mac and cheese
Mac and Cheese has dominated the scene with an almost alarming success rate ever since the release of the now seminal Kraft's "Mac and Cheesier" and the early 90's. With ...and Cheesier came an explosion of cheese laden pasta spinoffs: Velveeta Sheels and Cheese, the cheesy rabbit things, and to the food's detriment, Easy Mac. In short, the market is now oversaturated with Mac and Cheese, and I'd be lying if this old staple wasn't in danger of becoming old hat. However, discerning eaters will have their traditional recipes and home-made dishes; these are tough to beat by nearly any food out there. As a bonus, it heats up extremely well and is cheap.

Marie Callendar's Chicken Pot Pie
When Three Six Mafia made a surprising turn as Academy Award winners with their tuneful "It's hard out there for a pimp", one would never have suspected the message behind such a song could be extrapolated to reflect the culture war of the frozen food aisle. In the aughts you have the vegetarian delights of Morningstar Farms brushing heads with the carnal intensity of Lumberjack meals, frozen vegetables in bidding wars over your hard earned $2.00 like the boy in Better off Dead, and in the middle of it all, unable to distinguish herself at all are the bland machinations of one Marie Callendar. Her latest offering is Chicken Pot Pie. If your idea of "succulence" is throwing a can of peas and gravy and stringed chicken into a thermos, closing the lid, shaking it wildly and pouring it into a crust of disappointment, then you might enjoy this. For the rest of us though, we'd like our money back.
