BBQ Steak with Red Potatoes

I cooked this frozen meal following the microwave instructions.

The beef was nice and tender, but it was a little grisly. There weren't a lot of pieces of beef, either (maybe 6 pieces). The corn tasted fine, but the potatoes were mushy and tasted overcooked.

The BBQ sauce tasted more just like a sweet sauce rather than a BBQ sauce. There wasn't a lot of the sauce, but that could be a good thing because it might have been too sweet with more of the sauce.

After I ate this meal, I still had to go find something else to eat because it wasn't very satisfying.

DiGiorno Honey BBQ Wyngz

I tried a frozen DiGiorno three meat pizza that came with a side of honey BBQ chicken wings ("wyngz"). When you open the box, there are three packages -- one with the pizza, one with the wyngz, and one with the wyngz sauce.

I followed the instructions on the box for cooking both the pizza and chicken at the same time. The pizza came out looking fine. The pizza sauce was a smooth sauce, and it was kind of bland and salty. The pepperonis on the pizza were also a little too salty. The crust was a OK - it was a thick, soft crust, and it was a little bit sweet.

There were only six "wyngz", and they were very dry on the inside. The breading on the chicken was also very thick and not crispy, and they didn't taste that great. The honey BBQ sauce was OK and tasted very sweet like other honey BBQ sauces. I dipped the chicken in the honey BBQ sauce rather than pouring the sauce on top since it would have probably been overwhelmingly sweet if I poured the sauce on top.

Does DiGiornos pizza taste like a delivery pizza? No, it definitely tastes like a frozen pizza, and it doesn't even taste like a crappy delivery pizza.

REVIEW – Crazy Cuizine Korean Inspired BBQ Recipe Chicken from Costco (Frozen)

When we were at Costco, we saw the frozen Korean (inspired) BBQ (recipe) chicken and decided to try some. The box came with 2 bags of the chicken and 2 bags of the BBQ sauce.

This is how trying the chicken played out:

First bite: "This doesn't taste Korean, tastes more like generic American Asian. The chicken texture also feels kind of like... shrimp?"

Next couple of bites: "This isn't very spicy, but it tastes all right."

Final bites: "It's a little spicier with more of the sauce... but it is way too sweet... I'm not going to get this again."

So it basically just tastes like other microwavable Asian foods that are too sweet, and the taste gets tiring after a few bite.. and I won't be buying these again.
