I think that some of the items (onion rings, chicken, gravy, etc) come from a bag or a box - like Banquet) and have the salt from the preservatives. I know they are not fresh. But it is that way in a lot of places around here.

Do you remember if the mashed potatoes were real (with lumps) or processed (soupy). The first time my wife made me mashed potatoes she used a blender and I refused to eat them because there were no lumps. Since then she has always used a potato masher.
