Huh? We carry lots worse smelling things than unbaked pizza in our
not-so-minivan and have never had any odor hang around for more than a
few hours. Maybe you spilled sauce and don't know it - now that might
explain 3 weeks worth of odor.

Anyway, what we get is dough in a take-out tin - you have to spread it
out into a pizza shape yourself, and likewise the other ingredients are
well sealed enough that transport isn't a problem.

This would have been late '60s, after Pizza Hut and McD were in a growth
phase but before Hojo collapsed.

I miss Hojo. Not so much that I think there was anything special about
it but it was just such a fixture in the landscape.

I have never eaten at one. My dad wouldn't allow it but I'm not sure why.
We did stop at one, he looked at the menu and then said we were just having
drinks. Maybe too expensive? But I wouldn't think they were expensive!

I actually saw hot dogs in a can! Yes. Why? Why would such a thing be

You've never heard of Howard Johnsons? Hojos is a nickname for Howard
Johnsons. Just like MickeyD's is a nickname for McDonalds.

Every time I go to the supermarket, there's cases of Vienna sausage
stacked on the floor in a pyramid. The stuff is popular here. I used to
eat those things when I was a kid but find it pretty icky these days.
OTOH, in an emergency situation, those cans would be as good as gold and
I'd stuff my trench coat with as many cans as would fit. You don't even
need a can opener. You can also use the lids as makeshift slashing
blades too...

Hojo was a big upmarket as roadfood goes. Their room rates were a bit
high as well. We'd eat there on trips (my Dad was in the Navy--we moved
a lot) but the first time I stayed at one was on my first away from home
job interview--the company set it up and paid for it, and by that time
they were in decline--by the time I got the job the place was under a
different name.

Good God. That's what Hojo is? Christ almighty. Call it by it's

BTW, I saw Garden Burgers the other day - but no Bocca in sight, so

We eat those from time to time. Granted they do *not* bear any resemblance
to or taste like real tamales. And unwrapping the paper they are wrapped in
is messy because they are in sauce.

What I do is to layer them with some form of tomatoes. Usually canned,
chopped or if I have them, chopped fresh. I also use a ton of green peppers
and white onions cut in strips. Bake in the oven until heated through and
then top with black olives. I tried baking them with the olives but we
don't like it that way. Cheese on top is good too. Everyone in the family
likes this dish.

I remember seeing commercials but don't remember what they said. However
nobody needed to tell me what Hojos meant. That was pretty obvious.

Went to two grocery stores today and saw Bocca Burgers even though I wasn't
looking for them. They're pretty hard to escape!

Children growing up nMaine would never have known such things existed
otherwise. They were advertised on the radio, too. Were they to appear on
an Italian market shelf, I'd buy them!

Yes, and I bought two more today... but I already posted a picture...
shit for brains wouldn't believe the picture even if from
Anthony Weenie. There is no way to photograph these pizzas inside
their plastic wrap so someone couldn't say the plastic wasn't opened
and reclosed. Ask me if I care. Yes, occasionally I'll find the
slices of pepperoni have shifted a bit to one side, no biggie to even
them out before baking. No one should expect a heavily topped
perfectly arranged pizze, these things only cost five bucks with a
coupon: http://freschetta.com/pizza-coupons/default.aspx
I like that these frozen pies are not arranged perfectly evenly, means
they were made entirely by machine, not fingered by some unwashed
shithouse hands.

Is the plastic opaque?

On second thought, never mind; I think most of us know you're lying. THAT is
pretty transparent.

I didn't say that I complained. I didn't. I just didn't look forward
to pizza. I would have rather had spaghetti, either with meat sauce,
or even better, meatballs. Pork chops, pot roast, steak, hamburgers,
chicken (fried, baked or grilled), fish (as long as it wasn't "jack
salmon," and I didn't even complain or refuse to eat that) all were
better than the pizza kit. As I type this I am eating a Palermo's
Supreme Ultra Thin Crust, to which I added a little shredded parmesan
before baking. http://www.palermospizza.com/primo-thin.aspx
Everything about it is good, but a just-about-as-thin, super yeasty
crust would be even better. I don't think that yeast goes from frozen
to active in the time it takes a pizza to cook.
Considering my overactive sense of smell, I'm not a spoiled brat about
food, and never have been. I've lived on the street in the Winter in
St. Louis, subsisted on two day old unsold cake donuts made by John
Kuthe, and have dumpster dived into a McDonald's dumpster. I was 20
then. I am more "spoiled" now, but I still waste very little food. I
know how it feels to be hungry.

Are you trying to say your family made *dinner* out of boxed pizza or
that you wanted your snacks to be dinner-like? It was never dinner at
my house, just a snack.

I will say it in different words for you: When boxed pizza was the
only game in town and I had nothing else to compare it to. It was PDG
and I don't care what your opinion of it is or was.

Way back then this was a zillion times better than pizza:

I'll grant you they're delicious, but I hadn't even heard of that "way
back then". My first experience with sandwiches made that way was at
a Renaissance Fair in the early to mid '70's.
