Tonight I decided to have the flame-broiled beef patty for dinner.  I've been getting a little tired of the pasta dishes, so I figured, "Why not?" 

I was expecting the beef patty to be "soft canned" like the rest of the meat in the NS meals.  I did not expect what looked like a styrofoam replica of a burger patty.  It kind of reminded me of a Necco wafer, but big and burger-like.  Add boiling water, let sit for two minutes, and...burger??

I'm not one to shy away from new things (perhaps one of the reasons I've gained so much weight), so I was not about to let the Necco burger get the best of me.  I cooked it, added it to a whole wheat bun with some mustard and lettuce, and amazingly enough, it tasted like a real burger!  I really enjoyed it!

Next time, I'm going to pile it high with onion, lettuce, tomato, reduced fat cheese, mushroom, ketchup, mustard, and good times.

What a pleasant surprise :)
