microwave gourmet ? for shame !

In my defense, I was terribly hungry. And there was a photo of a famous chef on the box. Otherwise, I would normally think twice before purchasing a microwave dinner. But how could you not intrust your lunchtime hunger to Joel Robuchon ? I mean, really.

The box looks so inviting, doesn't it ?

And it doesn't look too shabby in the bowl, either.

But Lucie's curiosity when I removed it from the microwave should've been a sign. It smelled downright fishy, and not in a good way, and the texture was very much akin to overpriced cat food. For shame, Monsieur Robuchon, for shame !! For the 5 euros it set me back, I could've bought 5 baguettes. Now I feel sad.
