I picked some up today, I will need to eat around the tofu though.
Thereās tofu in there? (I feel that way about baby corn or edamame 
).
I have to say Iāve never noticed the tofu or the seaweed, maybe cuz I tend to add a bunch of other things (also I donāt mind tofu at all).
Are you a nay on the Japanese fried rice?
Probably Meh, nay was too strong for something that Iām not actually offended by the taste of.
All their fried rices need doctoring for my palate, but clearly they are very popular in general!
Iāve yet to encounter a prepared supermarket dish that doesnāt require some doctoring.

Marie Callenders Chicken Pot Pie is good as-is.

Agree. Have you tried the taller, vertical version of the MC pies? I tried a package of 2 from Grocery Outlet, and was surprised at how good they are.
Iāll take your word for it. I donāt like pot pie.

Now thatās a thought deserving of its own thread. I nominate Paneraās Autumn Harvest Squash Soup, which is seasonal AT Panera but year-round in supermarkets that stock Panera.
Build it, and they will post 
Iād add the TJās tomato & red pepper soup, which is pretty awesome on its own (even if I still end up adding RPF or some heat source - perhaps not enough to qualify as ādoctoring upā).

I havenāt had to doctor most other frozen dishes from TJs.
I avoid most of the Chinese ones (other than dumplings) because they are too sweet, but aside from that nothing much to change.

Yes. Theyāre called āPub Styleā pies. Two flavors, Steak & Ale, and Roasted Chicken.

Tonyās Chocolonely is THE BEST! Especially their toffee pretzel flavor. My only complaint is that the pieces donāt break into consistent sizes because of the cute jumbled way they designed them.

Trader Joeās makes a steak and stout pie similar to that but closed at the top. My husband likes them. They used to make a chicken curry one that I really liked but of course it got discontinued, like pretty much everything I have liked.

I enjoyed the red pepper tomato soup until I noticed the sodium content. I use no additional salt in my cooking and yet this soup didnāt register with me as salty. So I tried the reduced sodium version, and found it very bland. My āGoldilocksā soup, I guess.
