had reheat!. It looked sooooooo good on the wrapping but omg it was YUCK!!! I don't think I would even expect my dog to eat it!. Never again :DWww@FoodAQ@Com
oh I don't know who makes them but those prepackaged, pre cooked roasts and turkey breasts and stuff!. Omg I tried the roast and the turkey breast and both tasted like dog food!. It was disgusting!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
