  1. The land of convenience... xD those are awesome, I'd love to have a service like that here. We do have frozen meals here, but it's like half a dozen types at most, they are super expensive (sometimes more than just paying for restaurant delivery), and they generally don't taste great nor are very healthy... If you count lasagnas as a meal, several of them still have trans fat added. The stuff you find on supermarkets are generally bad... it'll do to fill you up, but there always seem to be something wrong with it. The rice comes out kinda raw, the pasta ends up mushy, meat has the consistency of rubber... You know when food is poorly frozen or it taste like it has been unfrozen and frozen back again? That. You can never trust supermarkets, restaurants, and delivery services to preserve the thing as they should. I have seen a few app based delivery restaurants offering frozen meals made by them, not industrialized, but they are really hit or miss... the better ones are labeled as "healthy food", and accordingly comes with the healthy food tax - by which I mean, they are too expensive for what they are, and portions are small. And I've never seen anything offering this much variety... the restaurants that offer frozen meals made by themselves at most will have some 4 or 5 choices based on the standard everyday brazilian meal. Rice beans and a few other stuff, beef stroganoff, feijoada, and then all sorts of pasta... the most common here are spaghetti, gnocci and lasagna. It's really made for those in a hurry, not for those looking to enjoy a meal. Though I think if I lived there, I'd just do a quick run to a kombini everytime. xD I mean, with frozen food you don't even have to leave home, but really, the only reason why I consider frozen food here is because there is nothing like kombinis around where I live, restaurants are expensive as heck, and everytime you go out you gotta have safety in mind because depending on time of day, you always have a chance to get mugged or something. :P So I have tried a whole ton of frozen, dried, and generally long preserved food... it's mostly been kinda like cup noodles - not the kind you see in Japan, the kind you see internationally... pretty basic and bad. But opposite to cup noodles, if it's a regular meal, it tends to be super expensive too...
