WE RUN A CATERING AND EVENTS COMPANY AND USE THESE MOSTY FOR CHILDRENS PARTIES...THEY ARE EASY TO SERVE AND THE CHILDREN LOVE THE BOYARDEE PRODUCTS. WE CANT GET THEM FROM ANY SUPPLIER FOR WHAT AMAZON SELLS THEM FOR IN THE SUBSCRIBE&SAVE PROGRAM...AND THEY TASTE GOOD AS WELL.
Not 'The Chef's" Best Effort ...
I'm a senior and have been a ChefBoyardee fan since childhood. Never thought I'd ever say anything bad about 'The Chef'. Strange as it seems to me, I guess I've never had the spaghetti and meatballs before. The two little meatballs in each of these almost childsize portions are fine. But the too little spaghetti and way too much sauce are really bland.
It takes two bowls of this to make a meal, and I'm not a big eater. And even amendments (e.g. fresh pepper) don't do much.
And ... don't get me started on those silly microwave bowls. I don't like a mess at home and can't imagine trying to microwave and then eat this in an office setting. Maybe, just maybe, it would work if the same amount of food was in a bigger bowl ... but you've still got the splashy lid(s) to deal with.
All in all I'll stick with canned Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli or even lasagna unless those old fashioned cans suddenly disappear!
2nd: I have a husband and two boys (17 & 11) and no one really likes these. I fixed one for my starving 17 year old the other day and he ate it because he was very hungry and cranky and walking out the door, but he said it tasted like spaghetti in Campbell's tomato soup, and the meatballs are not very good.
3rd: I suspect these taste like ChefBoyardee (think Spaghetti-O's) so if you like that, you will probably be very happy with these. They heat quickly and efficiently, and I think they would be an excellent lunch if you like the taste; I'm a teacher and I can see how valuable they would be on a 30 minute lunch break with a shared microwave. I just don't like the sweet Chef Boyardee taste anymore...
I could eat these all day! Delicious feel good food.
Great stuff, fast lunch!
These are fabulous for kids' and husband lunches! They're fast for the kids to heat and have a hot meal, but if you're packing them for your husband, you might toss in two of these or include a sandwich. They're not huge, about 3/4 cup in size, so that's not that much for a manly appetite. They're really good too, surprisingly enough, and the value for the money is nice. Not too salty either, like soup has been lately. And honestly, with the cost of soup these days, this stuff fills you up more and costs the same. Recommend!
