This time in Japanese convenience store food, ramen butter caramel icecream, or "Ramen on Ice" as it's called:







It's not great. The icecream is nice and the ramen crumbs add a nice saltiness I guess, but they aren't crispy enough to add the same sort of textural complement that a waffle cone would. Instead they're just an unfortunate kind of chewy. I think adding a fresh pack of ramen crumbs (which you can get here) to the top of butter caramel icecream might be better but as it stands I don't think I'll get this again.

I loving loved spaghetti O's as a kid. It got to the point my parents would go to the store and pick up cat food for the cat and "Mary food" for me which was the canned spaghetti O's.

I have tried them as an adult thinking it would be nostalgic but they're pretty awful. This picture is very disturbing to me but it did remind me of those childhood memories of syrupy canned pasta mush.

I also used to eat water chestnuts straight out of the can. I was kind of a weirdo.

I'll be honest, I like the Aldi knockoff version of Spaghetti O's and Meatballs. It's great for the Sunday mornings when I'm recovering from being drunk and watching weird horror movies at 7am.

Instant mashed potatoes are good for when you come home to your empty darkened apartment, and can't be arsed to do much more than boil water. I eat it out of my mixing bowl because it has a handle.

Spaghettos are icky. Chef Boyardee ravioli though? I eat those cold out of the can every once in a while and I don't even care. It's just good to me. I once kept myself alive for two weeks eating nothing but two pallets of Chef Boyardee that fell out of the back door of a dollar general. Still eat them.

I eat instant mashed potato cups like all the time when I don't want real food. I make a bowl and cover the potatoes in cheez whiz.

I'm basically a rat.

Some people say the sauce is different but it's really the ratio of sauce to pasta and dog food filling.

No surprise that the Overstuffed ones are the worst then.

I never ate Chef Boyardee growing up. My parents wouldn't buy it. It was this mysterious, amazingly delicious food that I could never have, as forbidden as Lucky Charms.

The reality was disappointing.

No, we didn't even eat those. It was too expensive and not healthy. Have a sandwich, it's cheaper and better for you.

Same and same. Whenever my parents would make a stir fry there would always be barely any water chestnuts or baby corn left to actually go into the pan because I’d helped myself.

Bobs Red Mill makes freakishly good instant potato flakes, they've got more... body? than, say Betty Crocker or whatever. They're fantastic for when I've spent the better part of my work day cutting potatoes, so now I want potatoes, but gently caress if I'm gonna put a lick of effort into making them when I get home after cooking for nine hours.

Water chestnuts, canned baby corn, and canned black olives must all absorb a metallic flavor from the can or something. I like all three but now that I'm thinking about the flavor they all definitely do have something in common. A weird tinny flavor. And yes i know about fresh water chestnuts and actual good olives, which i much prefer. I think the reason people dislike canned black olives might be different than the reason people dislike "good" brined olives. Never had fresh baby corn so i can't comment on that one

:hfive: hell yeah tiny hot dog slices that are clearly pre-microwaved! I used to eat those all the time right out of the can as a snack when the only thing I wanted to do to get food in me was use the can opener.

I can't imagine eating those now, though. Would probably wreck the nostalgia.

You know how the directions for instant mashed potatoes suggests milk? Ain't nobody got time for heating milk. If you're going to use water instead then adding a bit of sour cream really improves the flavour and creaminess.

A secretary at work just told this story:

Her friend this week was letting her kid - three or four years old - play out in the back yard. The kid comes in, with red smeared all over her face. Mom is alarmed, because she thinks her kid is hurt, but the kid is just toddling along as kids are wont to do. Mom ask the kid if she's ok and the kid responds "yes, I've just been eating the berries off of the dog."

The kid was eating dog blood-engorged wood ticks.

Water boils in the kettle. Can't boil milk in a kettle. Using water+sour cream means you can make it in a bowl rather than a pot. And the tang of the sour cream is nice.

Oh, right, I started making it this way in college. I had an electric kettle and a mini-fridge in my room, but using a stove or microwave meant using the horrible communal kitchen. I guess not everyone makes sad college potato mush. :shrug:
