BANQUET MEGA MEALS TASTE TEST

[@rochellestalans5476]

Banquet brand originated in Moberly, Missouri in 1953 as part of FM Stamper Co. I worked there in their quality test lab during Junior college, around 1956. At that time, they made pot pies, frozen dinners, boxes of fried chicken, some dinners and some fruit pies. This was before microwaves, so they were cooked in your oven which is so much better. They were in foil containers. The company started with whole chickens and did all the processing. They had an assembly plant in Kirksville, missouri, where it was all put together and frozen. we were sent samples directly off the lines, which were rigorously checked for bacteria, ecoli and moisture content. They also produced rendered chicken fat which was shipped to the Netherlands for the baking industry and powdered egg whites, which were used in cake mixes. When they sold to ConAgra in 1980, the quality and taste suffered. They sent more samples than needed and we employees got the excess. I ate a lot of pot pies in those days. I am now 86 and hate what has happened to the brand, but still eat the occasional pot pie.

[@talentkid234]

So fun fact. Back in 2019, I had surgery. This surgery meant it was close to impossible to sit up or roll out of bed. Consequently, I was also told to not have any solid food.

We add hunks of angus beef, queso and applewood smoked bacon. And just when you think it's maxed out, we melt on the cheese. Get a load of that..."

I was raised on a tight budget (we weren’t poor, but were working class extreme frugal) & we avoided frozen meals b/c they really aren’t the best value at all. So I never got used to them & they taste awful usually. But now as a chronically ill person with a GI disorder, I too sometimes just need a frozen meal due to exhaustion and am always on the hunt for ones that taste good & won’t kill my guts. There aren’t many lol but Amy’s enchiladas, frozen fried chicken chunks from most brands - but not nuggets!, Ling Ling gyoza/potstickers (boil instead of micro, but quick & easy), and frozen puff pastry appetizers if I take like 3 dairy pills & eat perfectly for the day before & after lol…

Genuinely look forward to a plate of airfried frozen taters & chicken at the end of the day. And of course a good sauce elevates it by a lot. I also have an airfryer with a quite large cooking area so I can make them all at once. Maybe I'll try a frozen meal just for masochistic curiosity, but I'm afraid my roommates would start worrying about my mental health if I showed up one day with them.

I eat the mega meals/bowls every week. I never go by what the packaging says for the most part on how to cook them. I did once, and it came out like your salisbury steak did. If you decide to do these again, microwave it for 4 mins, then take the package off and cook for 1 more min. For most things, anyways not every meal. Gets it right every time for me. There are some I believe you'd enjoy much more. The mega meal chicken and mac and cheese (not the bowl) have the best chicken I've had in a frozen dinner. The chicken fieta mega bowl is also very good. The chicken has no breading and doesn't get mushy.

[@StarkMaximum]

Different microwaves require different times. I only realized somewhat recently that my microwave is a lower wattage than the average meal assumes you have, so I have to add about 30 seconds or so to each thing I microwave at the very least.

[@paleoberd]

My personal go-to mega bowl is the dynamite penne with meatballs, nothing with breaded chicken because it just gets so soggy

[@bryanmoberg8408]

for the chicken/mashed potato bowl I'll use toss in some extra cheese as well, makes a huge difference. Some salt/pepper, and maybe a little butter in the mashed potatoes and corn in the backyard bbq also helps a lot. I love both when it comes to cheap simple dinners. And I've found the pizza soup works better as a dip than by itself, kind of like the pizza dip Ian did a couple years ago. Pair it with some chips or garlic bread/breadsticks or something and it makes a lot more sense.

listening to you read the back of the non-mega banquet box flashed me back to watching your original banquet video when i was in college… memories…

[@AlX-Ander]

Now hold on just a gosh darn minute. You've made pizza dip before. You're the only person who's ever made pizza dip. And you didn't think to dip something in this.

[@KirbyCap86]

Well that isn't included in the meal nor does it suggest that you should and he judged it accordingly.

[@Don_cheedle]

I hate to break it to you bro but pizza dip has been a thing for ages

@@Don_cheedle I hate to break it to you bro but they were making what is called "an exaggeration for comedic effect".

I loved the dude dancing in the tv in the background, I watched it longer then I should have 🤣😂🤣

brutalfoods is a sight for sore eyes, brings me joy in these dreary days

[@robertschnobert9090]

I watched the auto-dubbed German version for a few seconds. Crazy technology. 🌈

I love the outro where Ian just scoots away like the end of Pee-wee's Playhouse

[@wowowhaaaaa]

You are my new favorite youtuber this is hilarious lmao

[@ZensMeatSlab]

These reviews are some of my favorite videos on the internet. Keep em coming (but only if your stomach can handle it)

[@dpo2078]

Careful Ian! Everybody knows, if you eat too many mega meals, you’ll become a mega man!

[@kevinsteele6206]

The “bowel” comment was an instant sub and like. 🤣🤣

[@famedgaming1865]

I love how your sound effects are so iconic that I hear them on other channels as well. Thanks for being you Ian.

[@Xxsoda_drinker_pro_fanxX]

I heard the plop sound on another channel recently and it caught me off guard.

[@mippa5830]

I love how he's slowly breaking character.

[@DevonCosmos]

It has been ages since I've sat down to enjoy one of these videos. I've missed your face, Brutal.

[@unknownbandit6509]

now THIS is brutalmoose, a certified BRUTALMOOSE CLASSIC

[@derpherpblerp]

Playing Händel's Wassermusik at the mac'n cheese was a sign of the incoming smoosh

[@ctvaughan6623]

Ian is the only creator that can make reviews of frozen meals I’m never going to eat entertaining, and I love it

[@BigZ482]

BrutalMoose videos are a highlight of my month. Your editing is so off the wall goofy. I love it. 😂

[@treborhowell4572]

Watching Ian's evolution on KZbin has been wild but I've been glad to been on the ride for almost a decade. Not all heroes wear capes, mine wears a beanie. 😅

[@carythesnail]

This is the coziest, stimulating, most brutal show

[@Ultracity6060]

I ate a lot of tv dinners as a kid, but never since. These videos wake up a part of my brain I forgot was there, like when you open up new electronics and realize they smell exactly like a TMNT figure.

[@teacozy]

PLEASE SIR, WHERE DID YOU BUY YOUR WATER BOTTLE every time we watch these together, my husband sadly mumbles about how he wants that water bottle

[@tamocha39469]

It looks like a swell bottle or something similar

[@Monikitty24]

Ive only ever watched these tv dinner videos from brutalmoose, idk why. It just happens

[@aangelkin5553]

i started watching your videos in lockdown where my mental health was probably at its worst. every single one of them kind of felt like fever dreams that i would have woken up to at 3am as a child who had fallen asleep in the living room, but they distracted me and, for a while, made me happy... thank you for that. i'm doing much better now and i just wanted to admit that you were a part of why :')

[@MysteriousKammm]

When the world needed him the most he finally returned!

[@thesquaremonger]

As a single guy the mega meals were always a solid option when I'm feeling lazy, those $1 cheapo ones just taste like pure sadness. They do nothing more than keep you alive until better times come.

[@jaretchapman265]

A week into the worst stomach virus of my life and youtube decides to tell me that BrutalMoose is mass reviewing banquet meals. This algorithm has it out for me lol

[@mariaantoniajosephajohanna]

How dare youtube hide this from me for 15 seconds

[@PhilDietz]

Theres a 2 piece chicken and mashed potatoes meal. Its awesome when you can get them for $4. But the chicken one is sometimes $6.99. A box of frozen banquet chicken sells for $16.99 around here, so theres some perspective.

[@meganmarts5769]

I am a fan of TV dinners and VHS so naturally I'm a fan of brutal moose

[@S4B3R117]

In order to get the full effect you have to be a depressed divorced single man

[@Zalachai]

As a mega man myself, I quite fancy the mega meals. They let me feel mega full and refill my energy containers.

[@michaelpitcher2820]

I was already laughing my butt off by 3:28. The editing is always so so good. You are a source of joy. Thank you for these.

[@beau-2222]

This is wild. I've been binge watching all the old Brutal Foods recently.

[@AAAxShinobi797]

Ian’s editing is always set to fever dream 😂 I love it
