    I have a specific fondness of the pre made baguettes jambon emmental they have at French has stations. They are not exceptional, but fulfill a certain void in me.

    I somehow doubt American had station food will compare, though.

    30 years ago when I was stuck working a crappy 3rd shift job, these were one of the few decent things to eat in the break room. I can still recall the taste but I can't say I miss it.

    Bro, I kept some frozen burrito company in business because it was better than the drywall sandwiches they offered at camp. The burrito would thaw out in my work vest by lunch and was edible with a bit of hot sauce. Not good. Edible.

    Holy shit.

    I've had one of these once.

    ... I recommend it to an adventurous eater, or someone who has depression.

    Because you can eat one of these, and know with 100% confidence that this will be the worst hamburger you ever eat, and that everything else, everything after, is definitionally upward from there.

    Truly these things are so awful they reset my entire scale for how awful food can taste.

    I'm not gonna sit here pretend like I haven't had these gas station microwave cheeseburgers before.

    Yes it's probably been decades, but I can still remember eating these when I was in certain "situations" and there's a quality to them that isn't horrible, if you don't mind eating all the plastics and preservatives that come with it. There's something about the way the bread steams in the bag.

    I do remember that you have got to make sure you microwave it thoroughly, and then you have got to let it cool a few minutes.

    It's pretty hard to explain what "sad looking food" is in my language. I just show people American public school lunch.

    Is frozen food as bad everywhere as it is in the US?

    It's the most nasty, chewy shit in the world here. I freeze home cooked meals and they reheat fine, so I don't get how 99%+ of our frozen food is so disgusting.

    Look at the ingredients. A lot of these frozen burgers n shit have TVP, textured vegetable protein, to fill out the food instead of meat, pumped full of water so it freezes solid and thus steams TF out of it and becomes soggy, plus epic amounts of additives and preservatives. If all frozen foods were genuine home-cooked quality meals, they wouldn't last as long and would cost 10x as much so they can turn huge profit margins

    Never seen this one before, but my job had a few of these in the freezer vending machine. I actually thought they were decent, but everyone thought i was crazy lol. It was absolutely a passible meal for $2.50 at the time.

    The rule with these is to avoid throwing the bread in the microwave and toast it instead. It's actually not bad.

    To clarify: it's not bad considering the extremely low bar.

    What are these? Is this a 7-11 special?

    From what I remember, 7-Eleven considers itself too special to carry these. When I've seen them, they've always been in, like, weird off-brand truck stops and gas stations that aren't part of a chain.

    Damn forgot about cheap vending machine burgers. Moved out when I was 17, my roommate's mom worked for a company "Canteen" that restocked something like these into vending machines, so we got a lot for free every week.

    Ate a whole bunch in the first year. Eventually got really sick of them. Very believable you could grow a third ball from the preservatives. I'll probably get some kind of cancer instead.

    A friend of mine once had me pose with two of these when on a roadtrip (we had never seen them before).

    So he could say I had "azburgers"

    i wonder how often the ceo and board members of companies like conagra 'eat their own dog food'.

    just a hunch, but i'm guessing that's never.
