I can't believe I haven't reviewed this before! It's the quintessential Hungry Man dinner. Other shocks: they changed the corn to mixed veggies, there's a hyphen in Hungry-man?!, and this is only 410 calories. Maybe they should change the name to Healthy Man. Except definitely not, because this is full of sodium, soy protein, and not much ~real food~. I will say that it was quite filling for 410 calos, and also that it's changed a LOT since I remember it last (mostly for the worse, sadly).
So: the veggies are a small portion of carrot/corn/green bean. Just like 2 spoons full. They taste decent, a little buttery, but not as good as corn. The potatoes are very "from a powder that I put too much water in" tasting, but potatoes in gravy are ultimately potatoes in gravy. The stuffing is only a few pieces, it seemed OK. The turkey is 3 decent sized circles, but they're kind of like warm lunchable turkey. Highly processed, a little itchy, but not terrible. The dessert has no crumble, only 2 spoons of a sweet red juice with a few cranberry/apple mini chunks. It was fine. Honestly this was all OK and easy and filling and low-cal for a dinner, so if it's on sale it's not the worst thing. But I can't in good conscience recommend it, either, since no part of it was what I'd call "good". C'est la vie.

Hungry Man Veal Parmigiana
Mistakes were made, dear readers. I like the turkey hungry man OK, but all the rest have just been bad news. You'd think it's hard to screw up Veal Parm, especially with so much fat + salt, but alas, this is not a tasty meal. I didn't even finish it! The brownie is good, and I ate that, and the green beans are OK, but a little too buttery. The pasta is OK too, I think, but there were only like 4 noodles so it's hard to judge. The veal pieces (2) were really bad. The breading is standard, but the meat is just....crumbly and chewy and not good. Just not good. Very "frozen patty"esque but in the worst possible way. Don't buy this again, self!!! D:

Hungry Man Popcorn Chicken and Honey Rum BBQ Sauce

First thought: Wow, these Hungry Man dinners sure are bigger than lean cuisines! At roughly the same price when not on sale, it makes me feel like I'm wasting serious money on buying lean cuisines and the like. But for some reason, I keep doing it, possibly because Hungry-Mans (Hungry-Men?) don't leave me feeling too great afterwards. Anyway, on to the review.
The popcorn chicken here is fairly tasty and fairly large. They're basically 6 round chicken nuggets with a bit flakier of a coating than normal. Fun fact: after eating most chicken nuggets, I have an slight allergic reaction and get all itchy - I have no idea what it is, but kid's cuisine, banquet, swanson - all their chicken is right out. These chicken didn't cause any reaction, though, which I thought was cool. Maybe they don't use as many preservatives or something. (As you can see, my specific allergies are a mystery even to me.) But so the chicken is pretty good! It doesn't even require sauce, which is good, because the "spiced rum bbq sauce" isn't my favorite. It's got a strong flavor, and it's kind of sweet and - spiced, I guess? So a little goes a long way, and I didn't really use it much. The green beans have tiny onions mixed in, and they're just average. Not too crispy, but not inedible or anything. Same for the mashed potatoes - they're OK, I ate them all, but they could have used a bit more flavor.
