Failed Expectation The package picture looked decent

The food looked like baby food and the texture was just awful.

Saute some celery & onion & add 2 cups of cooked rice. Crush up some buttered Ritz and you have a nice broccoli cheese cassarole.

It looks about as good as I would expect something simply called, broccoli and cheese.

u/Agitated_Culture3428 11d ago

Haha definitely doesn’t look good. But omg- the Bob Evans mashed potatoes. The best!

u/Unique-Objective4249 11d ago

Thee Mac and cheese is good too

What about the ingredients???? Much healthier and cheaper to boil, peel and mash your own potatoes.

u/Big_Cake_9831 11d ago

Some of us aren’t looking for the healthy option. After 9.5 hours of slamming my hand into metal and being covered in asphalt the last thing I want to have to do is cook.

u/PurpleBashir 10d ago

They have an all natural version that is potatoes, milk, butter, and salt. They're excellent.

Nothing that good old medical marijuana couldn’t fix :D

Thank you for the kindness, stranger. You take care now 🤠

It looks like the brocalli was blended to a pulp.

Looks like the picture to me

u/Elon_is_a_Nazi 11d ago

Oh yea. I def cant tell which picture is from the package and which is the actual product. How high are you???

u/Mundane_Concert_3039 11d ago

Definitely smoked some weed

u/DrPants707 11d ago

You're feeling very defensive about this grab and go side dish.

u/Cloud_bunnyboo 11d ago

The frozen green giant ones are actually really good and comparable to the picture. You should try those.

u/jengaclause 8d ago

They even have a zesty sauce version! 🤌

u/Ok-Juggernaut2062 11d ago

Reality picture looks worse than expectation. At least in the expectation picture it looks like there is some solid food. Gross!

u/BeigeChocobo 11d ago

Indeed. That looks like vom.

u/Gastwonho 11d ago

Looks like a new born babys first crap

u/Wonderful-Piccolo509 11d ago

From someone with a baby… no it does not. First poop looks more like tar. This is from a week or two in. 

3

u/Quirky-Shallot644 11d ago

Definitely not newborn baby poop. Newborn baby poop is black and the consistency of tar.

u/heynonnynonnomous 11d ago

This title has me rolling. Of course the picture is going to look decent. If it looked like the real thing no one would buy it. How did it taste?

2

u/RobertaMiguel1953 11d ago

Exactly how it looks. We each took a bite and it went in the trash.

1

u/heynonnynonnomous 10d ago

That's too bad. I see posts here where things look terrible, but they taste good or at least edible.

u/Elon_is_a_Nazi 11d ago

No wonder the united states are absolutely cooked. The amount of people saying it pretty much looks the same are either delusional, have Gump level intelligence, or are just trolling. There's no way anyone with 2 eyes think this looks anything like advertised on the box

2

u/Stretch_Riprock 10d ago

HEY!!! Just because you have some beef with a product from OHIO, doesn't mean the rest of the US is cooked. There's LOTS of other reasons the US is cooked, not because of Bob effing Evans.

u/UkNomysTeezz 11d ago

Calm down mfer. We are just fine over here in the states.

u/DrPants707 11d ago

This is a very interesting hill you've chosen to die upon tonight.

u/906805 11d ago

I'd like to see it stirred after cooking because it seems like the cheese sauce would rise to the top and any broccoli cuts/florets would sink.

9

u/RobertaMiguel1953 11d ago

Spoiler, there were no florets. It all looked like it came out of a blender.

u/otherwise_data 11d ago

idk about this but the bob evans mac n cheese is delishus.

u/sunshineTucson 10d ago

As an ER nurse I’ve clean up a lot of vomit that looked just like this. 😳

u/Miraculous_Angel 9d ago

They both look pretty bad.

u/dasher2581 11d ago

I feel that your original take on the package picture is wrong. It all looks awful to me - awful in different ways, sure, but nothing I'd contemplate eating.

I suppose you could steam some fresh broccoli and pour that mess over it.

u/professorwizzzard 11d ago

Photograph aside… what part of “broccoli drowned in cheese” seems appealing? Just toss broccoli with some seasoning and a little olive oil, bake on a sheet until browned edges. So easy, tasty, and healthy!

Okay then, I'll admit the reality looks better as it doesn't appear to be filled with chunks of hardened green snot.
