The Healthy Choice, as soon as I saw this in the Freezer I had to get it. Microwavable food that is healthy? Great! This meal seemed like a perfect choice for vegetarians or cheese lovers, its Manicotti, which is Ricotta, Mozzarella, Parmesan and Romano cheese filled pasta in herbed tomato sauce.
I took it out of the pack for dinner and heated it up. Like most microwavable meals the process is usually a 2 step, you heat for a few minutes, take out your meal, stir it up a bit, then put it back in for a few more minutes. This meal was no different and after a few minutes in the microwave it was done.
The first thing that I noticed was the smell, for a few minutes my kitchen smelled as if my wife could cook. The second thing I noticed was the looks, I am never going to get over the fact at how pictures on packages differ from the actual product. It still amazes me every fucking time!! It once again looks absolutely nothing like in the picture, if this was a match the box to the meal game I would lose. I took a bite and I have to say, the sauce is pretty good, but the actual cheese roll was tasteless. It also only had 2 rolls inside and for the price it cost me KD1.250 I would expect at-least double that. In the end I had to give it a score of 2.5 out of 5. There is nothing special about it, its over priced and it didn’t look appetizing. I wouldn’t buy it again.

nice review bro, i dont trust this kind of products coz one thing is for sure, once a manufacturer claim or advertise that their food is a healthy one, most of the time the taste sucks big time. he he! just my two cents. (ima watch out for more of your useful reviews) keep em coming dude! 🙂
If you are really desperate for insta-meals, at least stick to microwave burritos/taquitos and hot pockets.
Where i used to work in the US, all the fucking american buttertrolls used to feed on this shit in the afternoon and stink up the dinning room. Anything cooked in the microwave has that distinct sick microwave smell and taste, a combo of melted cheese/plastic and a nice healthy dose of low-level radiation. I had to avoid the room in the afternoon and keep the window open to air that shit out.
