So I'm eating one of those premade salads. Y'know the kind that comes in the little plastic bowl and is super wasteful and most aren't all that good for you (unless you really read the labels and what's in there?)
Well, my roommate's mom is really sweet and is helping us with our diets and she bought a few of those salad bowls.
Looked good enough. Nice dark greens and dark purples, walnuts, cranberries, feta cheese and some chicken and raspberry vinegrette.
So I'm eating it and lamenting on flavor. Not bad, the vinegrette is a little sweet, but the cranberries are tender and the cheese isn't too strong and the greens are crisp.
Then I bite into one of the chicken pieces...AUGH, Why did it taste so...OFF? I've never had chicken that tasted like that. Not sandwich meat, not other chicken in pre-made salads.
So I get up and check out the ingredients on the salad label. Everything is alright, no msg or high fructose corn syrup or colorings added to anything...EXCEPT THE CHICKEN.
Turns out for some strange reason the chicken was flavored with...artificial chicken flavoring? WHAT THE FUCK? I have never tasted chicken that tasted like that. It was terrible. How could anyone let that go through testing? "Mmm yeah, tastes like rancid smoke house meat. Yep. That's chicken all right."
blech.
Fyi, this the "Ready Pac Bistro -chicken cranberry walnut salad"
I would recommend this, pretty tasty, it's little, but for the love of god, toss out the chicken.
