Year 1806 - Canned goods were initially created by and for the French Navy by Nicholas Appert in the year 1806 to prevent microorganisms from proliferating within the Foodstuffs themselves and began its popular rise in the United States in 1812. Demand became high during World War l amongst the American Military due to trench conditions and the ability to preserve longevity of Freshness.
Year 1886 - The Franco-American Food Company was founded in the U.S. by Alphonse Biardot, a French Immigrant whom along with his two sons opened a commercial kitchen in New Jersey of which the "Brand Name" Subsequently was bought/acquired by the Campbell's (Soup) Company in 1915. Franco American canned products that are well known by name are "Spaghetti-O's" and "Ravioli-O's".
Uh-Oh Spaghetti-O's
Year 1924 - Chef Boyardee was founded by Italian Immigrant Ettore "Hector" Boiardi in 1928 who named his product "Boy-Ar-Dee" so everyone would pronounce his surname properly. Originally causing a buzz from his Restaurant "Il Giardino d'Italia Restaurant" in Cleveland, Ohio. just 4 years later he opened a factory and was commissioned by the U.S. Military during World War ll to produce Army rations of his recipe. His company was sold to American Home Products then International Home Foods and at present (2013) ConAgra Foods. And Yes that is Boiardi's likeness on the can.
Can (band) - CAN was a German rock band formed in Cologne, Germany in 1968. They are amongst the forefathers of Krautrock (a term British journalists invented during the rise in popularity amongst German bands of the experimental ilk). Many Post-Punk, Avant Garde and Electronica artists are heavily influenced by their work and to this day they are considered an architect for what has transpired.
Following are reviews of current American Canned Pasta product. What are you kidding me ?, I am not going to start buying Imported Canned Pasta Product.
11/3/13 - JUMBO Spaghetti & Meatballs - Too Much Sauce, It's the typical Chef Boyarde Sauce here, Nothing Fancy, also the Meatballs do not seem so JUMBO, will speak on this again after sampling the (regular) Spaghetti & Meatballs. Carol and I had a conversation yesterday and both agree that the "JUMBO" Recipe is also a "Soupy" Recipe featuring Soup (Sauce) and lacking in Pasta & Balls. Ate the Meatballs and flushed the Pasta tonight. ick.
Of note - There is a jagged edge in the Can opening but lets not blame the Can, Let's blame the Can-Opener.
4/22/14 - Beef Ravioli - OK, So J told me that the JUMBO Ravioli had a sweeter Sauce, I will find out now since I purposefully purchased the Regular Ravioli.
Nope, I think they have sweetened the Sauce or our Taste Buds have changed. This is still whatever goodness you can expect from a can of Chef Boyardee.
I surfaced a canned Rav for the camera and here it is.
7/30/14 - Lasagna - OK I know I don't like this one nearly so much as the Spaghetti and Meat Balls or Raviolis but for Blog's sake I purchased a Can tonight. They were on sale 10/$10.
Actually Rather Tasty yet they Do ALL Taste kind of the same don't they.
Lots of Noodles, As expected the "Beef" was negligible, Why even mention it on the packaging.
Lasagna really means the Noodle shape, Beefaroni on the Other Hand, why put "BEEF" in the title, more on that later, The Lasagna is Very Nice.
The Noodles really clung onto the Sauce very nicely as well.
1/6/15 - So much time has passed that I bought another Can of Lasagna for the Blog, OK theres a waste of a buck.
Spaghetti-Os with Meatballs - Well first off unlike Chef Boyardee this can has no pop top but looks like a decent amount of Meatballs even though they are smaller than Boyardee's recipe.
Almost identical, the Sauce might be slightly Saltier but only slightly, still don't know if I could get through an entire can of Spaghetti-Os without Meatballs though.
