"Claim" being the operative word. The breed of cow (Angus) doesn't
really matter. It's still canned pasta in some sort of tomato sauce. I
don't expect "chunks" of beef.

You've already said you bought it and don't like it. Ordered it online,
per usual. Paid $1.58 a can and then complained about it. Whatever.

I don't plan to buy it. I was merely asking Gary to report back on his
taste test between the two versions. Many people happen to like garlic.
Not necessarily people who are heating a can of Chef Boyardee Trowback
canned whatever.
