Title: What are those little pasta pockets you bake?
Post by: HungerMechanic on Wed, 20 January 2021, 21:55:39
I remember a frozen food item you could buy at the supermarket [in Canada]. They were these little pockets that baked crunchy on the outside [pasta-like exterior], but there was this red/orange gooey pizza stuff in the interior.

I know about pizza pockets, but those are bun-sized. I'm thinking of bite-sized pockets you heat up on an oven tray. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Hot pockets are about the size of pizza pockets, so it's not what I'm looking for.

Thinking of something about ravioli-sized. They're kinda deflated in the box, but they inflate when you heat them up.

Yes! Okay, thanks for reminding me.

These are closest to what I was thinking of.

I think that a Canadian manufacturer makes something similar, but these are close enough for now.

There was this thing we used get when I was a kid that I haven't seen since the 90's. It was a chicken, ham and cheese with breadcrumbs on the outside. It looked like a regular chicken burger but it was much tastier. They still have chicken cordon bleu around but I liked the thin over processed jawns better.

Also remember 90's veggie burgers being better. Maybe they just seem more bland to adult tastebuds. Tesco had spicey bean burgers that had a nice kick to them but they'd discontinued those too.

The bean ones are ok,  but the beyondmeat pattie is most nxt lvl.

The impossible one is tasty too, but the texture is not as good as beyond.

The Beyondmeat Sweet and Hot Sausage is top notch.

My local costco also carries the praegers veggie burger pattie, and that is the more traditional 90s deepfried bean pattie.  Tastes similar to a deepfried spring onion pancake.

I wanna know the answer: what is the Canadian version of Totino's Pizza Rolls? I know they don't sell them there, there's entire articles about it.

They're thinking of Pizza Rolls (Totino's).
