Well here we go with our weekly sampling of the canned goods from Chef Boyardee. Yeah, I wish I had something better to do with my time too, but what are you going to do?
Let’s go try this week’s Chef Boyardee offerings!
This week we’re going to sample two classic Chef Boyardee entrees, the Lasagna and Spaghetti and Meatballs. These are both part of their original line-up and I remember eating these as a kid.
There’s the two canned entrees up on the shelf. Time to open them up and try out this week’s Chef Boyardee’s offerings!

Lasagna
The first can we’re going to try is the Lasagna entree.
The birds-eye-view reveals a glimpse of pasta in what appears to be a somewhat watery tomato based sauce.
Plop into the pan it goes and we’ll season it with some fine black pepper, just like I did as a kid.
EXTREME CLOSE-UP!
First Bite: I had to end up using a plastic spoon to eat this because it kept sliding off of the fork. It was okay, but a little bland. There was a little bit of a savory taste to this so it wasn’t horrible, just something I’ll probably never eat again.
Okay, on to the next entree.

Spaghetti & Meatballs
Next up we’re going to try the Spaghetti & Meatballs.
The birds-eye-view of the can reveals the spaghetti, but where oh where are the meatballs?
Once I plopped the entree onto the pan the meatballs are revealed and there’s six of them.
I seasoned it with pepper and now we’ll warm this Chef Boyardee entree up.
EXTREME CLOSE-UP!
First Bite: This was kind of tasteless but the meatballs were pretty gross and slimy.
They really didn’t have much taste but the consistency was kind of like what you’d find in the bottom of Donald Trump’s diaper.

Lasagna: Two Chefs. There was a little bit of taste to this and it wasn’t absolutely horrible, so there’s that. Whatever that means.
Spaghetti & Meatballs: One Chef. Anything that makes me think of Donald Trump’s diaper makes me want to hurl.

Hostess Dessert
I thought we’d sample the Hostess Ho Hos for dessert.
One thing that bothered me about this package was the claim that now they’re, “Even Better Tasting.”
So what, the Ho Hos you were packaging before tasted like shit and only now you’ve decided to make them taste acceptable?
What kind of bullshit is this?
These were okay, but it still bothers me that they admit that they were selling an inferior product up till now. Sheesh!
