blah, blah, blah
Swedish Meatballs was the second Boston Market frozen entree I bought when these were on sale last week. I remember having them during past cooking strikes years ago, and I remember them being not too bad. Unfortunately this time they’re a definite thumbs down.
The problem was not the meatballs, which were actually pretty tasty on their own. They had a nice texture and the ingredients are not too bad. They’re made with beef and pork, vegetable and soy protein and herbs and spices. If the dish was just the meatballs, I might buy it again.
But it wasn’t, it came with mediocre noodles (I mean, that’s all you can expect) and a completely insipid sauce. It’s really amazing how you can make a sauce and have it have absolutely no flavor. I really don’t understand it. Maybe the dish is directed to people who have COVID and never regained their taste buds, but it’s the definition of insipid. If you’re going to consume 520 calories and 22 grams of fat, you should at least get some flavor out of it.
And this has been my last experiment with Boston Market. If they couldn’t get either dish I tried right, I’m done with them.
