It was the vilest most disgusting thing ever. The experience started with this watery discharge from the chicken microwaving it (as a rule I skip the microwave instructions on everything and go straight to the conventional oven, but hey, I already said I was hungry!).
So I drained off the watery stuff and poured on the gravy, which was bubbling away like lava in the microwave.
First of all, I don't know what they fed the chicken. It was completely tasteless, and had the texture of soft rubber. No amount of sauce or pepper could make it better. Even the filling couldn't fight the bird.
Next was the salt. Oh man was it excessive. I felt like rinsing off the chicken and boiling it to leech it out. I ended up washing my mouth out instead and sending the bird to the old garbage disposal.
Now I read an article in the Times the other day on how food manufacturers were using excessive salt to hide the otherwise metallic tang of processed food. Bloomberg is trying to cut down that practice and perhaps a legal face-off is brewing. I say more power to Bloomberg if he can keep crap like this off the shelves. I looked at the back of the cover at the salt rating - 22% of your rda of sodium and that was excluding the gravy.
Yekh!
