Some frozen dinner entrees do not seem to taste as good nowadays.

Maybe it is just me. 

Perhaps the manufacturers are changing some ingredients.

I ate one of those Swanson Hungry Man XXL frozen dinners once. It filled me up (surprisingly) but then I thought "Wait, I'm full, but of exactly what?"

Quiet down there in the peanut gallery!  :laugh:

I will try a different brand of frozen lasagna.  Something has changed with the brand that I have bought many times.  For the third package to taste odd, bought at different stores, I think that it is now made differently.

Got a laugh that the label said something like 50% more than our ten ounce package!  This one was like 15 ounces. 

Do they think we are dumb consumers?

I stopped buying Swanson for that reason. The portions kept getting smaller, but the price kept going up. I keep trying other brands, but they all seem to do the same thing.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are still (relatively) cheap.  ;D

I'm not sure its just TV dinner/prepackaged food.  Nothing seems to be as flavorful as i remember.  Its a daily struggle to find the flavor combinations that please my palate.  Nothing on this side of the pond is as tasty as in UK, EU.

I attribute it to the freshness and lack of preservatives in Europe in general.

If you go to a bodega or a close market each day for fresh food you can enjoy that nicety.
I hear people in NYC do this a lot still.

However many people are busy nowadays and stock up at a bigger grocery store weekly.

Then again I hear that many people get groceries delivered to them nowadays.
