This is a new product. The ingredients sounded
a lot like a long-forgotten product, Progresso's Caponata. I think that was something like $1.69 for a small can* about 10 or 15 years ago. This stuff is $2.49 for a can about twice as big -- 9.9 oz, was there some crazy reason not to bump it up by 1% and make it an even 10 oz? I imagine there was some executive at TJ's saying "I don't think I could eat 10 oz". Idiot. Probably the same guy who said "We can't call it caponata. Nobody knows what that is". How's it taste? It is really close to Progresso's Caponata. I think it has a wee bit more oil and juice. Also, the eggplant is cut into much larger chunks. But it has a lot of familiar flavors. If you've been wistfully nostalgic for Progresso's Caponata, you need a can of this stuff. Right away before TJ's drops it. (* There were two sizes, but they were both small and I don't remember exactly how big they were. I think the larger of the two was about 5 oz.) |
