[@alaskaforever3879]

@@TheWolfePit Im just letting you know, its clickbaity and sensationalized and it pisses off your real fans who appreciate your sincerity

[@TheWolfePit]

@@alaskaforever3879 In my opinion posting misinformation on food labels is 'shocking' and though not in this instance it 'could' be harmful to someone's health. For instance, if a nutrion label stated '300mg sodium' per serving and it should have stated '1300mg sodium, it would be detrimental to someone on a sodium restricted diet wouldnt it? Wouldn't that be considered a 'shocking mistake'?

[@Oheeeoh]

After watching dozens, maybe hundreds of your videos, I almost always nail the number you give the food before you give us the number. Today I nailed them both. :)

[@anon7596]

Marie Calenders is usually a pretty safe bet. My go to tv dinner brand. But either way, we gotta stop eating this stuff. No more formed meat slurry concoctions people ! lol

[@virginiathomasakaicedragon6579]

The Marie Callender's broccoli looked good nice and green. My mom used to make something like this, but being I live in MN we had it with cream of mushroom soup and mom cooked the chicken herself and pulled it apart with her fingers

[@bethenecampbell6463]

These are both pretty decent choices in the single serving size. The family size versions take so long in the oven that you might as well cook from scratch and have real chicken.

[@sjmoorez]

This is NOT what I meant about low quality high turn episodes. Bravo. Love to see more of these comparisons. I can't remember if you did the Rao's frozen entrees or not but I think they are pretty top notch consistently.

[@fallingcanyon]

That is my favorite Stouffer's! But the "chicken" quality has gotten pretty bad

[@trishc8390]

The turkey in their turkey tetrazzini has definitely gone down.

[@maricampari3970]

I had this for supper last night and you are correct. It's still pretty good but the chicken is like canned quality now. :(

[@nicktaylor2657]

I wonder if it's a meat slurry concoction ☺️

[@geminiecricket4798]

Are you sure it is chicken?

[@MrBakedDaily]

What chicken

[@__1201]

I get the Marie Calender's Cheesy Chicken and Rice on ocassion. I put a few slices of extra cheese in it to make it extra cheesy and I put it in my toaster oven. Delicious.

[@lancerevell5979]

When I make my own "Chicken and Rice", I use white rice, Hormel White&Dark Chicken, Salt and Pepper. Nothing else. Clean and simple, the way I like it. Being disabled and mobility-challenged I can't go to a store and stand up to cut&cook whole chicken. The canned Hormels is good, real muscle-fiber meat. Not a faux-meat slurry concoction.

[@MajorSeventh]

I do the same, but I add some canned or jarred chicken gravy.

[@andrewbatts7678]

One of those is about a full meal for me, along with a 16 oz glass of whole milk and several slices of buttered bread

[@chorobes]

You have to take the plastic off these even if it says not to and just put some foil in its place otherwise the tops always taste weird like chemicals from the plastic

[@markiangooley]

So tempted to buy a 2-pound bag of rice at Dollar Tree and the cheapest chicken parts or whole chicken I can find… but I am almost carnivore now, so no. I think of that song from the old musical “Oklahoma!” when I hear about meat slurry, and parody it as “The Slurry Makes You Cringe A Lot.”

[@rivahcat8247]

Banquet also has a chicken/rice/broccoli individual dinner which isn't bad. I've had the MC individual dinner and actually preferred the Banquet!

[@brandyboo]

I used to buy a lot of Marie Callender's when I was younger. If I did get a frozen dinner it would definitely be one of those

[@emilybilbow4990]

I’ve made a homemade version of this… rice, bag of frozen veggies, block of cheese (shredded) and I used leftover chicken but I’m sure you could use ham or whatever meat you like… I used cream of chicken soup but I don’t like mushrooms (use what you like) cook rice adding a little salt abd pepper, a few minutes before it’s done add veggies, when they are cooked add soup and most of cheese as well as meat… heat through, ladle into bowls or plates… sprinkle with cheese… eat.. ❤️

[@goaway3717]

That Stouffer's meal was my go to for a long time, either the family sized for a big meal or several smaller meals or the smaller size for a single meal I loved that one. Some times I'd add some shredded cheese to it a the end and mix it together to give it more cheese taste or just have it as is. Personally that Marie Callender's meal would never be bought by me because I loath broccoli and won't have it in my house. Neither is on my menu today since the vast majority of frozen or canned meals have too much sodium for my health to take any longer but I don't doubt if sodium wasn't an issue I'd still go through periods where that particular Stouffer's meal would be hitting my table multiple times per month if not per week.

[@KurtisRader]

I don't think I've tried either of these but love the Stouffer's Chicken ala King which is very similar. It is my favorite Stouffer's dish and I always buy a few when they are on sale. The key in my experience is to thaw these types of items overnight in the refrigerator and reduce the cooking time accordingly.

[@twocvbloke]

I'm going to guess the topping on the bake tasted like plastic because it was covered with plastic that let off some lovely chemicals that imparted flavours and fortifications of industrial grade polymers... :P

[@wolf-_-demoness6842]

im a big stouffers fan when it comes to frozen meals. higher quality than the other brands imo

[@BusStopProductions.]

First Comment.

[@kbtriplesix]

yeah but its owned by nestle which isnt a good company by any means

[@Poodleinacan]

​@@kbtriplesix fr Supporting Nestlé is like supporting fracking.

[@mindlessmeat4055]

Great video, but I am noticing it is hard to find the specific ingredient, in this case chicken, in the list. Is it possible to put an arrow or something when you reference something specific in that list. I think I might try to make a homemade version of these. It looks great.

[@dotar9586]

I noticed that as well. Had to pause to find the chicken. I wasn't going to comment, but since you brought it up...

[@rossallan3585]

How is anything that takes 85 minutes convenience food/a ready meal?!

[@jerryferren9018]

I watched these videos and thought, "I can make that & for a lot less $$$ !". So, I will. Thanks for the idea.

[@jhill4874]

60 minutes plus another 25 minutes? You can almost make it from scratch for that amount of time!

[@tonyx3768]

We had the Stouffer’s one for supper tonight. Tried it out for the first time and I would say it was better than I expected.

[@pokelover66544]

[@darcyjorgensen5808]

That Stouffers used to be my favourite. (BTW, you’re lucky if you get four servings out of it.) Quality has gone down, and the price is through the roof. More like $15-$18 here in NorCal.

[@ThommyofThenn]

INITIAL OUT-OF BOX APPEARANCE: Marie Calendars wins this. BAKED APPEARANCE: DITTO FLAVOUR: sounds like the Stouffers has ok taste but the crumb topping is not great The Marie C has better flavour despite being FMSC. VALUE: both very low and you could make a way better version by yourself. WINNER: Marie Callenders

[@surlybob]

He's eating the Stouffers wrong. You've gotta mix it all together

Sup Larry, great review, never knew Stouffer's made this, I did have Marie's at one of my daughters house month or maybe two ago? They served with a roasted chicken thigh on top, asparagus on side, chimichurri sauce, I was fooled lol, saw boxes in garbage when cleaning up, they did the oven, rest was from scratch, I couldn't believe it because she picks on youngest daughter about processed food 🤷, husband had at work and liked it so I guess with fresh food makes bigger difference, even a disabled retired chef has hard time cooking rice, well I do lol, so was shocked her husband introduced this, love your work bro👊, tyvm tc 🍔🥩🥘

[@jeanniebell9493]

Great catch on the protein discrepancy on the MC product. Hmm, surprised Stouffers looked ok, but didn't sound very appetizing. MC looked better w/ more broccoli, I think I'd choose MC!

[@michelestellar7725]

In my whole 75 years have I EVER EATING THIS KIND OF THING. That is why I bam 75 with no diabetes, no heart disease, normal cholesterol, no scrips and maybe a check up every few years. blood pressure any 25 year old would envy. I know people do not listen, they do what is easy. But think of your budget, ten dollars can buy a LOT of fresh foods. And the carbs are cheap fillers that damage your body. I also grow a nice just right size garden and this year was a bumper crop of a REAL food that is one of the best things you can eat, pumpkins. And this is going on November and I am still picking. Take ten dollars and buy seeds for next year and cook something fresh without sugars and carb fillers. It is one thing to live and quite another to live healthy, and diet determines which it will be. You are what you eat.

Chicken slurry chunks are typically more appetizing than other meat slirry chunks, probably because of being accustomed to mcnuggets and BK classic chicken sandwiches. Chicken slurry chunks have been part of my life since i was a baby. Other meat slurry products, aside from hotdogs and bologna, just weren't really common to me as a kid, so they arent as normal to me as an adult
