Frozen Food

Have you ever paid close attention to the information you can find on frozen food packages? Have you thought about this information? It can be very peculiar. Take, for instance, Bundinos, possiblt the most bizarre I've found. It's nothing particularly strange, I suppose. There's nothing especially odd about the ingredients. But the package comes with nine little Bundinos. What makes it odd is that they tell us 4 Bundinos make a serving. Do that math. The only way to eat that equitably in more than one sitting is eating 3 Bundinos...or what they are probably hoping for...buying more boxes so that you don't have loose, random Bundinos. 12 would be the perfect number. Then people who wanted to eat less would have equal portions. If you wanted more than a serving, as I admittedly tend to desire (serving sizes don't make any sense to me), then you could eat 6.

But that's not, really, the twigiest thing about the Bundinos. I looked on all 6 surfaces of the box and the Bundinos come with no oven instructions. None. They only tell you how to cook in the microwave. What in the world? I prefer cooking frozen food in the over, and they don't even give me that option! I appreciate how quick and easy the microwave is, but come on, some of us are willing to wait.

But then frozen food preparation instructions are generally pretty twigi. They all warn you that "cooking times may vary" depending upon your individual microwave. But my experience is that they always vary. The instructed microwave times are, the majority of the time for me, too short. I don't ever have to put food back in the oven after the allotted time.

I did cook the Bundinos in the oven I think about 20 minutes and they were great.
