We've got a similar one that's not frozen, just conserved fresh. Closest you'll get to restaurant level with something that's heated in a microwave.

that looks like classy frozen food. i'm always down for that

there was this store in my old town that only sold gourmet frozen food items. it was pretty pricey, but some of the stuff was amazingly good for its convenience.

How much does that go for a box? I've been paying WAY too much at a restaurant by my school for that dish lately.

I read the beginning of the thread title and I was like "great, another exaggerated claim on hipinion." But then I saw what you were talking about and yes, this is very very true.

Amy's veggie pot pie is pretty delicious. But now that I'm largely unemployed and have a lot of free time, I'm mostly eating fresh food. California stylee

This thread made me go out to Wegman's.

Wegman's is awful.

I got the chinese buffet and they charged me $13.56 for it and it doesn't even taste good.

Trader Joe's is an upscale grocery store and so is Wegman's and a Wegman's just opened here so I figured I'd peruse its selection looking for something similar to what you posted.

It didn't make me, it just kinda reminded me there's a Wegman's around here.

Gonna bump this thread every time I have this.

(There's no naan in it. The picture on the box is a "serving suggestion.")
