some frozen stuff is terrible – it is a hit and miss even in the same brands.

[...] Needless to say we didn’t have the nice steak that we were planning on barbecuing. We had macaroni. Other than soup it was the only bland thing I could think of that probably wouldn’t upset my stomach even more. I’m not the biggest fan of mac and cheese either so I guess I had another awful dinner.

Frozen can be pretty bleh, but you don’t have to go to China for Chinese either!! Chinese cooking is actually very easy even to cook from scratch. I have lots of simple yet yummy Chinese recipes on my blog you can try

Had the frozen Chinese food that you were talking about, once in my life as well. Worst experience ever!!!

Don’t think I had Chinese food for a few months after that. I may occasionally order out, but most of the time I rather make it myself.

But frozen, never again.

Oh my gosh, yes! But seriously, what I just thought about is that we bought chocolate bars and were just discussing that we needed to change out the baking powder in the frig. Well, we didn’t… then, when we were ready to eat the bars, and they tasted like fish. Fish! Frozen fish! What can be worse than frozen chocolate fish bars??

I’ve also noticed that even Chinese takeout doesn’t have the appeal it once did. We were spoiled living a 15-minute brisk walk from Chinatown, where we were able to eat in places where everyone held their bowls up to their chests as they ate and where there were two superb Chinese bakeries almost side by side on Dundas Street (we lamented on a visit to Toronto last summer that one has closed down).

The major Chinese buffets still offer something. In Ottawa we like Du Barry and Royal Buffet. In Cornwall, it’s Wing Hing. In Toronto, it was Mandarin (Eglinton and Yonge).
