Lean cuisine - the best and the worst

We all eat them at least sometimes! Some of them are delicious, but others are so bad you'd be better off eating the box they came in. Which do you think are which?

My favourites
- tortilla crusted fish
- lemongrass chicken
- thai chicken (add your own veggies)
- chicken with rosemary (add your own veggies)
- butternut squash ravioli

Very disappointing
- Beans and rice (soggy tasteless mush!)
- lemon chicken (pallid soggy chicken with flavourless sauce)
- chicken in peanut sauce (no discernable peanutiness, just brown mud)
- spaghetti and meatballs (too sweet, not enough tomato flavour)

I haven't tried many out of fear of them being dissapointing.  So that means I avoid most of the ones that have beef.

My favs:

1. Steak and cheddar pannini
2. Ginger garlic stir fry with chicken
3. Chicken fried rice
4. Most of the pizzas
5. sesame stir fry with chicken

The ones I didn't like that much:

1. Southwestern chicken panini
2. Chicken in peanut sauce
3. glazed chicken (just plain boring)

I'm more of a SmartOnes girl but...

I really like the Deluxe Pizza from lean Cuisine.  At 380 calories it is a treat but better than other pizzas.

I love pretty much all of the pizzas especially the bbq chicken and margherita. The flat breads and paninis are yummy too! Also the Spa Cusines like the grilled chicken primavera.

I'm not too crazy about the steak tips and portabello mushrooms or swedish meatballs.

I love the cheese potato one (blanking on the real name).  It's really good to mix in extra veggies, tuna, and/or chicken.  

I second "butternut squash ravioli" and "thai chicken."

My fave is "three cheese stuffed rigatoni" (comes in a bowl)...with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese added on top.

Hated the swedish meatballs...

The only ones I've tried are the Butternut Squash ravioli and Margarita Pizza. I loved them both :]

I've never even seen most of the flavours you guys mentioned in the stores.  I'm slowly going off Lean Cuisines as I eat more from-scratch food, but a few I've really liked are:

• Italian Cheese Ravioli (not superfilling though; I tended to have it as a snack not a meal)
• Mango Chicken Curry
• Wild Salmon with Basil
