there are threads about subscription menu's fresh food sent to you to prepare there are various FastFood outlet threads.
Ill offer Supermarket Made-in-their-Kitchen offerings that a few of my local supermarket offer. As far as i can tell , one local family owned chain ( RocheBros )
offers something new ( to my eye at least ): fresh packed dinners / veg you either microwave or bake in your own oven.
here are various prepared foods both dinners and individual items this store offers :
individual dinners you heat up are on the two middle shelves. the Turkey dinner I sometimes buy is one shelf up third item from the L or 4th from the R. its quite good
the other side of this counter. everything made in this store.
this is the individual selection area of stuff they make. this is more expensive than the packages stuff in the first pics. this is a cold case
they have a weekly rotating hot selection around the corner from the chilled foods you've just seen. its early in the day and they only have the hot sides out. they have
2 - 4 hot entrees that are sold by the lbs and 2 - 3 items they carve to order : turkey breast some days , meat loaf , a roast. again similar prices to the chilled items
sold a la carte
this is what i find interesting and is brand new here :
the items you see above are in oven / microwave safe packs. you follow the instructions for oven or microwave and it cooks at home. they are seasoned. some have
pats of butter in the packs.
in the first of these three pics there are Oven/Bake roasts and a stew they take several hours in your oven.
ive only gotten the individual turkey dinner that gets heated up ( carefully ) in the microwave.
but the micro-bag or oven bag items are very intriguing someone is thinking outside of the box.
of course its easy to Poo-Poo this sort of food. but its a lot better than fast food or take out Id bet and all the above is made or assembled in this store.
I find ideas like this very interesting.
