Default Chef Boyardee Throwback

Anyone try these products? Canned beef ravioli, lasagna and Beefaroni. They
are using an old recipe to make these. Not sure which recipe it is because
they have changed the recipes over the years.

For most of my adult life, I bought nothing of that brand. But I remember
the day that I did. Can't remember the whole story but I do remember showing
Angela a can and telling her that was what I ate as a teen. The ravioli that
is. Never liked Beefaroni and never tried the lasagna.

After that, I would buy a few cans when it was on sale for 88 cents. Of
course the ravioli I make is much better and even frozen is better. But
there is no egg in the canned stuff. Need to find a way to make it with no
egg. I was given a recipe but lost it.

Anyhoo... I ordered three cans of the Throwback ravioli from Amazon for
$1.58 each. I believe this is a marked down price as I had seen the
Beefaroni and lasagna in a few brick and mortar stores for around $3.

I tried the stuff last night and flat out didn't like it! Quite honestly, I
can't remember what it tasted like when I was a kid but I did drown it with
parsley and Kraft Parm. to eat it.

Anyone tried the Throwback stuff?

Yoose have probably had a prophylactic reaction to the stuff.

Throw it out yoose window, take two aspirins, and call a doctor in the
morning.

Chef Boyardee Throwup

It sucked when we were young but we were too undeveloped to know the
difference. It still sucks.

There is no way any B&M store was charging $3 for a can of
Chefboyadree. You just make up these inflated prices to justify your
overspending on online shopping.

Wow, I'm shocked! Stop the presses! Everybody knew the ending to
this as soon as we saw the subject and the poster. Next time just
post the subject and leave the body of the message blank - we'll get
the message.

We at canned pasta when we were kids. There were not a large Italian
community in the country at the time, certainly not in our small town,
and Chef Boy R D and Heinz were the only pasta we knew. Haven't touched
the stuff in more than 50 years.

How would you know what our prices are here? I saw it at Fred Meyer. But not
the Ravioli.

I know. I just don't know how to make Ravioli without egg and I mainly buy
this stuff for those times when I can't cook. We've had a lot of power
outages this year and are likely to have another with this storm. My water
heater is gas so I can fill a pot with hot water and set a can in it for a
while to at least warm it up a bit. Sometimes that sounds more appealing
than peanut butter and crackers.

My mom made spaghetti but it was horrible. She made the sauce from a packet.
It separated into pink watery stuff and red lumps. At the time, the only
pasta we ever had in the house besides canned was spaghetti, macaroni or egg
noodles. I do remember having canned alphabet soup. So alphabet noodles
might have been available but my mom preferred packets to scratch cooking so
she never would have made such a soup.

Mom was taught by Grandma. Grandma came from
Italy. i've learned how to cook pretty well from
Mom but have also branched out and learned other
cuisines too as i can.

I agree. Based on what I remember how any canned ready-to-heat & eat tomato
pasta product tastes (& smells), I have no intent to ever buy any again,
except maybe for a camping trip.

Notwithstanding that this seems be everyone's scentiment, I heave read on
the Internet somewhere that such items are actually 'haute cuisine' in
places with extremely limited markets where shipping costs are high, such
as remote islands, or way up north.

Sort of like caviar I suppose. I have eaten it and although I thoroughly
enjoy fish & most other seafoods(*), I will go after most other stuff
first.

(*) I have not yet tried the Greenland Shark that starts out toxic and is
made edible by burying it for a few months:

I have not tried this product but the appeal of a cheap meal in a can that you can shove in front of your brat's face to keep them their yaps occupied for a short while is undeniable. I was at the store today and saw a can of Beef-A-Roni so I bought one. I showed it to my granddaughter and she said "Eww, that's disgusting!" Evidently, she is familiar with Beef-A-Roni.

As far as I know, Chef Boyardee canned pasta products is made for parents/grandparents who don't want to spend a whole lot of time tending for their young offspring. They want something they can open and shove into the gaping maws of their little birdies so they're not hungry. Something rich in carbs so that the little dears might want to take a nappy afterwards. It is not meant to be eaten by anybody over the age of 7.

OTOH, back in the 60's the Chef Boyardee Spaghetti was standard American fare - enjoyed by adults and children alike. I've opened up quite a few cans of the stuff myself. One large can fed my parents and brother and I back in the day. Now that's what I call eatin' cheap!

Because I've proved your pricing drastically wrong at least twice
before and you tried to wiggle out of it with some bullshit. Each
time. I'd prove it again just so we could you wiggle and squirm,
but that stuff is long gone off of store shelves, including Fred
Meyer. So who gives a shit.

I don't think we ever had it when I was a kid. We did have Spaghettios. Ick.
And Campbell's soup. Our lunches at home were generally from a can.
Exception might be on a hot summer day. Then it might be cottage cheese,
tuna salad or raw veggies and a piece of cheese.

I did try the spaghetti as an adult as it was very cheap. It's not something
I prefer but I would eat it if starving.

The way I did it was to brown 1 lb of hamburger, drain, and add 1 large can of Boyardee Spaghetti, mix, then let simmer for a few minutes. Add several slices of American cheese and simmer until melted. I remember it as being pretty delish.

Oddly enough, my wife's Korean mother made this same dish. Beats me where she learned to make this. I thought it was something that only I made.

One can only hope that it hasn't spread any further than you two,

I'd eat it in a pinch. There's a lot of things more disgusting than some mushy noodles in an overly sweet tomato-like sauce.

Yes but I'm not sure if the fact that you'd eat something is a
recommendation

That's one large silkworm at about 3/4 pound. I'll have to recalibrate
my perception of them.

When for just me and I don't feel like taking the time to boil a pot
of water and then the time to cook pasta I'd cook a packet or two of
ramen noodles sans seasoning, plop the noodles in a sieve to drain and
then plop the noodles into a bowl of homemade pasta sauce that was
just nuked... far better than any canned pasta and costs a lot less...
I buy ramen in those large cartons of like 24 packets, comes out to
12-14 cents per. I'll usually give it a grate of cheese, and a few
sheds of left over meat found in the fridge. Ramen Italiano is cheap,
quick, and tasty. Years ago I tried canned cheese ravioli, blech!
Canned pasta is slippery slime and the sauce is gack.

The way I did it was to brown 1 lb of hamburger, drain, and add 1 large can
of Boyardee Spaghetti, mix, then let simmer for a few minutes. Add several
slices of American cheese and simmer until melted. I remember it as being
pretty delish.

Oddly enough, my wife's Korean mother made this same dish. Beats me where
she learned to make this. I thought it was something that only I made.

IMHO, all those Chef Boyardee canned pastas in sauce (Beef-a-Roni,
Ravioli, Spaghetti with Meatballs) are essentially the same. Only the
shape of the pasta is different.

I never tried the spaghetti with meatballs. Not a fan of meatballs. To me
the Beefaroni was different. Seemed kind of chalky or something.

No. I said my BF was a foodie. Actually he still is. He's just not my BF any
more. New BF is also a foodie. But his tastes and mine are not the same when
it comes to food.

The gardener did love the Pad Thai that I made the other day. Said it was
way better than what I got at Costco.

Geez Julie-o, you didn't like it? lol
Why is NOBODY here surprised?

Anyway, I always keep 2-3 cans in my pantry just as
easy food for hurricane season or just lazy nights.
I ate the last one about month ago so actually had
them on my grocery list for the next trip.

Never even heard about the Throwback kind so I looked it up.
Supposedly back to the old days when it was made much better or
so. Well I went to the store and bought 2 cans yesterday:
- the regular kind for 99 cents
- the new Throwback kind for $1.50

OK so next time I'm in the mood I'm going to open both cans and
have a side-by-side comparison. The Throwback cost 50% more so it
should taste much better. I'll just see about that though.

Or just a picky eater that's never experienced hunger.

All those Chef RD cans basically have the same
sauce and meat, just the pasta is different with
different mouth feel. Difference in taste is very
minimal.

I agree with you.

Does that sound good to you? Not so much to me.
Before you bother to make a loaf, why not let him try
a rye bread toast with cinnamon-sugar sprinkled on.

There's a Youtube of a guy doing a comparison. He did like the Throwback but
only slightly better.
