Do you mean, "Where did you grow up as a child that might make some frozen food now represent comfort food to you, now?" Because that isn't the same thing as just "loving" frozen food. If that is what you meant, it was a small Midwestern town which was lucky enough to get government cheese during the leanest times. That was a long time ago, PP. |
Agree |
DP. Wow, indeed. Do you not understand the meaning of hospitality, which is about your guests' comfort, not your own? The class snobbery on this thread is the only thing I've seen that is gross. |
Here's the list. What do you have trouble pronouncing? Puree, or parmesan? Stouffer's Lasagna Tomato Puree (water, Tomato Paste) Cooked Beef Water Dry Curd Cottage Cheese (cultured Skim Milk, Enzymes) Modified Cornstarch Natural Flavors Salt Soy Sauce (water, Wheat, Soybeans, Salt) Wheat Flour Sugar Spices. Semolina Wheat Flour Low-moisture Part-skim Mozzarella Cheese (cultured Part-skim Milk, Salt, Enzymes) Parmesan Cheese (cultured Milk, Salt, Enzymes) |
I agreed with the bolded. |
|
So what's the ingredient that is either trash, or that you cannot pronounce? Still waiting on that.
I don't get my self-worth from looking down on other people in different circumstances. To me, that is trash. |
| I love that this thread is still going! I like my homemade lasagna best, but it takes hours to make everything from scratch and takes a million pots/pans/bowls like a PP mentioned. We do keep a stouffers lasagna in the freezer for the days where we don't want to cook. It is much better than any "easy" lasagna recipe I've tried. |
Trash is inviting guest over and serving cheap frozen lasagna. Buy a nice lasagna from an Italian store |
|
Ah. You're one of those people who buys by the brand, then, not by the product's own qualities?
Fair enough. That's one way to do it. |
| /\ Just adding that frozen cake made with oil should be just fine. And more importantly, what the birthday kid wants. Which is funfetti not mouthfeel. I’d happily eat it if it made him happy! |

Okay. Please read, since it isn't the brand that is the problem:
What's the ingredient in Stouffer's that is either trash, or that you cannot pronounce? Still waiting on that. |
Thanks! I bought Annie’s box mix because he wanted the bunny box. Now I’m reading this brand of cake is dry. Does anyone who bakes know if I can just add a tablespoon of butter to the mix, or maybe a dollop of Greek yogurt? More milk than the box calls for? Would I have to add more leavening? |
Op here. I don’t think that Stouffers is “trash” and the ingredient list looks ok to me. If I were choosing lasagna for me, I might want the vegetable lasagna at an Italian store. But I’m hosting and the guests like meat and I think the Stouffers is a safe bet. I don’t have a problem accommodating guests to help ensure they have a good time and have a good meal, especially when they are traveling to see us. |
That is a bold face lie. This sounds disgusting and like it has zero flavor. I’ll take the Stouffer’s over this garbage any day. |
