Banquet Bacon Cheeddar Patty Mega Meal - WHAT ARE WE EATING??

[@thedotconnector_8836]

You've often been there for me (and I'm sure lots of people) on dark lonely nights when the weight of the world rests heavy on the shoulders, fellow Wolf. I hope you feel better soon. I've been watching your videos from pretty much the beginning and we, the people, appreciate you very much!

I don’t understand how foods can have a whole days allotment of sodium, and then you taste it and there’s no salt taste and you feel like you need to add salt. But you also feel like if you do, you’ll die.

[@WayStedYou]

and then heaps of people pile on their own salt from a shaker that is far more than most of the sodium in pre made food

[@ColtonGrundy]

​@@WayStedYou i never understood why people care about how much salt OTHER people use 🤣

[@24framedavinci39]

The sodium comes in way of preservatives. Not all sodium are created equal. You don't get a salty taste from those sodium compounds.

[@KevinWindsor1971]

People have no concept of what a milligram actually is. 1 gram is one thousand milligrams. Using my digital scale: 1 gram of fine table salt is approximately 3 quarters of a quarter teaspoon. So 1250 milligrams would equal about 1/4 teaspoon. Salt is made from sodium, but sodium itself is not a salt. It is a metal. You need 500 mg a day for your body to function properly. Notice the ingredients for the Salisbury Steak lists salt as less than 2%. With that tiny amount mixed in, you would never be able to taste it.

Wow. I used to watch your channel back when you started the “What are we eating?” series. So glad I came across your channel again & now I can binge watch all the episodes I missed 🥲

[@stapuft]

I had one of these a few nights ago, it was entirely edible....that's about the best praise I could give it. I did cook it in the oven instead of the microwave, and I completely removed the covering on the taters instead of just spitting it so they had a CHANCE of going crisp..... It KINDA worked, but I needed to give it an extra few minutes and a pat of butter to do so. Ended up making 2 sandwiches with plain toast and used the taters to stop up the "cheese" sauce. It was edible. Unlike loads of banquet products.

[@tb7771]

I like their turkey and gravy and salisbury steaks and gravy. I'm 53 and when I was growing up we would sometimes eat them. Nostalgia maybe or dead taste buds?

Only thing of banquet that will never change, is there turkey meals, and chicken/turkey pot pies. I love them things, there like crack, yeah they are probably horrific, but a good treat every once in a while. The crust is my favorite of them, never really enjoyed Marie Callender’s crust, although there pot pies are more filling.

[@boxelderinitiative3897]

​​@@Vtec_Just_Kicked_In_YoTheir pot pies are still relatively affordable and they are so fucking good every time. It is so rare with products nowadays but every flavor is good, you just pick which pot pie flavor you're feeling and as long as you poke those holes in the top deep enough and go maybe thirty seconds less than the directions on the microwave they are perfect every time. The level of quality control and repeatable delicious flavor is unprecedented for processed food

[@davesskillet9235]

Maltodextrin another name for sugar. Maltodextrin has a high glycemic index value of 185-105, so it should be used sparingly by diabetic and/or hypoglycemic individuals.

[@markiangooley]

Maltodextrin is basically starch that’s been partly broken up. It’s almost like eating glucose: it’s broken up quickly. I haven’t tried using it to raise my blood glucose quickly when I’ve taken too much insulin: I still use actual glucose for that.

[@LatitudeSky]

Look carefully at sweetener packets like Splend, Nutrasweet, NeoTame, even Sweet & Low. ALL of them have maltodextrin as the actual first ingredient, or maybe second. So your average no-call sweetener is mostly maltodextrin. Sugar in effect.

[@DOSBoxMom]

I've eaten that particular Banquet Mega Meal within the past month, and it didn't seem that bad to me. Agreed that the potatoes were the best part: not at all soupy like frozen-entree mashed potatoes usually are, and they went well with a little catsup & salt. The BBQ cheese sauce was at least a little different from the usual brown gravy with Salisbury steak, and the overall effect was "I want to be a bacon cheeseburger when I grow up". I didn't attempt to consume the leftover cheese sauce after finishing the meat and the potatoes, but the dog and the cat both loved it.

[@TheDarkSkorpion]

I would never do that. I love my dog, and don't want him to die because I let him eat imitation cheese with imitation bacon with extra salt and fat.

good to see your still kickin man. apparently the guy from super size me just died in his 50s. some of this food is no joke

You know he died early because he was an alcoholic, right? Even in the movie when the doctor is baffled at his symptoms, he's baffled because they're symptoms that come from heavy drinking, not fast food. They cut around that to push the narrative.

That's true of any production facility. Whether they make food or cars or medicine or bills you get in the mail or whatever, and guaranteed someone saw a problem and kept on going because stopping the process was frowned upon, too much of a hassle, or they figure someone else down the line will catch it. And the people down the line figure quality has already been approved so they don't bother. So nobody cares.

It's sad because back in the day Banquet cranked out some pretty good frozen dinners but I guess they've gone the TVP route. On the box you see a fair amount of bacon, did they forget to put it in the one you bought? I don't buy any frozen foods when I'm back home in Ohio visiting, to me they just taste like 'air' crap lol.

Has your Dollar Store been lacking recently? I went to the only dollar store (not Dollar General) nearby and it was pathetic! They had nothing fresh, barely any frozen stuff and I found some packages of that fake crabmeat which was kind of novel since I never got that before that wasn't in the refrigerated section. I'm on the west coast in WA state so just wondering how things are in other states.

[@viktorakhmedov3442]

Yeah Dollar Tree is in serious financial trouble because Family Dollar sucks and they should have let Dollar General buy it. Dollar General is in trouble because they ripped out cash registers at thousands of stores and installed self-scans and with 1 employee working at any given time, theft went through the roof. So now all of those machines are closed and the 1 person who is also stocking and cleaning and doing everything else needs to check out a line of a dozen people that meanders through the cluttered mess of a store. God forbid they hire more than one employee.
