To me, the Beefaroni is more mushy and has a weird meat texture. The meat
isn't in chunks. Just very tiny bits.

It really is good! Smelled wonderful while baking and I tried a bite when it
was done. Will be good for breakfast!

Sounds like they're trying to beef up business. I can't imagine
paying more for something called Throwback. If it was so much better in
the old days why did they change it? Gotta love marketing!

At any rate, it's still just canned pasta in sauce. If/when you do your
taste test I'd be interested in hearing the results. I'm not going to
watch a youtube video about it.

Did you also add sugar to that cinnamon rye bread dough?
I've got rye bread. I might try a bit of cinnamon on a corner
just to see how it tastes.

Again, I think it's all the same ingredients/recipe, just with
different pasta and texture. None of their meat is in "chunks."
It's all ground very fine unless you are talking about the
ravioli where a good cube of ground is inside and all alone.

If you somewhat like the ravioli, skip the small ones and buy
those cans of large over-sized raviolis. Again, same ingredients
but I do like the texture difference with each bite.

Look at Julie, always trying to insert those covert tidbits of her
wannabe personal life into unrelated conversations. You just forgot
to say. "But for reasons I'm not going to discuss that here and
now".

And no, you said that of your "gardener". You just wanted to
mention you "boyfriends" tonight.

My granddaughter is a picky eater that's never experienced hunger but that just means that she's like the typical rfc poster.

I had some Beef-A-Roni last night. It tasted pretty much like I expected and it sure hit the spot - that would be because I was experiencing hunger.

I thought 'here' meant the US. But if it means Hawaii, even more so.
If there was ever a famine in Hawaii, food would be brought in from
the mainland.

Hawaii (AKA the rock) isn't really part of the US, according to dsi

And, don't biblical famines always extend to all areas where god gets
off by killing people?

Then Asians will have to help them. Although Asians don't tend to give

If it hits the entire US, we can always fly in cabbages from Australia
and Europe.

Of course you don't. That's how "it can't happen here" works. As far you believing that I think people should be humbled for their disrespect of foods, that's just your prejudiced, egocentric, desires, talking.

My message has always been that we should enjoy ourselves and be thankful for what we got because all this could be taken away from us at any time.

OTOH, as we all know, it can't happen here.

Each of us could be dead tomorrow, so carpe diem, yes, but a famine?
How? A locust swarm of continental proportions? An earthquake that
swallows half the continent? Something viral that attacks all food? I
don't see it.

Yes, I know you don't see it. As we all know, if you can't see it, it doesn't exist.

The overstuffed is what I usually buy. Some stores don't carry it. But I
only buy the beef. Not the sausage.

The recipe calls for 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar. That's what I used.

The claim is that there is more meat in the old style and it's Angus beef.
Also no high fructose corn syrup and the sauce it much thicker. A person who
did a comparison thought there was far too much garlic in the old style.
That could be it. I can handle a small amount of garlic but not too much.

I never said that my gardener was a foodie. That was something you made up
to go along with when you made up that he was married. He is a much more
adventurous eater than I am and does seem to like heavily seasoned foods.
But he also eats odd combinations that most people won't.

For instance, last night I made an Italian type soup. Ground beef, beans,
pasta, asst. veggies in a tomato/beef broth/liquid.

He took a bowl, put cubes of Swiss cheese in it, cottage cheese, some
guacamole, added some soup. Topped that with some salad that was asst.
vegetables with olives, Feta cheese and pecans. Added a goodly drizzle of
honey on top. There may have been more things he added that I left out but I
hadn't eaten yet. I didn't want to lose my appetite and had to keep looking
away. Does that sound like a foodie to you?

I will say that he was in a big hurry when he dished up the food and he took
it to go. He has been moonlighting with another job because there's not much
need for gardening services with all this snow. He wanted to get a plow for
his truck and would have been doing that but the truck isn't running at the
moment.

Tonight's dinner 1" THK pork chops... delicious!

"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.

There's the he's not her BF anymore but the current BF is but it's not
the gardener. She always did say she was a Princess. Now she's Queen
Bee and all these honeys are hovering around. Why do I find this hard

It sounds like somebody using up everything you buy while he can.
It sound like he feels right at home.

Who ****ed in your Cheerios? There was none available in the stores here so
online was the only choice. And I had to place an online order as I had an
appointment on the phone and couldn't leave the house. Plus the order came
before the snow got worse. Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten delivery. People
that did try to go to the store were mainly stuck buying canned goods
anyway. They said first to go was the beer, then milk, bread and eggs. Then
fresh produce. Stores were sold out of nearly everything.

The gardener was never my BF and he was also never married or a foodie. And
yes, I do have honeys hovering around. Sorry if you're jealous.

Betcha it isn't for the food. Julie isn't into 'gourmet' judging by previous
postings.

Probably inside now? You have snow and your back house has no
heat or plumbing. I remember. So if he lives in your house or
property, is he paying some kind of rent? He should be.

HUH? They sell sausage versions of this? Never seen it here but
if I do, I'll definitely try a can. Probably much more
flavorable.

I don't actually care if her gardener was her boyfriend or married or
not. Or how many "boyfriends" she's had before, during or since her
divorce. I'm certainly not jealous. As for her/their taste in food,
she started the thread about Chef Boyardee 'Throwback' canned pasta.
AFAIC, that pretty much sums up the "foodie" factor. Or lack thereof.

I read that and thought "HUH?" too, Gary. Not that I look for it but
I've never heard of Chef Boyardee (any kind) having a "sausage" version.
I'd like to see a citation for that.

Hell, I would believe *anybody* that told me they were not jealous of Julie.

Well, 'cept maybe yoose
