Chef Boyardee Throwback

[Julie Bove]

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?

[Hank Rogers]

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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! :)

[Sqwertz]

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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. :)

How? A locust swarm of continental proportions? An earthquake that

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

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
to believe.

It sounds like somebody using up everything you buy while he can.

Who pissed 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.

Probably inside now? You have snow and your back house has no

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.

[jmcquown]

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. :)

Jill

[jmcquown]

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.

Wrong! We had three extended power outages prior to winter. We lucked out
once as the power went out just as I drove up. I had purchased a lot of
cheese, canned pineapple, and raw veggies. I put that stuff in some
insulated bags. We simply ate some from the bags for dinner so I didn't have
to open the fridge.

Since then, we have had several more outages from the snow. I had no way to
cook during an outage. My gardener did bring me a generator a couple of
nights ago. So now that could be an option. I would prefer not to use it
though. I do have a gas water heater so I can put a can of food in a pan of
hot water and at least take the chill off of it.

I never claimed to be a foodie. I just like to cook and bake.

[jmcquown]

(snipped a bunch of crap)

Stop trying to deflect. You didn't mention being snowed in or needing
canned beefaroni or whatever this "Throwback" stuff is. You asked if
anyone had tried it. Now you're just making excuses about why you buy
shit like this. For $1.58/can. In case I forgot to answer the original
question, NO, I've never bought canned Chef Boyardee Throwback pasta.

LOLOL Because you keep *telling* everyone! You're the one who provides
the huge backstory about your gardener and hint about your BF's or
whoever else you seem to want everyone to know about.

Your initial question seemed to be has anyone else tried this
"throwback" Chef Boyardee stuff. If I neglected to answer, I'm saying
now: No.

Don't worry, I won't! I don't tend to buy things like canned ravioli.

Actually no. People keep posting misinformation and I keep correcting them.

There's some very innovative solutions used with RV's that he might
have added for basic plumbing. Even small 5gallon electric hot water
heaters that aren't very expensive and can handle a small tub type bath
(some run off liquid propane bottles and you just fill with water then
turn it on). I was looking at some of them for a camper friend of mine.

I think I might have at some point as it sounds familiar. All I recall

Nope. I'm not adding anything there. He can always stay in this house if he

Not like an RV. It's a building that won't move.

OK Julie. I did the side by side comparison yesterday. I usually
buy the large ravoli or the lasagna but for this comparison I
bought Beefaroni only because that was the only one in store
with both versions.

Regular version is very watery (soupy). Way much water in it.
Beef is hardly recognizable. No garlicy taste worth mentioning.
Put this on your plate and it will run over the entire plate.

Throwback version is thick, no running from the pile. You can
pile it up and it stays piled up. Lots more beef and a much
better flavor all around. It's definitely a huge improvement in
texture and taste.

IMO, this 'Throwback' version is worth every extra penny compared
to the regular stuff. If that was their original recipe years
ago, shame on them for dumbing it down just to save pennies since
then.

I do buy 3-4 cans per year and I WILL buy the Throwback from now
on.
