Tiffins ( Indian ) for best bargain lunch I would not touch with a pole. Too much hype and too little authenticity. Nothing Indian about it except the uncook like taste of its sauces and sweetishness of it., MSG comes to mind.
There are better bargain Indian lunches. Of course if you are a lazy SOB and rather stay put on ur butt then walk a block go for it, it does leave you full like a fool.
I give credit to its owner ( a Wharton grade ) whose marketing skills bar none is what makes the college a rave, another "Quiznos" franchise in the making.
But calling it Indian Cuisine....pluzze.

I made a pan of the raspberry flavor tonight (added plain yogurt and vanilla extract, no extras). I under baked mine slightly to give them a very fudgey texture. The first bite was good and rich, but I couldn't eat more than one small bite. You really can't tell these are fat free because they have done a great job of adding tons of sugar and deep rich cocoa to disguise that fact. They are so sickly sweet. I can't imagine anyone losing weight eating these. No fat, sure...but the first ingredient is pure cane sugar, then white flour. I got these online and could not see the ingredients list, I usually never do that, but this was an impulse buy. Unfortunately, my husband loves them. So I have 3 more boxes and almost a full pan in the fridge. For me, 28 grams of high sugar carbs are just not worth the small portion. I'd rather spend my carbs on something both luscious and healthy... like fresh juicy organic strawberries and dark chocolate. Looks like I am in the minority but I cannot recommend "No Pudge" because I think they are unhealthy. Sorry : (

Hi all thanks for all your great comments I'm blown away by the response I've had to this image keep an eye on the blog as there is more images in this series to come!
@megannesta your spot on it's an english breakfast well done.
@redhead no photoshop in this shot all in one the plate was 4 foot across and screwed to the wall with the model lying (a little awkwardly) on the floor.;-)

Would love this piece in my kitchen!

@juliebean, I was thinking hash browns or home fries with a glob of ketchup.

No pudge fudge is great! I'm a big fan-- they definitely have the chocolate flavor with chewy texture I like in my brownies. Hard to believe they're so low in fat :)

@cdp1223: "faux sweeteners"? There really aren't any in the No Pudge! stuff. Trust me, I wouldn't touch them if they had it. Maybe the ingredients list has changed since you last had 'em?

Sorry to be the dissenting opinion, but I have to admit that although I used to eat these quite regularly, I can admit that I have never really enjoyed them. They always retain the artificial flavor of faux sweeteners and have a heavy granular texture. After years of dieting and watching calories, I have decided that I would honestly rather have a smaller portion of something "real", you know?

The first time I tried No Pudge was sometime in high school (around 2000); I think I was intrigued by the "JUST ADD YOGURT!" bit and the cute pig on the package. And yeah, they were much better than I would've predicted. Haven't had em since then, but now I want to try them again.. :)

actually, I did the single serving in a ramekin in the regular oven and the texture came out great! You do have stay close by though as they cook up quickly... also, I accidentally bought a flavored box once and I have to say they have an artificial taste that the plain onces do not...I have added some ground up capuccino and they come out a little more "complex" if you can say that about a brownie mix. But really, I have been eating them for about 5 years and I can't figure out why more people don't know about them so good for seriouseats!

omg these come in cappuccino flavor?! and raspberry?! wow, I'm missing out!

I was so surprised the first time I tried these - they really are incredibly good for being low fat. Admittedly, I always add chocolate chips to mine, but even with that, they're still 'healthier' than full fat brownies. I also tend to have a bit of a problem eating more than just one...but I have that problem with regular brownies too, so I guess overall, I'm doing much better for myself eating these!

They're so much cheaper at Trader Joe's too - around $3 and usually $4+ at the grocery store.

hm looks like they have changed the box! i no longer make brownies from scratch as i have not found a recipe to match the dense and gooey chocolate deliciousness that is no pudge! brownies. they are my favorite, hands down.

These are great brownies for that quick fix because the ingredients are simple. No hydrogenated oils. So hard to find that sort of criteria in other brownie mixes.
