Next Week: New Products from Hungry-Man

April 1, 2009 | Reviewer: Abi Jones

Hungry Man Winner A couple weeks ago the friendly folks at Hungry Man’s PR department sent my former coworkers a box packed with their new ‘Wild Man’ meals. This is one of those times when I can say that I’m glad I started having all of the free food shipped directly to other reviewers. Sure, I’ll take free pizzas, but free Hungry-Man? No thanks

For those of you who (similar to Nicole) enjoy Hungry-Man meals, you’ll be delighted to learn that we’re featuring them for all of next week. Yes, an entire week of Hungry-Man.

The new product line includes:

Monday – Hungry-Man Country Fried Bison Steak: No need to haul out the skillet. Treat yourself to our country fried bison steak, with creamy gravy, mashed potatoes, and green beans. That’s one pound of tastebud-pleasing food.
Tuesday – Hungry-Man Salisbury-Style Ostrich Steak: Take one bit of our tender Salisbury-style ostrich steak and you’ll be one happy customer. It comes with mushroom and onion gravy, mashed potatoes, and green beans. That’s one pound of tempting, terrific food.
Wednesday – Hungry-Man BBQed Rattlesnake: This down-home dish is popular for good reason. You’ll enjoy rattlesnake patties in barbecue sauce, with mashed potatoes, and corn. That’s 1 pound of tongue-tingling, flavorful food.
Thursday – Hungry-Man Boneless Wild Boar: Smokin’ sizzle! You’ll appreciate a home-made flair in our grilled wild boar steak strips, with onions and peppers in a zesty bourbon sauce, and mashed potatoes. That’s over one pound of fantastic food!
Friday – Hungry-Man Sports Grill Beer-Battered Alligator: Enjoy favorite fan foods while watching your favorite team on TV. You’ll love our beer-battered alligator patties, and Cheesefries. It’s one-pound of yummy, winning food.

Meals like these make me wonder just how much market research Hungry-Man does before launching a new product line. Can you see yourself purchasing a box of beer-battered alligator patties and Cheesefries?

Hm, funny, I’ve actually eaten three of those dishes.

Hah hah, you got me. I was all excited over the chance to eat all that stuff for $2.99.

Though I’ve had alligator before, it tastes like chicken.

I was thrilled at the prospect of Hungry-Man dinner reviews until I reached the part about Bison meat. I’m reading this on April 2! No fair, guys!
Mike on April 2nd, 2009

Oddly enough if Swanson did that, I’d actually buy the stuff. Although the real stuff they make is poo.

Happy April 1 to you as well.

Dang. I was really looking forward to the wild boar.

On first reading, I was wondering what former co-worker you could have possibly sent them to the attention to besides me, even if I am a hard-core delinquent on reviews. Especially since they are Hungry Man! And you KNOW I would try any/all of those (mmm, love me some Ostrich!). April Fools jokes are mean. Just ask the Nascar fans…http://mediamatters.org/items/200904020008 (yes, had to send the one in particular that punk;d Ann Coulter)
Jim on April 2nd, 2009

That was funny for about 15 seconds

Darn it! As much as I despise HM, I was kind of thinking of trying one! lol! Good one!
Andy on April 5th, 2009

Yeah I fell for this for like 4 days.

I really like the hungry-man dinners. I have one question. How do you get the brownie off in one piece? I always get the top half and the bottom sticks. I would like to know if there is something I’m not doing. I let it cool down first. I would sure like a answer. Thank you so much.

I bought several Hungry-Man dinners. The Classic Fried Chicken is delicious, however, who wants corn with brownie mix in it? If I’m going to pay $3 for a meal, I dont want to come home and strain and clean brownie mix off the corn. Three times when I bought this meal, the brownie mix was on top of the corn. So I dont know how the brownie is but the rest is good. Don’t try to go on their website because it is a blank white page, and I called them and someone there picked up the phone and hung it up. I guess I cant remedy this situation.
