Do you have alfredo in a can? Well, let him out!
So, hourglasscreate makes a post to the cooking community which includes a recipe for "Easy Fettucine Alfredo" which she supposedly got off of a Campbell's Soup can. This does not go over well.

ETA: Aaaand the second link has gone bye-bye. Now how will I find a recipe for boiled water? ;_;

ANOTHER ETA: She's wanking it up again in a whole new post! This time, it's about "sloppy joes".

I'll say there's definitely a taste difference between the local-made farmer's market mozzarella that I love and the supermarket stuff... but not enough to make massive food wank over.

Especially when the local stuff is too pricey to use as more than a sometimes treat... I'd rather not pay ten dollars for just the cheese for a pizza when I could probably make an entire pizza for about that using regular store ingredients.

Oh, I won't say there's not a taste difference (and a texture difference. I tried making alfredo with Ye Olde Green Bottle parm and it turned out awful), and I do loves me some farmer's market (stimulating local economy ho!) but yeah...price difference like woah. And I'm not going to turn my nose up at a tasty delicious pizza that happens to use canned sauce and bagged cheese.

	I...don't get a lot of comments I am seeing here. Honestly not trying to start drama, but...I don't know. It can be healthy AND good AND under fifty dollars, honest. It doesn't have to be from a big corporation, does it? I don't know, maybe I don't understand, but I exist on an SSI check and foodstamps and manage to avoid Kraft. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm on food stamps too, and I avoid Kraft because I can't afford it. Store brands own my soul! (Reply to this)(Parent)
