As you know, I like to try new foods now and then. With the price of food rising dramatically, I decided to go for a Marie Callender's discount special; two dinners for $5.00. The new thing I tried was mac and cheese with shrimp on top. The other was pot roast, which I like, and have added to my "now and then" schedule. To cut to the chase, the mac and cheese with shrimp was OK, but a bit bland. I could not really taste the cheese, nor could I taste the ostensible wine in the sauce. I'll give this one three stars out of five and move on. Do you occasionally try new foods?

I am not traumatized in any way. It was just...bland.

What would be the faux pas here? I mean, I LOVE shrimp fettucine and shrimp linguine and shrimp alfredo. All of them are noodles, cheese, and shrimp in some fashion or another.

@porwest Faux pas? I don't know. I enjoy my Stouffer's Fettuccini. It is tasty. But this stuff was bland.

I think i have had shrimp mac and cheese but I've made so many different variations on mac and cheese. Lobster mac and cheese and jalpeno bacon mac and cheese.
