People could put the stuff they didn’t want on the table and try to find something else they wanted. There would always be a bunch of candy bars, crackers, peanut butter and jelly, etc leftover. Anything pasta related was popular and good like chili Mac, spaghetti, vegetable lasagna, etc. I never cared for the rice entrees myself.

There was an Omelette entree around 20 years ago that was the worst thing ever created, people called it the Vom-lette.
