Yes. Pretty sure that story has been posted here before.

I knew that way before the Yinternet ever existed. It's called "a

He was a very good cook, and a very popular guy and he would probably be shocked and angered if he saw some of the stuff being put into "his" cans these days.

I served a can of ravioli today. It looked a lot better than I remembered
it. I remembered the sauce being kind of orange. This was a deep red. Why
did I serve it? Somebody just kept bitching and wanted instant food. So
they got that instead of the steak and pierogies.

I hope you served it cold, and still in the can.

That stuff actually tastes better cold right from the can instead of
heated. All varieties get thin and soupy once heated. ugg.

I ate the ravioli for days on end for breakfast when in high school. No
microwave then. It got quick warming in a pan on the stove.

Normally I wouldn't even have it but daughter saw it and wanted it. It was
on sale to where you had to buy three cans to get the lower price which is
why we had two more cans.

I used to cook up a can of spaghetti for my parents and brother when I was a kid. I'd brown a pound of hamburger and then dump a can on that. Sometimes I layer on some American cheese if we had any. Somehow, back in the 60s, that was enough for a family of 4. Everybody ate small portions in those days.

Oddly enough, my wife says that canned spaghetti was a dish that her Korean step-mom used to make frequently.

I used the recipe for spaghetti from the Betty Crocker Boys and Girls
Cookbook. It had ground beef in it. I also made skillet spaghetti which
wasn't quite as good. It was all cooked in a skillet and the spaghetti was
broken in thirds. However, in those days my mom didn't really have a nice
pot that was suitable for cooking spaghetti so for that reason the skillet
one was a heck of a lot easier.

We didn't have a pot suitable for boiling spaghetti either. After graduating into cooking something resembling real spaghetti, I used a rather small pan to boil the pasta in. These days, I wouldn't attempt such a thing.

I used my Dutch oven for spaghetti but I had to bend it to fit in. For
smaller shapes I used the 2 Qt. pan not knowing any better. At some point
my mom got a pasta pot with an insert but I didn't like it. I now am on my
2nd Rachael Ray pasta pot. I love it although they don't seem to hold up
particularly well. I do love the long, oval shape because it is perfect for
spaghetti.

Or maybe a Modern Marvels, I forget.

Since this is only news to me, I guess everyone who replied to the
thread will just have to deal with it - because we aren't on Facebook
and I can't delete anything. Bwahahaha!

Nancy, I saw this video of Chef Boiordi on a television show, and I can
not remember the name of the program.

This was recorded before in 1953, before I was born.
