Target says: Vegetables, black beans & white meat chicken wrapped in a crispy shell.

Kelly says: I love Target. I adore Target. I was weaned on Target. Well, not really because that would be sort of gross, but I think you get the point. You would not believe how distraught I became when I first realized that the Target nearest my suburban post-college southern home did not have a freezer section.

Sure, it has a freezer. A smaller freezer than the one found at my local 7-11. The first time I went to the Target I thought there wasn’t a freezer section at all. Then I learned that it was just a single case. I’m not sure which instance made me more disappointed.

Fortunately, I found a different Target in the opposite direction from the first Target and only a total of five more driving miles. The more awesome, glorious Target has oodles of frozen food cases. Watch out folks, I have found the mother land and it consists of frozen food!

While I usually stick to known brand name products offered at low, low prices (see poorly chosen South Beach Diet Lunchable), I’m occasionally inclined to sample a Target brand item. My experience with these appetizers is much like my experience with Target purses: tasty, short-lived, adorable, and doomed to an unsatisfying end via shoddy construction and low-quality materials.

Mostly, I was bummed to realize that these appetizers are half air. That and the pastry wrapper tastes sort of strange, as though it was produced not just in a factory, but actually made out of a factory rather than normal ingredients like flour and lard. Also I had a lot of trouble finding the chicken inside this pastry. Was it disguised as corn? Plus, the filling was more watery than cheesy. After all of that complaining you think that I’d be really happy that half of each pastry-encased item was filled with air. But no, even if something is bad I don’t want to feel gypped.

The more I think about these appetizers the more I understand why I ate a few and then they just hung out in my freezer for a few months until I did my quarterly fridge and freezer clean-out and decided that maybe I should try these things because I am a poor, poor social worker. Too bad I’d forgotten that they were a waste of the energy it took to heat them in the oven.
