The Madras Lentils remind me a lot of really good Louisiana Red Beans (as in Red Beans & Rice--with or without sausage). Very flavorful and actually a bit meaty in taste. I first encountered them at Trader Joe's but it seems that they are going over to their own labels and they wouldn't admit that they were using TastyBite (see someone else's review of Punjabi Eggplant)so I'll stick with the original. I've also tried, and liked, the Punjabi Eggplant. |

Everything in it is healthy stuff, and it's a wonderful thing to use as a topping for baked potatoes or rice.
Use your imagination! Add sliced chicken, top it with cheese, mix-in tofu -- the world is yours!
Every Tasty Bite Entree I've purchased was really good and worth the price and can add amazing variety to your meals. |

Tasty Bite Madras lentils do taste an awful lot like beef chili, a perfect alternative for those who love chili but want a vegetarian alternative. They also have a similar mouth feel and a nice hearty spiciness. What they do not have is a lot of excess calories. One can eat the whole pouch (2 servings worth) and only ingest a mere 240 calories. That can't be beat! |

Compared to some of the others, it's a little more soupy; I add one GoGo Organic Brown Rice bowl to the mix and put it all in the microwave together for a very filling, very satisfying meal. It does rank on the medium spicy range so if you are averse to a little heat with your meal I would suggest one of the other more benign Tasty Bite meals (such as Agras Peas and Greens). I like that the sodium content is not too high (34% of the RDV if you consume the entire packet yourself) and that the taste is so interesting and complex, given that it is an "instant" item. A friend who hails from south India tried this at my urging and was absolutely delighted by it - she and her Morrocan husband both really enjoyed it and went on Amazon to buy their own stash! I whole-heartedly endorse this particular meal on the merits of its simplicity, too - no crazy preservatives or chemical ingredients.
As with many other Amazon offerings, the price they give is not entirely representative of a good deal - the Tasty Bite website offers 1 package for $1.99 each. Where you make out well is when you combine the purchase of several with free shipping here on Amazon and the occasional sale.
One last note of caution - be careful of a bit of splatter when opening the vacuum sealed pouch for the first time. |

Johnson | 4 | 4 | 5 | 1243987200 | Madras Lentils, a 'Tasty Bite' Entree | Once sampling this wonderfully flavored lentil bean entree at Costco, I had to buy a package. Once that was consumed, I had to find more packages, which I found on Amazon.com.
This very tasty entree is sooooooo easy to store, fix (microwave 1 to 2 mins) and serve up.
Serve:
1. Alone as a bowl of beans or soup
2. Over a bed of white rice
Campers and backpackers...this would work very well for you.

Indian food is good and all, but I was never a big fan of beans. I went ahead and took it anyway. One night I had nothing in my cupboard, so I went ahead and gave it a try. Boy was I glad that actually I had. As soon as I took my first bite I was flabbergasted that I was actually eating beans--and loving every bite of it. It has just the right amount of spices. It's so creamy and scrumptious. Tasty bite is quite a good description of how delicious this meal truly is. If you like Indian food and lentils, I would recommend this dish. You don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy this. This Indian food does not mess around. Hell, it tastes better than meals I've tried at authentic Indian restaurants. Buy it! You won't regret it. |

Just finished eating it for dinner and it was perfect for the winter storm weather because it tastes exactly like chili. I served it over a little rice to soak up the excess gravy and topped it with fresh chopped jalapeño and a dab of sour cream with corn tortilla chips to eat with it. Yummy! Instead of serving it over rice, you could also add some leftover beans or lentils of any kind.
The flavor is excellent and the lentils and red beans retain their texture. I have finally figured out that Tasty Bite does a passable job with beans and lentils as opposed to softer vegetables that end up mushy and flavorless and swimming in sweet sauce.
Also, Tasty Bite has finally moved towards eliminating the cardboard boxes that the flexible retort pouches have been packaged in, saving trees and lots of energy in package production and shipping. Thank you Tasty Bite!

On its own I think its just ok but it does make a great base when you add additional lentils and kidney beans it also increases the serving size substantially and makes it worth the price. I saute a 1/4 cup of chopped red onion with 1 chopped garlic clove and 1 tablespoon of olive oil until the onion is tender. Then I add 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil. I reduce the heat and add a pinch of salt and 3/4 cup of French lentils. Cook the lentils until just tender and stir in 1 can of drained kidney beans plus 1 Tbsp butter and the contents of the package. Heat thoroughly. You can add vegetable broth or water to adjust the consistency. Tastes great as a soup or side dish and is great with salmon and adds some variety to my meals. |

One minute in the microwave and they're ready to enjoy. Not only do they taste great, but they're also very healthy. The only serious criticism I have is that the packaging is a little excessive and should be reduced; the food itself is nutritious and delicious. |

I do think that the Tasty Bite portions are on the small size for claiming two servings (unless you're serving it with other food items) but they're always just the right amount to fill me up. This one in particular I found to be extremely filling. Tastes just like a mildly spicy beef chili without the beef. Tofu and an extra can of kidney beans stirred into the mix could easily make this a filling meal for four. |

We recently had the chance to sample Tasty Bite Entree, Madras Lentils, 10-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12) and I was very surprised at how good it was. Unlike my daughter I do not normally care for any type of Indian cuisine, but I liked this. It can be best described as a meatless chili, but with better flavor and texture than most vegetarian chili. It also had a nice level of heat to it. Enough to notice, but not enough to be unpleasant.
Serving suggestions were to use as a filling for tacos or over basmati rice. So far my daughter prefers to just eat it by itself.
Now that we have found Tasty Bite brand products, my daughter is looking forward to trying out some others. I think Tasty Bite Entree, Kashmir Spinach, 10-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12) will probably be next. |

It's GREAT for office food. I heat up a container of Annie Chun's Rice Express Sprouted Brown Rice, 6.3-Ounce Microwavable Bowls (Pack of 6), combine it with the contents of the Madras Lentils in a deep microwaveable bowl, give it 2 more minutes in the microwave and I've got a hot tasty filling filling, low fat high fiber meal (filling enough in fact that I often end up eating 1/2 and saving the rest for later). Both of these products require NO refrigeration so they are perfect for keeping around the office, at ~$5.50/meal if you eat it all at once, $2.75 if you split it between two meals.
I also eat it at home.
From a Weight watchers standpoint, the rice and the lentals add up to 10 points total, but like I said its filling enough for 2 meals.
I will say, this is Indian food Lite, as in its processed food, and the spicing is mild. But it's very tasty |

I was disappointed when they stopped carrying it in our local grocery stores a few months ago. I seriously called every grocery store within 20 miles. I was ready to call the company and try to order it through them. I was so happy when I found it on Amazon, although, I was a little weirded out ordering food via the internet. Everything is fine though, there was nothing wrong with it and it's best buy date is not for about 7 months. The only problem is the price, I used to pay $1.50 per bottle but with shipping it equaled out to more than $5.00 per bottle. It's worth it. |

I don't eat salads much because the acid in most dressings tends to wilt the greens before I'm finished. When on a diet, I have "Monster" salads with hard boiled eggs, tomatoes, turkey, Cheddar cheese and pretzels (For crunch). Worried about calories? Use half Peiffer and half Salsa. I'm sure a doctor would not endorse this kind of diet, but I lost 60 pounds in 8 months.
So why are Peiffer products so hard to find? |

| 92172 | 92172 | B004S07FRE | A354JL3SSZ87D9 | ghost | 5 | 5 | 4 | 1323388800 | Pretty darn close... | Be aware that this review regards Stagg's "Classic" style chili, as they make several varieties. We prefer the "Silverado" style, but Stagg made the labels so close we bought the wrong one. So we made the best of it, and it's not bad, but... the first thing you notice is the difference in how much grease has congealed to the top of the can, which is fairly considerable. If you like your chili greasy, scrape it off of the lid and dump it in. If you have heart concerns and/or for whatever reason do not want enough grease to free-up your average M-16 jam, just throw that lid away. Stagg Chili is still the best game in a can, but the "Silverado" is far and away the best, "Classic" comes in a fading second. More flavor than Hormel (same company owns both, but apparently does not make both in the same facility), but every bit as much grease. It may also be worthy of note that when our local Sam's Club gave us a (typical and by now anticipated) ration of BS (half-answers, 'get-back-to-ya's' and outright lies) about why they weren't going to carry our chili anymore, we gave Amazon a shot. We not only got our chili for about the same price, but also got it delivered to our door. If we can regularly make the same progress with the rest of our shopping list, it's finally "C-ya" to the Sam's Club BS for $36/year and hello 30 minutes on the computer and done. |

Then discovered Amazon, and the Tasty Bite Lentils was one of their Subscribe & Save items, allowing us to set up a purchase schedule and receive a 15% discount and free shipping, making the full purchase price around $26.
Then, earlier this year Amazon removed it from the Subscribe and Save and the prices went completely nuts. The lowest price on Amazon is now close to $37, and believe it or not, you can pay as much as $89 on Amazon for the identical package! Is that crazy??
Costco stocks it regularly in their stores for $6.99 for a package of 4 10oz envelopes. So for 12 envelopes (the same ones that you can buy here for $37), you can purchase 3 boxes of 4 at Costco for $21. That is 44% Cheaper than Amazon, I won't bother to compare with the $89 price on the linked product! Make up your own mind.
