Sometimes, one loves a nice can of Beef-A-Roni.

Nyet!

I mean, "noP fellow citizen!

I'm 67 and I don't think I've ever eaten it. Same for Spaghetti-Os.

That would be a hard “No”

I keep a few cans in my cupboard as emergency Can O Food when I don't have anything for dinner

I'm waiting here patiently for all of the responses that everyone can make their own Beef-A-Roni faster and cheaper in their own kitchen

Isn't it just ravioli in a tomato sauce?

Fuuuuuuck yeah.

Isn't it really salty? Can't eat that shit!

I ate it as a kid, along with Spaghetti-O's with franks or meatballs. I bought a can of ravioli when I was around 30 or so, just to give it another spin for memories' sake. Salty and sweet, and not in a great way. They're probably not the same product as in the 60's or 70's I'm sure. Not that those versions were health food by any stretch.

I have no clue what a beef-a-roni is, and not wasting my time to google it. If it’s the stuff in that can, which says ravioli, I’ll pass

Ravioli is ravioli. Beef-a-roni is beef-a-roni, smartycunt.

"Sometimes, one loves a nice can of Beef-A-Roni."

Does one?

I'm sure that must be true if one loves to shop at Walmart.

Does one enjoy a ride on one's Rascal Scooter?

R9, Chef Boy Ar Dee is also selling a "throwback" version of these. They come in yellow labeled cans with retro fonts/designs. I thought they tasted worse, IMO. I keep a few cans of the Beef Ravioli in my pantry. I very seldom eat them, but once in a blue moon if I'm too lazy to cook and make a bunch of pots and pans and dishes to clean, they hit the spot.

One does.

RUSTY!!!!!!!!!!

Mushy ravioli with a gritty filling in a weak tomato sauce. Ah....memories.

Mom! Is that you posting from heaven?

When I'm in a "no cook" mood I usually resort to one of several things: (1) canned Progresso soup; (2) cheese & crackers with maybe a hardboiled egg; (3) salad.

I don't even remember my mom buying Chef-Boy-Ar-Dee shit, (although I suspect she probably did sometime).

One does.

Mushy is an understatement.

People with no teeth would have no problem eating it - or gumming it, actually.

I have a can of mackerel in the closet. Vile stuff that I purchased thinking it was canned salmon. I very occasionally make fried "salmon balls", drained salmon, breadcrumbs, onions cooked in butter, and parsley or paprika. I do this when I want fish and have nothing fresh on hand. But the mackerel is inedible. I'm donating it along with the can of sauerkraut to the local food pantry.

This, along with the perfectly ordinary seemingly later edition of Pearl Buck's "The Good Earth" offered used on Amazon for $117,213.16, is some kind of code to shoot a Bulgarian dissident with a ricin-pellet fired from an umbrella on Waterloo Bridge?

All the plans are coming into place?

One only does on one's birthday, as the rest of the year one eats canned cat food and talks to invisible people.

Good for a hangover.

Yes if I were white trash living in a trailer in the south.

"Hooray for Beefaroni!"

R11 I'm loving "smartycunt". I just may have to use that sometime soon.

Yes, sometimes you just have a complete breakdown and pop a can.

Spaghettios with Franks

R21 Try these next time. They're truly the best I've had, even considering costlier, hard to find Japanese and Portuguese brands.

everybody sing!

Have none of you noticed the sugar in these products? Yummy!

Heart attack in a can!

I lost the taste for that crap when I hit puberty (which was over 40 years ago)

A lifelong addiction to canned Beef-a-Roni finally caught up with her and took her down.

I wonder if any of the Chef Boy-Ar-Dee products are available in Italy?

Maybe in the "Oh, How We Laughed" aisle, R36.

I have a recipe for pasta e fagioli that tastes eerily like really good Spaghetti-Os.

I can’t even get past the smell of that vile crap!

blech, disgusting

It's a regular in our pantry

Get a loada Morris the Cat at R30!

Baby food.

I keep cans of Hungarian goulash for those moments. Some pricey tinned French soup, too.

r44 I've never heard of or seen canned Hungarian goulash.

Can't believe noone so far has mentioned that a remark like this can be taken literally, or Figuratively, as in "sometimes, one loves a dumb, but nice and sexy fuck by a well built person." ;-)

R45 - sold in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and yes Hungary. There are several brands and its sinfully salty, paprika-y and delicious.

I don't think I have ever tasted it.

R45 Depends on which country you live. I see the goulashsoup all the time.

One food from my childhood that I never want to eat again.

tinned goulash isn't healthy but it's comforting. Which is why I put it in the Beef-a-roni thread!

[quote] "sometimes, one loves a nice and sexy fuck by a well built dumb person."

Fixed

I tried some canned ravioli recently, and had to put it down the garbage disposal. It's become both sweeter and saltier than I remember. And I used to eat it straight from the can with some hot sauce and a 40 oz beer, so I'm not speaking from a culinary pedestal.

[quote]Can't believe noone so far has mentioned that a remark like this can be taken literally

Can't believe someone thinks that "noone" is a word.

And then again, OP, sometimes one doesn't think Noodles and Beef are a great combination.

Linda Chapman, for example

My hot fuck buddy from the trailer park comes over sometimes. Tight body, natural six pack abs (not those gay gym abs.)

After we're done I give him some Beef-A-Roni and he loves it.

Is that a euphemism?

[quote]I'm 67 and I don't think I've ever eaten it. Same for Spaghetti-Os.

What are you waiting for?! Dare to try something new!

I very rarely like a can of the ravioli and then immediately regret eating it. I've never had Beef-a-Roni though. Can't imagine it would taste much better.

Pair it with a YooHoo and one is in!

I prefer not spending the next day stuck on the toilet. So, no.

What about the Lasagna OP?

I'm partial to beef of roni

R29 is correct, Spaghetti-O's with sliced franks for the win. Hell yeah. Add lots of canned parmesan.

You are not alone OP!

R8 - wait until you are majorly sodium deficient like me from my epilepsy meds...shit that would make others gag makes you feel normal. I can eat that and down a whole can of V8 and feel nothing but a slight tilt towards normal.

R18 - I once had major food poisoning and the ONLY thing I could eat was Progresso soup with saltines and a glass of tomato juice with a ton of lemon...crazy but the chicken noodle Progresso with the sodium must replenish your electrolytes my doctor said that I had lost while being sick. I ate that and a few hours later snacked on a banana for potassium. I got well and that diet lost me 15 lbs.

You call that a jingle, R26??

Unless that's code for big Italian dick, no.
