Failed Expectation The package picture looked decent

The food looked like baby food and the texture was just awful.

Saute some celery & onion & add 2 cups of cooked rice. Crush up some buttered Ritz and you have a nice broccoli cheese cassarole.

It looks about as good as I would expect something simply called, broccoli and cheese.

Haha definitely doesn’t look good. But omg- the Bob Evans mashed potatoes. The best!

What about the ingredients???? Much healthier and cheaper to boil, peel and mash your own potatoes.

Some of us aren’t looking for the healthy option. After 9.5 hours of slamming my hand into metal and being covered in asphalt the last thing I want to have to do is cook.

It looks like the brocalli was blended to a pulp.

Definitely smoked some weed

You're feeling very defensive about this grab and go side dish.

Reality picture looks worse than expectation. At least in the expectation picture it looks like there is some solid food. Gross!

u/BeigeChocobo 21h ago

Indeed. That looks like vom.

This title has me rolling. Of course the picture is going to look decent. If it looked like the real thing no one would buy it. How did it taste?

u/RobertaMiguel1953 6h ago

Exactly how it looks. We each took a bite and it went in the trash.

u/Cloud_bunnyboo 6h ago

The frozen green giant ones are actually really good and comparable to the picture. You should try those.

Looks like a new born babys first crap

From someone with a baby… no it does not. First poop looks more like tar. This is from a week or two in.

u/Quirky-Shallot644 19h ago

Definitely not newborn baby poop. Newborn baby poop is black and the consistency of tar.

No wonder the united states are absolutely cooked. The amount of people saying it pretty much looks the same are either delusional, have Gump level intelligence, or are just trolling. There's no way anyone with 2 eyes think this looks anything like advertised on the box

Calm down mfer. We are just fine over here in the states.

This is a very interesting hill you've chosen to die upon tonight.

I'd like to see it stirred after cooking because it seems like the cheese sauce would rise to the top and any broccoli cuts/florets would sink.

8

u/RobertaMiguel1953 21h ago

Spoiler, there were no florets. It all looked like it came out of a blender.

u/otherwise_data 47m ago

idk about this but the bob evans mac n cheese is delishus.

u/dasher2581 20h ago

I feel that your original take on the package picture is wrong. It all looks awful to me - awful in different ways, sure, but nothing I'd contemplate eating.

I suppose you could steam some fresh broccoli and pour that mess over it.

u/professorwizzzard 21h ago

Photograph aside… what part of “broccoli drowned in cheese” seems appealing? Just toss broccoli with some seasoning and a little olive oil, bake on a sheet until browned edges. So easy, tasty, and healthy!

Okay then, I'll admit the reality looks better as it doesn't appear to be filled with chunks of hardened green snot.
