2/5 Stars 🌟🌟
This Mega Bowl is extra exciting because instead of developing a recipe, they just took a MadLibs and turned it into a real dish. ‘[MEASUREMENT] of Chicken [NOUN] with Creamy [THANKSGIVING FOOD] topped with [ADJECTIVE] [ANOTHER ADJECTIVE] [VEGETABLE]!”
And while I guess Mega Bowls plays MadLibs a little differently than me (I just put swear words in every space), the resulting dish is a pile of “chicken fritters” (???) mashed potatoes and gravy. If the Midwest had its own flag, it would just be a picture of this dish. (As a proud Midwesterner, doctors say my blood is 98% gravy.)
Taste: ⅗. It tastes like the chefs at Mega Bowls snuck into the dumpster behind Boston Market, grabbed whatever they could, covered it in plastic and put it in the freezer section. The only thing that would make it better is if they would have snagged the apple pie away from the rats they were scavenging with. I’d eat this again.
Ease of Cooking: ⅖. Unacceptable. This took a full two and a half hours to make – 4 minutes of microwaving, a quick 2 hour nap in the middle, then stirring and reheating again. There has to be a better way!
Appearance: ⅕. I’m trying out this new thing where I’m trying to be more positive (ugh, annoying), so let’s say – if you love the color beige, and your favorite way to eat your food is “mashed together,” then you’re going to be thrilled with this!
Overall: ⅖. Twenty minutes after eating this, I had a massive stomach ache. It’s just like my favorite new game sweeping the nation – “Is it the 1360 mg of sodium, the stress of 2020, or the 30 fistfuls of leftover Halloween candy I’ve been eating all day?”
