| Tasted like crap! |
After mentally noting that the term Margherita translates to 'a pizza topped with tomatoes, cheese, and traditionally also basil' and not that wonderful drink. I elected to purchase one of these meals, anyway, at a local grocery for $3.94. I mean who could resist 'Chicken tender-kins with angel hair pasta, burned garlic and tomato sauce all swimming in a balsamic vinaigrette soup. [Note: I took some liberties with the wording, but you get the point].
Nutritionally,
this meal really shines! Calories were a mere 280 while the
cholesterol came in at 35 mg and the sodium was a measly 530 mg. For
a frozen TV dinner, these are very good numbers, (and also part of
the reason why they cost more when compare to Banquet offering you
might get for a buck)!
Taking
the subliminal title hint to heart, I prepared the meal while sipping on a
few true margaritas. It wasn't a problem. The directions were pretty easy, even after my
third drink when things began to get a little fuzzy. Take
the meal out of the box, nuke for about four minutes and dump into
the provided sauce bowl. Yes sir! Even a drunk could do that!!
Unlike
most of the meals produced by Healthy Choice, this was a most horrible offering, even for someone in an inebriated state! Most
importantly, the pasta was very mushy. That was a sure
turnoff. And, while the chicken was tender and moist, I found myself gagging and so dumped the whole meal into the trash!
Scored this one a 4! I'd eat it, if I was dying and had no other choice!
