I introduced my mother to the amazingness that is Trader Joe’s.
While there, she spotted the Trader Joe’s Lobster Ravioli and wanted
to give it a try. I vouched that I’d try
it with her even though I am truly not a lobster fan. I’ve tried to eat lobster numerous times, but
I just can’t get past the texture. I
know I know … I’m a bad New Englander!
Typically I love Trader Joe’s items and had high hopes that
this would transform me into a lobster lover. I mean, ravioli’s are delicious,
so I was hoping it was possible. I mean I began to enjoy shrimp after my mother
started making her homemade bake stuffed shrimp so I feel anything is possible!
These were boiled per the package directions and once
cooked, removed from the water. My mom had her serving with butter on it and I
spritzed mine with spray butter. I was a
little hesitant because the ravioli had a very strong fishy scent just sitting
in the bowl. Considering I’m not the
biggest fan of seafood, I was a little turned off. But I decided I’d give it my all…
First bite I thought these are very fishy. Second bite, it
started to taste like the inner portion of a very fishy crab cake (and it
resembled one, but a red colored crab cake). Third bite (this from one ravioli
BTW) I was completely repulsed and couldn’t handle anymore. These are just HORRIBLE! My mom, who is a lobster fan, was completely
repulsed by these. She ate almost 2
ravioli and threw in the towel. I admit,
she was a lot braver than I because I threw in the towel after 1. Her facial
expression said it all, but she did let me know they were completely disgusting.
High hopes aside, this is an item I will not be repurchasing
ever again. A serving was ½ the
container – roughly 6 ravioli and the serving was 7 points plus. Not worth even
the few points I threw away testing these out. Yuck!
QUESTION:
What is one food you had high hopes for but it turned out to
be a giant flop?
