My favourite monster would have to be Cookie Monster.

Is the Hamburgler a monster? I mean he comes around and steals your burgers…what's scarier than that?

monster? food? jack in the box guy,,,,how creepy is the round head on a human body? and when he/she/it leaps from a box, one would be expecting a stripper but hell no! frightnite in burger ville .
i only like Mc&Cheese with a crust. this looks no no

Uh… maybe the knights are supposed to be going off to fight/slay the monsters…? That's about all I could come up with to tie the whole “concept” together, and even that requires quite a stretch of the imagination. It would work better if they had used dragons instead of monsters, I think; “knights vs. dragons” makes more sense as a theme. But then again, if it made sense, it wouldn't be a CRAZY combo…

…Okay, okay. It's a Kid Cuisine meal; making sense is probably not a high priority here.

The cheese sauce probably looks watery because KC didn't hose this one down with orange goo!

What I wonder is: Why do all Kid Cuisine meals feature corn as the vegetable side dish? I wouldn't know for sure, not being a parent myself, but aren't kids at least more adventurous than *that* when it comes to vegetables? I've never encountered a child who wouldn't eat any vegetables other than corn… couldn't the company at least mix it up a little by throwing in some “safer” vegetable choices like carrots, or potatoes in some form (no, fries don't count), or (gasp) even a few GREEN things like peas, broccoli, or green beans? Yes, it's supposed to be “kid food”… it doesn't have to be gourmet… but I think Kid Cuisine could (and should) do a lot better when it comes to variety. It just seems like the company has been throwing the exact same thing into those little blue trays for years without really putting any thought into it at all… and it's a shame, because it really wouldn't take that much effort at all for the company to seriously give this brand an upgrade and put out a much better product line.

*shrug* – It’s a gummy.

Awesome…

I ate crap like that as a kid and regret it. I don't blame my parents though, as I was addicted to microwave meals back then.

My favorite monster is definitely a werewolf. They're killing machines and always leave bloody messes (great for movies, music and books!). Lycan show the basic human struggle of balancing between primal instincts, society and your own guilt. Also, the idea of being a normal person by day and superhuman by night is like turning into a superhero though in the case of most werewolves, it's like becoming a villain. Still a cool idea.

I enjoy watching your reviews and they really have helped me when in the frozen food section.

Andy, couldn't agree more. Very little redeeming value in these meals.

greg,

first time to see this after ashort newspaper article
don't know what others may think but i believe you are on to something
i'm just curious as to whatever happened to grow it in the garden,pick when ready,eat wholesome fresh and natural

keep on going this is great

Well I for one can’t eat commercial Green Beans as I grew up ‘spoiled’ eating Green Beans out of the garden during the summer and home canned Green Beans the rest of the year. I didn’t even eat normal frozen or canned beans until after I left home, I still come home and borrow jars from mom, and they just don’t taste like beans to me.  

Parents that feed these low grade meals to their kids worry me as well.  Not only are they lowing their kid’s standards they are also killing any chance they might have to learn how to cook their own meals.  Kids who grow up only eating these kids meals will eventually end up eating the adult tv dinners later in life.  Both types of meals just have way too much salt and calories for anyone to eat them on a regular basis.
