Freshly Meal #2

With only five days to eat five more meals, I tried another one tonight. ( wasn’t too adventurous so I heated up the Chicken Teriyaki.

The pictures on the website led me to believe that there would be two compartments: one for the chicken + rice, and one for the vegetables. Nope. It was all mixed into one. This is what it looked like coming out of the microwave oven:

I only ended up eating three bites. It looked, smelled, and tasted terrible. The rice was not cooked (hard) even thought I following the heating instructions exactly. Like all microwaved teriyaki dishes, it had this strong odor, not at all like teriyaki dishes from restaurants. I ended up nibbling on the chicken pieces and almost threw up again. After 15 minutes, I tossed about 95% of the dish. I would give it 1 or 2 out of 10 and I’ve also decided I’m done with Freshly. I’m not ordering from them ever again.

I guess the nutritional information doesn’t matter that much if you don’t actually eat any of the dish.
