Linda McCartney says: Spiral macaroni smothered in a creamy cheddar cheese sauce

Abi says: I’m not sure the human body was meant to consume 10 ounces of macaroni and cheese in one go. This meal has been on sale at just about every food outlet (ok, Safeway and Whole Foods) and part of the reason may be our alimentary incapacity for such quantities of macaroni and cheese.

Ok, I know plenty of people (Nicole, Bale, Colleen, and George) who would gladly eat 10 ounces of macaroni and cheese in one sitting. I’m sure that I too have consumed such a quantity of pasta and sauce. The real problem here is blandness, an incomparable blandness that existed in Linda’s Butternut Squash Ravioli too.

Doesn’t it seem sort of strange to eat the meals of a deceased semi-celebrity? And would it be sacreligious to call Linda McCartney the Paris Hilton of the Beatles? Really, did she have a talent for anything aside from photography? And even then, she was originally Linda Eastman. ~~Yes of Eastman-Kodak.~~* Yes, she captured Paul’s heart, but she wouldn’t have gotten far dishing out these sorts of meals.

If you’re going after 400 calories worth of vegetarian frozen meal, how about giving one of these guys a try:

*She may have been a photographer and may have had the last name Eastman, but she was not related to the Eastman-Kodak empire. At least, that’s what the Internet and reader Brian have noted. Thanks for correcting us, Brian! Unfortunately, this meal is still 3rd rate at best.

I’ve tried this mac also, and remember not being too keen on it. Anyways, my favorite mac is Kraft mac thats shaped like Rugrats. Its the only kraft mac I actually like. I hate that nasty “easy mac” stuff though. The rugrats mac would blow all of this other mac away, and you’d have to add a sixth star.
