I prefer Fluffernutter with a little sprinkle of geezer buds.

:yum: I may have to run to the store for the canned ravioli and Kraft cheese, but Iā€™m sure I have at least one jar of Fluff in the pantry :yum: :yum:

Despite the fact that this place is less than two hours from me, I think Iā€™ll pass :nauseated_face:

I dislike the canned ā€˜meatā€™ in canned ravioli.

I will absolutely glug down Spaghettios straight from the can, room temp.

I also heartily endorse ritz and spray cheese.

As usual, Mitch has the last word on the subject.

Now that the silliness is done, Iā€™ll confess that Chef Boyardee ravioli are a guilty pleasure of mine. I only indulge about once every five or six years. Mrs. ricepad gags at the thought, so I reserve my reverie for when sheā€™s eating elsewhere.

Iā€™m solidly in Mrs. Ricepadā€™s camp.

The closest I ever came to that was when we lived in New York, and the only tamales we could get were Old El Paso in a can.

Iā€™m sorryā€¦I just ā€œgo hoboā€ right out of the can. Always have. Only way to eat them in the purest form, IMHO.

Honestly - same. Literally every 5-10 years. Always with a couple slices of Cabot sharp cheddar on the side. I blame college.

College feast. Weā€™ve all done it, even though we might not admit it.

There was something similar - an updated version, if you will, that was available in 2020 in 5 or 6 flavors. You microwaved the package; the sauce was in a little separate cup inside the tray, and then you mixed it. I had a stash at the beginning of the pandemic. Sadly, Barilla discontinued them. Heomel Compleats are inedible. Iā€™d rather go with spaghettios.

I used to love Annieā€™s Organic Cheese ravioli but Safeway and Target in my area stopped carrying them, cans. I even liked them cold with a dab of mayo. Good for when youā€™re starving and have no energy to cook and clean up.

I think Iā€™ve already shared this, but here goes. My father was home alone when my then roughly 8 year old niece dropped by. Trying to entertain her, he asked if she were hungry. ā€œYes.ā€ He opens cupboard then asks her if she liked ravioli. ā€œYes.ā€ So he opens a can and heats some up for her.

You should be advised that her maternal grandmother is Genovese. Makes ravioli fit for the gods. Niece looks leery then tastes one and says, ā€œThese arenā€™t ravioliā€.

As a youth ate canned ravioli while camping. When itā€™s cold and youā€™re young, that stuff is tasty. I use to buy a can and leave in the cupboard but stopped a few years ago. I might have some in the emergency kit in the shedā€¦havenā€™t looked at that for years, maybe 10.

Over that long, what happens to canned goods can be amazing. Picked up a ten YO can of tomato soup from MILā€™s pantry. It rattled when shaken. All moisture was gone.

Is it perhaps time to classify it as a ā€œguilty pleasureā€? :woozy_face:

My prepper shelf now consists of freeze dried. :joy: assuming thereā€™s water ā€¦.
