It does sound gross, but they wouldnt put it on the market if it didnt taste good.
I have a friend here in germany who dips bratwurst in nutella and i find that revolting!
Something caught my eye at the supermarket today, its imported from america...
Cheddar Cheese sauce?

Eww...Nutella and brats? Chocolate (or Hazelnut) just should not ever touch certain things....
Cheddar Cheese sauce? You can mix it with Salsa for Con Queso dip (Tortilla Chips). You can also use it to make Mac & Cheese with or add chili and Cheddar Cheese Sauce to a hot dog (or brat) and have a Coney Dog on us.
Personally though I stay away from the Cheese Sauce. I might as well have a tub of lard to dip my chips in.

I have high cholesterol and am trying to lose 10 pounds and eat healthier so my cholesterol number will drop so that really is the last thing I need. What is Jimmy Dean trying to do, kill people?
This is interesting... The few times I've tried these kinds of foods, they taste terrible, like chemicals, and not at all like real food. I think most people are used to processed foods, though. It's a real shame especially for kids, and this is marketed towards kids. Their sense of taste goes askew, and this kind of crap tastes O.K. before they can learn to like foods that nourish their bodies and keep them healthy. What a mess.

p.s. I found this on the web.
Jimmy Dean Pancakes and Sausage on a Stick
Cost: $5.98/14 servings
Prep: 60 seconds in microwave
Fat: 12 grams (4 grams saturated/ 0 grams trans fat)
Calories: 210
Marketing: "A pancake breakfast in a minute!"
Evans' reality check: "The first three ingredients (enriched bleached flour, water and sugar) are terrible. It only has 5 grams of protein, and that is a terrible way to get protein."
Alternative: Make a whole grain pancake (or Kashi frozen waffle) and wrap it around a veggie or low-fat turkey sausage.
I see your point, personally because i have been brought up with proper foods i dont like alot of the frozen quick stuff!
But i do know alot of people who absolutely love ravioli out of a can... thats just a example.
I just think that alot of parents shouldnt be so lazy to cook.
I agree that people eat so much processed crap nowadays that they don't know what real food tastes like.
I don't know, I think that's kind of unfair. You know, it's not always so easy when you have two working parents. But there are alternatives to this kind of convenience food that are just as quick and much healthier--I don't have kids, but if I did, I'd much rather give them a bowl of Cheerios and a banana than one of these things.

IMO, parents should take care of their kids, that is their responsibility. Just because parents are busy does not mean the kids should suffer. Especially feeding them this junk. And why are these manufacturers putting out this "convenient" junk anyway and make them so cheap and healthy food so expensive?!
DH and I have been on a Whole Food diet for almost three years, and it can be really difficult at times. Here are some things that we've found that work for us:Originally Posted by watchcaddy

1. When you buy food do all the preparation work when you get home from the grocery store. Make this part of your shopping ritual and it will soon become second nature.
2. Get a good basic cook book. Most of the recipes can be converted by little or no effort by switching out most of the ingredients with healthier alternatives.
3. Get everyone in the home involved in the cooking process. Not only did my husband and I learning to cook save our marriage, but it opened up the lines of communication. Leaning over a pot of homemade spaghetti sauce is a wonderful time to ask your child about his or her new boyfriend or girlfriend.
4. Have fun with it! Eating healthy doesn't have to mean that everything tastes bland it means that you get to have an adventure. Have you ever tried turmeric? No? Well find a recipe and see how it tastes!

I agree with you. We get everyone involved, Stewie and Rupert, they love to help.
Man, there really are some weird things to eat!! That looks disgusting!
I don't know if it was you or the Evans suggesting this, but you kind of have to be careful with Kashi, some of their stuff, such as they're frozen waffles can have a higher grade of sugar than necessary.
Just one thing I recently learned.
Lookingglass - I totally agree how difficult it is to find better foods. with B being diabetic, I'm constantly having to watch what goes into the food cart. Suddently Frosted Flakes as a snack is out of the question. When you concentrate on sugar and carbs, and finding lower to non existant quick and easy meals is almost gone.
Here's a challenge - go to the grocery sometime and come back with a bunch of low-carb or no-carb snacks that do not need to be cooked or waited long for in the microwave. Find anything other than Beef Jerky? That's right...even the Aktins stuff didn't work because half the time the total carbs were more than the regular style of the food.
One word: gross.
Carrot sticks (any veggie really), cut up green peppers, etc
Can of tuna (if you like tuna)
Deli lunchmeat and cheese
Give me time, I'll think of some more.
Carrots and more so baby carrots are high in sugar. Corn, peas are high in sugar.
I guess through in there that you're shopping for the pickiest eater on the planet. He likes tuna, but doesn't eat it without Mayo...but I don't make the tuna and mayo right and he's too lazy to do it himself.
the deli trays are the only ones (with cheez) that I can come up with, but they're like $10 and up.
