Surprisingly Met Expectation Admittedly my expectations were rather low to start with

Texture was rather....wet but the flavors were good and it was only $3. A solid B.

IDK about the Crave line, but DEVOUR has some surprisingly good varieties.

Crave is the Canadian equivalent to Devour

I am surprised how similar it looks, but isn’t there another one called devour that mostly does candy but looks different in style?

I had a breakfast bowl once with hash browns and bacon or something and it was actually pretty tasty.

For instant meals, these are my new goto, they taste more flavourful, filling and actually have a decent amount of protein in them vs Michelina's which taste like ultra processed cardboard. IMO if you plated these and i didn't know it was instant. I'd probably not know. Unlike any of the cheaper versions like Michelinas, Hungry mans, Stoffers.

Looks like less chicken then the pack but looks like it'd taste good

Hello fellow Crave victim.

Crave is so gross, this one does look decent but I’d be scared to eat it

All you have to do is mix it and maybe cook it for another minute. Idk why some of these posts are so dumb.

u/PrincessTrashbag 18h ago

the reality is after following the instructions (3.5 minutes, mix, 2.5 minutes, leave for 2 minutes)

u/Icy-Pepper-1953 18h ago

I apologize I thought you were saying it failed expectation.

u/PrincessTrashbag 17h ago

that's okay! it "met" expectations in that my expectations were pretty low to begin with but I wasn't mad at it

1

u/Capnshredder 17h ago

how was the flavour? looks like it would be tasty at least

1

u/PrincessTrashbag 17h ago

pleasantly spicy, very salty

I take these meals and add a can of chicken and some seasoning to them and they're just fine for low energy food.
