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.

I tried a Swedish meatballs and noodles frozen meal from the grocery. Stouffer's.  Not bad.  Worthy of a try.

I thought this would be a topic about how certain foods taste differently since going on HRT.  Alas I was wrong.  

Since I'm here I'll say this.  I rarely eat frozen dinners.  Can't comment on that.  But my liking for beer has diminished.  I used to love ales and IPAs, and drank them often.  Now most of them don't go down so well.  They just don't taste as good.  I still like a few though and will have one now and then.  Especially on a hot day.  It's more of a treat instead of a ritual.

Hmmm, I must admit, I'm starting to loose the taste for beer these days. I used to love an IPA but now I'm not all that big a fan. I do like the older creamy real ales but you don't see so many of them these days. I thought it was because I was getting older and had a break from pub drinking for a while to get on top of alcohol conumption but now I'm wondering, could it be HRT?

Mind I hardly drink anything these days so it might just be that.
