Hungry-Man 2: More TV Dinner Reviews

this is an ordinary man honey i'm home i made dinner this is a hungry man hello everyone and welcome back to brutal foods i'm your host chef ian brutal foods i'm finally back and i'm stronger than ever [Applause] i know it's been a while since my last food video and the honest explanation for that is that i just didn't want to make food videos but today i woke up and i just had the urge so here we are earlier today i actually ran out to the store to pick up a few items to review i didn't have anything in mind i just kind of wandered around to see what caught my eye eventually i ended up in the freezer section which is a place that i don't visit very often these days but it's there that i came across an old friend or maybe it's an old enemy it really depends on how you look at it and that's how i ended up with three more hungry man meals each of these is something that wasn't covered in the previous video we've got country fried chicken we've got roasted carved white meat turkey and to finish it off we've got double chicken bowls a boneless fried chicken plus mac and cheese sauce i haven't had a hungry man meal since the last time i made one of these videos and these all look equally as frightening as those previous three this is what i'm having for lunch today these three meals but let's break it down one by one we're gonna start with the country fried chicken just kind of feels like the safest one out of the three you know so here we got the hungry man country fried chicken dinner breaded white meat chicken patties with gravy mashed potatoes green beans and sweet apples i feel like i vaguely remember the sweet apples from a previous hungry man meal it looks non-threatening i mean it's just going to be fried chicken seems safe it's hard to mess up right now it looks like they include a little map of your meal just in case you get a little lost along the way there's the green bean forest the savory mashed potato mountain the two white meat chicken patties with country gravy parking lot uh located next to the scenic sweet apple lake and that's just one of the pleasant neighborhoods located in hungry man town you know honestly it doesn't look half bad i mean it might end up looking a little more pathetic once it's warmed up but as it stands it does look like a pretty filling meal which one's the mashed potatoes it looks like this one down here on the left looks like the mashed potatoes but also the chicken patties look like they're in mashed potatoes oh we got a map we got a map okay the chicken patties are actually in the gravy that's not mashed potatoes that is gravy i don't know that i'd say that it's the best looking frozen dinner that i've ever laid eyes upon but doesn't look too bad we're using the microwave today remove film from dessert slit film over chicken cook on high four and a half minutes carefully remove brownie with a fork set aside i find it a little strange that i gotta remove the brownie wait a minute there's no brownie in here film removed now we need to make a careful slit right over the chin [Music] complete [Music] i feel like the light on this microwave is extremely dim can you see the food are you able to see the food in there can you guys see the food i'm trying to focus on the food but all i can really see are my uh washboard abs [Music] i can smell the dessert i definitely smell the cinnamon apples but i can smell everything else too well something savory at least i think the potatoes uh stir potatoes and recover film they definitely have a uh um texture to them well they're unfinished i can't judge them now because they're unfinished but they uh feel bad no no there's a lot of waiting when i do this i forgot about all the waiting it feels like i should be filling this time with interesting things but i'm just waiting on the microwave have you guys been sorry for not uploading for a little while i'm still working on that big video i talked about a couple videos ago you'll see at some point you'll see where all this time has gone i'm not promising that the time has been going to something good but it has been going somewhere i think i should go brush my hair or something i got time [Music] you know what it smells pretty good uh it looks questionable maybe but it smells not bad oh man i'm actually pretty hungry i just made sure to wait until i was absolutely starving to start filming so wow [Music] i should have made a plan for this flop so here's what we got here we got a couple chicken patties uh they're looking okay in some pretty watery looking gravy i'm honestly not a fan of cooking the fried chicken in the gravy because then you get this soggy border but you know the top part here looks alright so that could be okay i do smell the seasoning on the breading i think that's what i smell i really smelled the cinnamon from the apples and the spice on the breading so that's a good sign mashed potatoes look uh you know sad not real sad then there's the cinnamon apple dessert which i i don't care for i don't like warm cooked fruit so it's not my favorite and then we got green bean it's a it's a green bean it looks like vanilla pudding it looks like vanilla pudding oh my god i wish i didn't say that now i'm gonna expect vanilla pudding um [Music] not my favorite i'm actually gonna try and get a piece here that has less gravy on it the gravy is extremely watery and the chicken is uh i mean you can see it i don't hate the chicken honestly the chicken uh i mean it doesn't taste like you know real chicken kind of reminds me of a frozen like a tyson chicken nugget not as good i just wish it looked a little more like chicken it doesn't really read chicken to my eyeball [Applause] i don't hate it i don't hate it i could i could come around it's just the gravy that i'm really uh i like the flavor of the gravy i just don't like how watery it is overall the chicken is not too bad i give it 10 points [Applause] the texture reminds me of like a breakfast sausage patty and the gravy kind of reminds me of that too which i don't like because it's chicken it should look and remind me of chicken mashed potatoes they look pretty much what i would expect i haven't had instant mashed potatoes in a while it's not pleasant when you're raised on instant mashed potatoes it's like yeah okay but if you haven't had them for a while and you've switched to real mashed potatoes going back to instant is jarring don't hate it don't i would add some pepper if we're in reach it might be good with the green beans actually what about green bean in my apples honestly having a real green bean mixed in with some of the faker food might make it taste more real you know [Music] yeah bean plus mashed potato good i'm not gonna try i'm done with the chicken i'm done with the chicken let's see bean plus apple oh [Music] it's fine the dessert is fine oh dessert just tastes like a you know faint hint of cinnamon with some mushy squishy apples in there this one is not my favorite the country fried chickens are more like large chicken nuggets soggy from soaking in a mysterious gravy with sides that are par for the course when it comes to these frozen meals definitely not inedible but i'd get the salisbury steak over this one every time [Music] [Music] roasted grape uh the roasted carved white meat turkey this one looks scary i picked this one up thinking i don't know maybe thanksgiving themed i know that's like a month away but it's like a fall holiday meal right white meat turkey with mashed potatoes gravy mixed vegetables seasoned stuffing and apple cranberry compote it's got 16 grams of protein how many grams of sodium does it have oh i see that's all does it come with this i are these croutons i don't see uh oh it's stuffing it's stuffing okay these are like stuffing cubes stuffing [Music] okay it seems to me a bad sign when you can't really tell what it's gonna be from the outside honestly it kind of reminds me of what the dessert in the last meal looked like can you guys see down in there you can see the layers of the turkey kinda so you got layered turkey and then you've got the seasoning or the stuffing crumbles in there and then this gray frozen part up here is the gravy i'm assuming it's brown it's not gray i don't know why i said gray then over here we've got just a standard vegetable medley nothing exciting and here's the what was it apple cranberry compote uh it looks like looks like a little bit of it may have gotten into the vegetables but that's all right not looking forward to that not looking forward to any of this actually i missed the fried chicken already forgot to mention that this one also includes a meal map sliced white meat turkey yeah it just looks i don't know they make it look pretty good on the box i'll give them that i i don't think that's what ours is gonna look like but they make it look pretty good on the box the instructions are about the same this one doesn't mention a brownie which is nice uh let's get started remove film from dessert slit film over turkey been there before [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] oh i can smell that turkey dinner not excited i will say though that this apple raspberry compote actually doesn't look too bad if this was supposed to be a popsicle or maybe a slushie or something i'd be excited um i'm not excited but i would be [Music] excited [Music] oh my god i had to turn on a fan uh you probably can't imagine but it gets really hot under these muscles it's like a nature's sweater mixed feelings visually i'm scared smell yearly i'm intrigued uh i think i just smell the gravy um i don't even know that i smell turkey honestly and this just looks a lot worse i prefer this when it was frozen [Music] oh oh still frozen still frozen very frozen supposed to rearrange the turkey which is [Music] [Music] [Music] maybe it'll look better after the rest of the microwave time very hot uh well obviously my first observation is gonna be the speck of apple raspberry compote on the turkey never like to see that not excited even a little bit well looks how it looks like scary turkey with uh you know gravy and the stuffing bits are soaked with the gravy it's it's gonna be just very mushy the apple raspberry compote is intriguing i'm intrigued by this i don't think it's gonna taste like anything in particular sugar maybe but it's at least different than the cinnamon apples i mean that's nice and then the veggies honestly uh looking forward the most to these i think they'll be okay here we go oh it's like there's nothing there it's just nothing it's almost like it's in a soup it feels a little soupy the turkey feels runny okay well it's very strange first things first mushy smooshy don't like it it's just it's like there's no solid mass of food in here it like i said it very soupy [Music] the upside is that means there's a lot of different flavors mixed together or maybe two flavors mixed together salt and meat flavors the reason that's good is because the turkey doesn't taste like anything in particular it tastes like nothing so you need the gravy and mashed potatoes at the same time i don't like it in my mouth the turkey feels more like real meat than the chicken did but it tastes like nothing like it's not there i'm gonna try and get some of the stuffing wet bread i just don't know [Music] oh no i don't think i would like wet regular stuffing like real stuffing it kind of tastes like real stuffing it's a shame if it wasn't completely drenched uh maybe it's not just that it's all wet it's that it's like slimy um [Music] no no i'm giving the turkey gravy stuffing mashed potato section i'm going to give that a one ah got a really bad aftertaste in my mouth i don't hate some of it if the stuffing was dry that might be fine the gravy is okay i like the taste of the gravy more than the chicken fried chicken country fried chicken mashed potatoes are exactly the same overall too mushy and the meat doesn't taste try the dessert it's like the same it tastes exactly the same as the apple cinnamon and then there's the veggies they just taste like steamed veggies the good thing is that they are real vegetables which is nice in a sea of questionable other foods the downside is that steaming vegetables is like the worst way to prepare vegetables so they're still not very good unsurprisingly the corn saves it the corn is delicious don't care for the carrots so much but i'm into the corn 10 points i'm getting the apple cranberry compo tip too i suppose this one was sad i didn't expect this one to be particularly delicious but it's still worse than what i thought also just what are the rules of food photography how are you allowed to advertise something that looks like this like that do they just have to make sure they're using the same kind of food that's actually in here are they allowed to photograph the food before they freeze it that could be it actually if they had to actually microwave the meal and then photograph it there's no way they could get it to look this good i don't believe it great turkey dinner hungry man turkey dinners are delicious and full of flavor the vegetables are soft like steamed veggies the mashed potatoes are fluffy and light and the turkey is all white meat and tender the entire meal has less than 500 calories which is not bad at all for a pound of food however it does have a lot of sodium but that is to be expected from any boxed meal i guess it's hard to argue with this review i would say that the potatoes are fluffy and light sure mushy smooshy the turkey is tender yeah i'll give it that the turkey feels more like real meat than the chicken did and the vegetables are soft like steamed veggies yeah for sure steaming vegetables is like the worst way to prepare vegetables it's like he said the exact same thing i said but made it sound good somehow okay time for the last one i am still rather hungry honestly i don't mean to be wasteful i just don't want to eat more of that now it's time to try something new hungry man isn't a lazy brand they don't just sit around and put out the same old meals they've always done they like to innovate with bowls if you walk through the frozen food aisle there's definitely a bold trend you see a lot of these meal bowls not just noodles but sure chicken and mac and cheese why not it's probably just convenient to have everything in one little tray i don't i don't know can you even really call it a bowl i mean it's just as flat as uh the other ones new hungry man double chicken bowls boneless fried chicken two fried white meat chicken patties plus mac and cheese sauce that doesn't sound great um i didn't realize when i got this at the store that this was mac and cheese i was actually reaching for a different bowl and this one fell off of the shelf publicly embarrassing me but it seemed like it was calling out to me so i picked it up i was gonna get one that was like chicken ranch i think it might have still been mac and cheese i'm not sure on that note i don't really like mac and cheese so this is going to go badly [Music] huh well right off the bat the first thing that you're gonna notice is that the packaging is very different i'm still not gonna call this a bowl this is still a tray at best the meal itself uh looks pretty standard i mean this could be the exact exact same chicken that i just ate earlier i'm not sure got these uh like line marks almost like someone took a fork and drew lines on it to make the breading look realer or something and the mac and cheese has really big noodles which i'm not a fan of and there's also some green things uh peppers maybe i don't know what you put in mac and cheese i don't know [Music] microwave smells really bad definitely has a different smell to it [Music] i wonder if i actually smelled a paper bowl [Music] well visually it doesn't look too bad stir in the mac and cheese trying to get under there and stir the mac and cheese without messing up the chicken patties too bad [Music] bubbling hot oh so excited it's it's like christmas morning i wonder what i got [Music] thanks santa immediately i smell the breading i smell the chicken breading first which i'm okay with i'm mostly excited to try the chicken i don't think i'll care for the mac and cheese uh one way or the other i'm still not so sure about the lines across the chicken it just seems like a way to fake me into thinking that it's higher quality than it is the cheese actually doesn't look too bad though it's got some more color in it than i expected i still don't know what the deal is with those green things they gotta be like bell pepper i don't know why you would put green bell pepper in mac and cheese but i don't know what else it would be [Music] [Applause] it looks more like chicken than the other chicken man it tastes familiar tastes like chicken the seasoning reminds me of something maybe it just reminds me of the other hungry man meals that's not bad though the chicken is not mushy it's nice and thick and you actually have to like cut through it which is a plus honestly a little shocked that's not bad again this is for microwave meal standards but that's a pretty decent piece of chicken the breading is soggy because it's been microwaved so that's a bummer but other than that it's not bad i understand here eating chicken i don't even care about the mac and cheese the chicken gets a solid 25 points that's probably one of the realest feeling and tasting frozen dinner chickens that i've had in quite some time with that said i have not eaten a frozen dinner since the last food video so it's not like i'm well versed in the genre even if the mac and cheese is terrible i would rather eat this one than the roasted turkey or the country fried chicken i'm let's inspect i want to inspect the green things it has to be bell pepper it has to be bell pepper i don't know why but there's a lot of it too it doesn't taste like anything um i can taste the bell pepper and the cheese now now even for instant mac and cheese is pretty weak you need cheese like you need to be able to taste the cheese part it's like half of the thing so i'm not impressed by the mac and cheese but it also does not offend the bell peppers offend me a little bit not sure what's up with that i still don't i don't love the mac and cheese but it's fine i do think that the mac and cheese is better with the chicken but i like the chicken best by itself i give the mac and cheese five points um i wouldn't avoid it but i don't know that i would actively eat all of it were i finishing this whole meal as a whole though not a bad option the idea of a bowl made me a little bit afraid it just seemed like a newfangled angle to try and angle me in even now i'm not sure why it's a bowl i don't know why you couldn't have the chicken on one side and the mac and cheese on the other i think that's how i would have preferred it but it makes the packaging easier and chances are you're gonna mix the two together anyway so i guess i get it not a bad option i wish i remembered the other three hungry men meals so i could rank them but i don't not bad i enjoyed the whole meal it was tasty chicken was tender and moist and i liked the mixture of potatoes i ate it for supper but it was so big it would work for two lunches i would definitely buy this again first observation would be that there's no potatoes in this meal three stars from julie check the sodium on these kind of meals it's a lot it's a lot lot lot in fact it's so much that i kind of want to compare the sodium levels of these three just to see if there's a correlation my least favorite of the three was the roasted turkey for sure mushy flavorless mushy very very mushy if you would like a large plate of mush as a meal this one's for you it contains 1 310 megabytes of sodium which is 57 of your daily value coming in at second is the country fried chicken meal i would say that these two are fairly similar this one is is a clear winner between the two but they're pretty much on the same rank overall this one has 1 60 megabytes of sodium which is 72 of your daily value and finally the winner of this episode is the hungry man double chicken bowls which has 2090 megabytes of sodium which is 91 of your daily value well would you look at that it turns out the more salt you use the better it tastes uh so while this one is my favorite and most tasty it is also 91 of your daily sodium intake if you eat the whole thing and honestly reading that makes me feel better about limiting my intake of these meals because if i ate all of them [Music] at the end of the day i don't know i don't think they're very good as time goes on i become a little more aware of what i'm eating and my intake of these frozen meals has pretty much completely stopped when i first started making these food reviews i was a little more accustomed to the taste of frozen dinner but like i said i have not had one since my last food video i did not really enjoy any of this this was close this was almost like a food but not really these two i can't recommend i can't recommend these at all i i kind of like how this one looks like a giant question mark because that's how i feel about the contents of these boxes this one here is just a no don't eat the turkey don't get the turkey the chicken is okay i would say that if you are accustomed to frozen meals and you know what you're getting into these two are probably the better option this one was surprisingly good given those standards so when all is said and done hungry man double chicken bowls is the winner and uh we just have to live with it i hope you enjoyed this episode of brutal foods i know it's been a while since the last one but like i said i just didn't feel like making them and if i don't feel like making them they're not going to be good if i make them so i didn't make it but now i'm making them or making one at least bye [Music]
