Nay: Fusilli with Vegetables & Basil Pesto

"Terrible" is a massive understatement for this frozen pasta. When cooked, it looks nothing like it does in the photograph. The pasta is tiny and inedible, the veggies are soggy and bland, and there is no fresh sprig of herbs laying on top of the dish. Do yourself a favor and take an extra ten minutes to boil a pot of water, cut up some veggies and make your own pasta with veggies.

Nay: Stone Ground White Corn Tortillas

TJs unfortunately misses the mark with these tortillas. They feel like stale sponge cake in your mouth and taste like cardboard. Combined with the fact that they rip easily even with the smallest amount of filling, you're better off with name brand or better yet, a product from a local tortilleria.

Nay: Turkish Smyrna Figs

Dried figs leave much to be desired, and are much tastier served fresh. This "nay" is most likely a result of personal taste and not necessarily reflective of TJs dried fruit selection, which is typically of a superior quality and flavor. These dried figs are tough, with grainy seeds inside. Unless you already love dried figs or have a specific recipe in mind, they are not worth it.

Nay: Roasted Seaweed Snack

Some people love seaweed as as snack; if you do, then ignore this review because it probably doesn't apply to you. For those who are unfamiliar with seaweed as a snack, this stuff isn't so great. While it has the earthy, salty, healthy taste found in seaweed salad or around the edge of a sushi roll, once you eat a piece of this it becomes a texture nightmare. Its gooey, slimy consistency and bizarre lightness (it is sliced paper thin and dissolves in a few seconds) leaves little to be desired.

Nay: Spinach & Kale Bites

Surprisingly, these taste much better than they look. They are small lumps of spinach, kale some cheese, and onion. The texture was decent for a frozen food; it was not mushy but it left something to be desired. Maybe a dipping sauce would help? These earn a "Nay" because it is not something I'd recommend to others or willingly serve to friends and family. Also, they are not very convenient for a frozen food: they have to bake for 15-20 minutes and cool for another 10. You're better off spending that 30 minutes making a salad with fresh spinach, kale, cheese and seasoning to achieve the same flavor.

Nay: Vegetable Birds Nests

These look much better in the packaging photo than they do after cooking them. In fact, eating the box packaging would be preferable to eating this soggy, flavorless "veggie" appetizer. The nests each allegedly contain zucchini and carrots, but most of the nests were a small lump of onions with a morsel of carrot and/or zucchini. The onion flavor completely overwhelms any other flavors, and the crunchy panko-like topping seen in the packaging is merely a soggy dusting of stale crumbs.
