spontaneous food review from a non-foodie

[saffronhare]

Today, I'm trying one of the Amy's Bowls -- brown rice with black-eyed peas and veggies -- for lunch. Whole grains and veggies! And none of the preservatives that I might get with a mainstream frozen lunch-type product! WIN, I thought.

Except I don't like it much. Don't get me wrong: It's perfectly decent food, and perhaps even more food than I need to feel full. But WOW. I'm probably putting an unreasonable amount of salt on it...and it's all I can do not to drizzle some beef gravy on it for savory/flavory enhancement. Not that I have beef gravy. But you get the idea.

ETA: Just as a general comment...you guys are awesome. I really appreciate the humor and perspective you're offering -- what an unexpected harvest! Thank you. :)

I saw that this dedication to the cause did not extend to the shrimp dip, which was still on the table at 9.45 when I got home. Surely the eggs would have lasted as long? ::makes starving puppy dog eyes::

I didn't realize it was that important to you. I'll plan to leave extras next time, okay? :)
