Regarding Rice-Aroni . . . . .

. . . . it is, after all, "the San Francisco Treat." That would be liberal, Nancy Pelosi, Socialist San Francisco.

I wonder if right wingers ever buy it?

I give this an hour . . . . . .

I don't know who would buy it but four pack a day smokers who have completely destroyed their sense of taste and only pick up on salt.

Probably why I think it tastes really good. I rarely eat the stuff. It's pretty easy to make a healthy version with better than boullion, a little onion and some brown rice. You can add the noodles or not.... Just toast the rice and finish it with stock.

Macaroni is great..by itself. Hell, I even crunch DRY macaroni as a snack. But, Rice-A-Roni is one of the worst boxes of crap ever. Bought some one time. Tried one box, gave the rest away.

Near East pilaf is decent (although a bit high in sodium for my liking.) Making it from scratch is easy and even better.

Now Rice-a-roni, that one is pretty vile.

Especially if you've been sodium-free, preservative-free, and in general, prepared-food free for any length of time.

It was served at a gathering and I didn't even know what it was. A mere half-cup serving nearly laid me up for the night.

in over 35 years here I've never known anyone to make anything remotely resembling Rice-a-roni. Is it still even manufactured?
