President's choice : General tao chicken


Manufacturer : President's choice

Product : General tao chicken

Contents : Breaded seasoned chicken, sweet and spicy chinese sauce, vegetable fried rice

Cooking time : 5 minutes in a microwave oven

Rating : 4 / 5

Comments : A nice one, I liked it. However the "vegetables" in the rice are only peas and omelette. The chicken and sauce are good, maybe too few compared to the quantity of rice in the box. Still a bit expensive though, knowing that the whole collection had a price decrease over the last few months, and why is this one never on sale ?

President's choice : Meat lasagna


Manufacturer : President's choice

Product : Meat Lasagna

Contents : Meat (beef) lasagna, mozarella, cottage and parmesan cheeses

Cooking time : 8 minutes in a microwave oven

Rating : 3 / 5

Comments : Despite a different packaging, this one looks exactly the same as Daniel's contribution (see January 18th). I have reduced the cooking time to 5 minutes as well, and I do not want to think what this would look like with 3 more minutes. Neither great nor bad, a forgettable lunch.

Swanson : Chicken nuggets


Product : Chicken nuggets

Contents : Breaded chicken nuggets, french fries, corn, brownie.

Cooking time : 4 minutes in a microwave oven

Rating : 4 / 5

Comments : Quite junk food-ish, but still good. Although I am glad the piece of corn did not manage to escape in the brownie. I still find it odd the way the desert is places in the trailer.

Swanson : Turkey


Manufacturer : Swanson

Product : Turkey

Contents : Seasoned turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, apple cranberry dessert.

Cooking time : 4 minutes in a microwave oven

Rating : 4 / 5

Comments : The turkey with gravy was really good, and the dessert as well. However the green beans were totally tasteless and watery (a little something on them would not have hurt at all).
