The Take
No. The Slop Score is 47. Traditional potato-pea-spice filling gets wrecked by commercial seed oil fryers and wheat dough carbs.
Nostalgia buyers chase pre-1990 street cred but settle for industrial versions that signal cope more than health.
The Verdict
Skip the freezer aisle. The Slop Score is 47.
Make your own with ghee and tallow — zero seed oil tax, full based dividend.
