Man... food topic. I know... suckage. But I had to do it.
I was hungry and so I browsed through the pantry... I found a can of chili. Sort of a generic 'save' brand. Canned chili is canned chili I figured.
I opened it up. Looks okay. I put about a third into a bowl... the rest into a container to go into the fridge. As it's cooking in the microwave, I glance at the nutrition facts.
270 calories per serving.
16 grams of fat per serving.
1000mg of salt per serving.
3.5 servings. A small ass can of chili has 1000 calories and 48 calories of fat.
Okay. I figure I'm only eating a third of it. No big deal. It finishes cooking... I take a bite and it's like...
It's like... Well the only way I can describe it, it's like I just ate a syrupy spoonful of plain ground beef flavored with water.
1000 ****ing calories for that small can and it tastes like SHIT. Ugh. I threw it into the sink and rinsed it down the drain. Terrible, terrible stuff. Now I know why you 'save' on it.
Speaking of other canned chili's... I find that I no longer like most of them. I'll eat them when I'm starving, but while I used to love canned chili like Wolf brand with no beans... now it tastes pretty terrible. But it's still about 1000 times better than that one can I had. The fact that it had a TON of salt in it didn't even mask the flavor a bit.
What the **** did they put in it to make it taste so horrible? Or rather, what didn't they put in? And it's even hard to believe they put beef in there. There's no chunks at all. It was almost completely smooth. At least wolf brand has weak chunks of beef in there.
This thing was like pureed cow ass blended into water.

In fact, I used to love Chef Boyardee when I was a kid, but I destest it nowadays. Funny how my tastes changed when I got older.:farmer:
