Thread 21425259

Im so fucking tired of pretending these aren't good. Just because you are too fucking lazy to put them in an oven and then bitch the chicken isn't crispy and award winning like Popeyes or some shit.

Put it in the oven do the work and get a tasty as fuck meal as the result.

More like Hungry woMAN. I want a meal not a snack, bitch ass.

mogged by kid cuisine and Im not joking

>>21425269
How??

>>21425259 (OP)
Besides Aldi, nearly every American grocery store has superior fried chicken. Pretty sure those hungry mans are up 5 or 6 bucks now. If you want to trash it up, just get an 8 piece and a pouch of instant potatoes and a dollar bag of corn.

Grim. Really grim.

There is no reason to buy TV dinners unless they are on sale for under $2, and even then I definitely wouldn't buy this. I can get a 1lb bag of frozen pierogies at shoprite for $1.49 right now. This thing in OP's pic costs $5 and it tastes like a crappy Obama school lunch. For comparison you could buy a whole ass rotisserie chicken for the same price.

>tfw I will never be able to enjoy a hungry man
>not amerifat
not even trolling, i want to try one

>>21425396
Yeah I only ever buy the "good" frozen dinners and only when they're on sale 4/$10.

>>21425259 (OP)
Protip for survival on these garbage tins:
1. Slap some butter on the corn. Makes sure they won't dry out. Margarine if you have to.
2. Mix in some butter with the potato-like substance. It won't help. Best thing is to replace it with a cup of actual potato flakes that you dehydrate.
3. Air fry the chicken. Will actually crisp it up.

>>21425396
This poster gets it. FAR better to get the components and make it yourself. Mug brownies and cakes are actually pretty damn good, and potato flakes work perfectly fine. It helps they are real potato instead of that shit. Get some 2-3lb bag of frozen fried chicken and you are set. And corn from a can is better than that crap.

>>21425259 (OP)
Why did they make the treys white? It makes the food look so fucking unappealing. I actually stopped buying these purely because of this change.

When it’s a special occasion and want to fancy up my slop I use the oven and follow all the instructions on the box. Serve on a plate with silverware.

>>21425259 (OP)
Why does one corn kernel always end up in the brownie?

>>21425480
You ever play showtunes while doing this and dancing in the kitchen?

>>21425259 (OP)
I do enjoy their fried chicken cutlettes meal. :)

>>21425396
I'm going to make sweet love to your femboy ass.

>>21425259 (OP)
I just don't see the point now that air fryers exist. Feeling lazy? Throw some shit in the air fryer and come back to a crispy delicious meal, maybe throw a little instant mash on top, who gives a fuck about the brownie and corn anyway.

What was the best hungry man meal? Why did they discontinue the pub ones?

>>21425587
>who gives a fuck about the brownie and corn anyway.
I do.

>>21425598
Shove some corn in the instant mash and just buy some bakery brownies then, I guess. That way you don't have to deal with the sad cafeteria trays and Hungry Man brownies feel like a sponge, all air and cocoa powder, not that deep bite you want from a brownie.

I don't know, microwave meals just seem like an antique of the 80s that've just stuck around. They're not cheap and they're not that convenient. I don't think they're really going to be around in another 10 years.

>>21425607
How are they not convenient

>>21425259 (OP)
I'm not faulting you for enjoying TV dinners.
I'm faulting you for eating a TV dinner whose only value is historical.
There's dozens of better options.

>>21425259 (OP)
Used to eat these the spicy chicken one, stopped after I kept getting sinew in the breaded chicken. They probably buy the cheapest, nastiest chicken they can get. If you want cheap chicken stick to the processed nuggets and tenders.

>>21425263
this. whole point of hungry man was to have larger portions than other pussier radio range tv dinners. these days you're better off getting a frozen pizza or a lasagna with your frozen slop budget

>>21425569
How do you hungry man?

>>21425598
Dibs on the brownie

>>21426000
Wheres your pride? Hungry Man is an American institution

So would most of us Cletus

>>21425460
Ahhh! Please don't! They're terrible. The only passable thing is the corn and that's because it's just standard frozen veggie. The potatoes are like instant mash, but even worse because it's frozen after. Imagine making instant potato, freezing it, then thawing it again before eating it. The chicken is the lowest quality available, both meat and batter, and is borderline inedible without an oven/air fryer. And that brownie? Disgusting. It's like a gooey pile of chalky slop designed more for the dopamine hit of 'having dessert' rather than actually tasting like food. No, I don't like it at all. Rather than Hungry Man! I think they should be called, (I'm) Hungry. Man! (This sucks)

>>21427419
Wrong again

>>21425259 (OP)
I think someone took a shit in the top middle, I’m not sure that meal is sanitary.

>>21425259 (OP)
I wish mods would ban people for blatant off topic/troll posts.
Reheating freezer meals doesn't belong on a cooking forum anon.

>>21427554
hello mr retard it's FOOD & cooking

>>21427554
If you think people talking about food and cooking is off topic in /ck/, I almost have to wonder about what it is that you would consider to be ON topic.

>>21427626
Blatant troll posts about microwaved freezer slop are neither about food or cooking

>>21427630
>Blatant troll posts about microwaved freezer slop are neither about food or cooking
Have fun with that.

>>21427554
How is food off topic you stupid fuck?

>>21425259 (OP)
Did they start using lower grade chicken recently? These the fried chicken hungry man (cooked in the fucking oven) was always a great meal. Until about a year ago and the chicken got sort of different.

>>21425997
I think they just started using lower quality chicken, about the time they switched to the white trays. The chicken used to be better

>>21427554
I thought you killed yourself, Bourdain?

>>21426000
Thats a LOT of ketchup for that tiny portion of chips!

Hungry, man? How about a fresh hearty Manwich?

>>21427630
This is the best place on the internet to discuss microwave freezer slop. For me it’s HungryDeenz and an ice cold Coca Cola!

>>21425275
He's a pedo

>>21428388
>>21428639
are there MOAR memes like this? If so I need all of them

>>21428659
damn I've been lurking /ck/ for like 2 years or more and never came across these, thanks lad

>>21425284

OP, all of this. Any grocery deli is going to have good rotisserie or fried chicken, and a tossed together simple cole slaw or salad bag for a cold side or baked beans or steamed microwave veggies will suffice. Idahoan red skin instant mashed are top tier and ready in 5 mins, as are the ready to eat rices. My local deli has smoked ribs, smoked pulled pork, and mojo pork ready to eat. Their beer battered onion rings are crispy even when you get home and warm them in the microwave.

If you are trying to indicate that hungry man is convenient and tasty from the freezer for a no planned dinner, I dare say there are 4 or more national brands far better with "bowls" freezer dinner or pies that give you a better experience, especially if you do them in the oven or crisp them in the skillet.

>>21425259 (OP)
One time i thought the applesauce was gravy and mixed with the potato. It was alright.

>>21425588
I’ve always been partial to the classic turkey breast meal (even the weird dark meat slice)

>>21428375
Wouldn’t surprise me if they did, quality of the meals has gone downhill and I stopped eating even the occasional one (for nostalgia) several years ago

>>21425460
the novelty of it is enticing but the end result never makes good on that. I try one every once in a blue moon and it's just not great.
