Hungry Man: Beer Basted Boar Ribs

Michael Sacco: I was a little worried about having to eat these frozen dinners when they were sent to us, because -- let's be honest -- frozen food rarely lives up to the picture on the box. My experience with Hungry Man, too, has been less than positive. They've been unhealthy, heavy "meals" that've left much to be desired.

Then I read Robin's review of the Baked Salmon meal that Blizzard sent us and I felt a little relieved. Maybe this time would be different!

The meal was packaged like any other Hungry Man dinner -- this one had a side of potato wedges along with it -- so I popped it into the microwave and read the box. I did a double take when I read "wild boar ribs" on the box, since I had originally thought that the name "boar" was just an exaggeration for advertising and branding reasons. And, at least on Amazon, boar meat is expensive.

The microwave sounded, I peeled back the plastic wrap and sank my teeth in, and...

How can I put this?

It was a McRib. I checked the ingredients to be sure, and yeah, it's just shaped pork. There's not even any bones on it. Don't get me wrong! I like McRibs, but this isn't any kind of gourmet meal and it definitely ain't wild boar meat.

Oddly enough, the wedges cooked up okay. And the faux-beer glaze was acceptable.

Can't win 'em all, I guess.
