Tried the Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes banquet mega meal

I’ll give it a fair 1/10. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
I haven’t had a Salisbury steak frozen meal since I was a kid so I decided to give this one a go. Problems I had with it is that this is considered a mega meal but they give you not that much mashed potatoes, barely any taste. Im from a white family and I’ve had food with more seasoning than this, lastly it had the taste and consistency of hospital food. It was very soft and mushy. Anyways I tried.

I have bags of frozen veggies i use to add color to meals like this.

There's one from Encor but, you get just the steaks in mash ands six patties it's so good. I usually pour some sriracha and other spices in through the slut you have to make to jazz it up. It's always a favourite of mine on a cold day.
SkynetLurking@reddit
I mean I guess anything is good when you pour it through the slut
BoopTheCoop@reddit
Through the what?
Chris_Wilson14@reddit
The slit you make in the corner to vet.

“Steak” and “Potatoes” should be in quotes.
That said, I have gone down on these like a fat kid on a seesaw many many many many a night and I’ll die on the hill that they are delicious.

This looks like jail food
Ocean_Bear@reddit
Boy, I’d have to be really hungry to eat that.
The-Final-Reason@reddit
You’re in the wrong sub. This is food porn but shit … a lot of us would eat. These cheap Salisbury steaks are great tasting
Ultimatehacker77@reddit
Like ESPECIALLY these ones. There's a bunch of people on r/frozenfoods that love these
Life_as_a_new_weeb@reddit
It actually tastes really good w white rice 😭

Like a shitty loco moco
tabruss@reddit
I’m more concerned about the mashed potatoes more than anything.
EnrichedNaquadah@reddit
looks like it was overheated and the top layer got dry.

I think the last time I ate one of these was 3 decades ago and it was shit quality. I can't even imagine what this had devolved into with the gradual enshittification of everything.
Full-Fox-3392@reddit
For real, it’s like they forgot meals over the yearshow to
tkrr@reddit
Is Salisbury steak even a thing for most people? I feel like it's pretty much entirely kept alive by the frozen food industry and it's a fossil outside that.

This rips.
PermanentTrainDamage@reddit
My mom makes it, much preferred to meatloaf. Served with roast veg and crusty bread, delicious.
EmmyWeeeb@reddit (OP)
Yes, my mom makes her own version of it and it’s really good
RecalcitrantHuman@reddit
It’s 3x worse I guess.
scfw0x0f@reddit
Looks about the same as it did 40 years or more ago.
Banquet was always the low end of the TV dinner pantheon. Stouffer’s was top, Hungry Man was mid.
SanestExile@reddit
Why?
LazarusHimself@reddit
Looks like the food you find around Fallout New Vegas
TrainingSword@reddit
Why do you expect good things from a meal that costs $3.40
EmmyWeeeb@reddit (OP)
Your right
Investoid@reddit
I agree with you. When I tried it the mashed potatoes had that wierd artifical taste to it.
EmmyWeeeb@reddit (OP)
That’s cuz it is artificial. Pretty sure it’s instant mashed potatoes or something like that.
Short_Emu_885@reddit
It needs some shitty corn but honestly, would
EmmyWeeeb@reddit (OP)
The one I use to eat as a kid had corn with it. My expectations and tastebuds are definitely not the same as they were when I was a kid lol
EnkiduTheGreat@reddit
Looks kinda like the salsbury steak MRE we had in Afghanistan.
EmmyWeeeb@reddit (OP)
Damn
Psianth@reddit
Yeah, there are good meatloaf/Salsbury steak frozen meals but banquet is not one of them. Frankly nothing from banquet is really any good, definitely one of the lowest tier frozen meal brands
EmmyWeeeb@reddit (OP)
They trick you with the image on the package
plan1gale@reddit
I assumed this was hospital food straight up.
weirdoldhobo1978@reddit
I keep seeing the Stouffers frozen chipped beef on toast (aka shit on a shingle) at the store and I keep wanting to try even though I know it's going to be awful.
baconandegglover@reddit
the problem with the taste occurs when you go in with poorly adjusted expectations. I think it'd taste just fine with where yours currently are.
IZZO79@reddit
That's not real food.

Dangerous-Courage412@reddit
the bologna sandwiches in jail have more nutritional value than this ‘meal’ and that’s saying a lot 🤦🏻♀️ no reason anyone should have to live like this
EmmyWeeeb@reddit (OP)
Honestly I don’t think it was real meat

It really doesn't look appetizing at all.

Have never seen food that looked so much like death

Pass the bread and butter and I’m all in
Foxy_GirlfluffyTail@reddit
Why didn't you stir anything I eat those all time just follow the directions 😭
EmmyWeeeb@reddit (OP)
I did, it said to vent the film, warm for 5min then move the patties around so I flipped each one over, then put it back in for 5 min.
Honeysenpaiharuchan@reddit
That’s gonna come out of you looking about the same.
Smaptimania@reddit
Nite Hawk salisbury steaks are good if you can find them. They have a charbroiled flavor to them and they have them with a lot of different sides - there's one with mac & cheese, one with tater tots, one with loaded mashed potatoes, one with ranch beans and cornbread, etc.
