Those US Army C-Rats use to contain the highly prized Spaghetti with meatballs in sauce. A large bottle of Franks Red Hot sauce kicked them up a notch. I would not eat canned spaghetti today but growing up we ate what my mom put on the table, there was no debating your choices. There was always the option of going hungry if you so desired.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 7:15 amI have never eaten any type of pasta out of a can in my life. Old Salt intimated that it’s hard to find chef boyardee and it is expensive.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 6:56 amYou can buy a pound of spaghetti and a large jar of sauce for under 4 dollars. If you know how to boil water and own pots and pans you have dinner for 4 at your finger tips. If you want to add sausage or meatballs you can buy em frozen but that will double the price of dinner.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 6:42 amhttps://shop.foodlion.com/product/80292 ... 91&irgwc=1
