What is amazing is how little the cost of this concoction has increased in the
twenty-seven years since this was posted. While things like house prices,
college tuition have gone crazy, canned tuna and canned mushroom prices
have hardly budged, and off brand boxed mac&cheese is still 50 cents or less.

This is great news for those of you who eat nasty casseroles like tuna-noodle,
as noodle prices have also risen only slightly, though that jarred "mayo" crap
you slop in has risen far more.

I don't eat tuna-noodle casserole, but I was happy to discover that the store-brand
mayo is just as good as Hellman's and half the price.

Some folks say that Treet "is just as good as" Spam, and it's a lot cheaper.

Bad analogy. I don't like Spam.

You'd have done better with margarine and butter.

i used to eat a cheaper version using ramen noodles,
tuna, mixed frozen veggies (added at the end to cool it
off quickly so it could be scarfed down fast) and hot
sauce. i never added the seasoning packet as i didn't
much like the strange flavorings in them.

have not usually been much on eating canned mushrooms
either other than those little bits in canned cream of
mushroom soup.

the fun thing about some ramen noodles was that they
could also be eaten as a crunchy snack plain if i wanted
something like that and didn't have any raw carrots or
some other better food on hand. i haven't eaten ramen
noodles cooked or plain in many years now as i finally
got sick of eating them.

i switched to eating sardines (which i like much
better than canned bits of tuna) or herring steaks and
mustard sauce or hot sauce and the dollar store was
stocking them five for a dollar and stuffed grape
leaves in the can for a quarter. i also started doing
more cooking of various cuisines and liked those too
so haven't looked back since. the better trend in
recent years is eating more fresh grown things from
the gardens here. not much fancy cooking going on
but i like the low impact aspects of it and the chance
to do meaningful exercise, working with nature and
just being outside more often when the weather is nice
enough.

I like Hormel's chili better. I guess you're supposed to put grated Monterey Jack and diced jalapeño peppers. Yet, slow grilling burgers over Mesquite & charcoal and then dicing the meat itself would end-up making better chili, I'd say.

No, because butter is lovely, and margarine is repulsive.

You don't like Spam, but you do like Hellman's brand jarred jism.

Hormel is the worst brand of canned chili I've ever tasted.

They do, it is one of the most popular foods there. It was introduced by US troops 70 years ago, and now it is a national cultural fetish. Spam is even gussied up and given as an expensive gift for holidays, etc...lots on Goog about it...

In FACT I myself am going to put a Spam sammich on my menu for tomorrow's lunch - on nice white bread with American cheeze and Hellman's and some iceberg lettuce...

As for Treet, it DOES really suck...

How do you know? Have you shopped at my grocery store and tried the
store-brand mayo?

Of course he hasn't. He's pontificating. I use so little mayo I
definitely cannot be bothered to whip eggs with oil to make it from
scratch. A small jar of whatever brand lasts for at least a year in my
fridge.

I don't make tuna noodle casserole so no "great news" in terms of the
price of egg noodles, either.

Soybean oil, water, whole eggs and egg yolks, vinegar, salt, sugar, lemon juice, calcium disodium edta (used to protect quality), natural flavors.

I'm hoping the "natural flavors" are ground-up bug parts or rat turds or similar.

It's very popular in Guam, the Philippines, South Korea, and other places. I guess the important part is how it's doing in the United States. If Spam musubi gets popular with the kids on the mainland, Spam could explode. Now if the Chinese could get a taste for Spam, it's game over, man!
My wife used to help her mom pack cans of Spam as gifts for relatives in Korea. This, is completely normal behavior in Korea. It's considered worthy of gift giving over there.

Canned meats are a thing in Samoa but mostly, they have a thing for canned corned beef and canned albacore - they call it "wahoo."

I don't consider Bryan to be any sort of an expert on what people should
eat. This is the guy who rides a pink scooter who just bought a little
wooden sided wagon. Maybe next he'll set up a lemonade stand in front
of his house.

Hormel chili is what it is. Quick, easy. Armour chili is about the
same. No one is forcing anyone to buy or eat it.

I think Bryan's right:
"Water, Beef, Cereal (Oatmeal, Yellow Corn Flour), Chili Powder (Chili
Peppers Flavoring), Textured Vegetable Protein (Soy Flour Caramel
Color), Tomatoes (Water, Tomato Paste), Sugar, Salt, Hydrolyzed Corn,
Soy, and Wheat Protein, Modified Food Starch, Flavoring, Autolyzed
Yeast, Monosodium Glutamate, Spice"

Armour chili's even worse:
"Water, pork, beef, seasoning blend (chili pepper, paprika, [color],
spices, onion powder, sugar, garlic powder, dextrose, maltodextrin,
yeast extract, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate, lactic acid,
calcium lactate, natural flavors, fermented wheat protein, salt), corn
starch, textured vegetable protein (soy flour, caramel color).
Contains 2% or less of: salt, rolled oats, wheat flour, caramel color,
soy lecithin."

Imagine, you're eating your chili and suddenly it starts lactating!

Sauerkraut contains lactic acid. Imagine!

Lol, you could be lucky. It's probably no worse than brand name mayo,
though.

Thanks.

However, at the end of the alimentary canal, it produces the
wonderful odor you crave.

I rode a little pink scooter for a few months. I bought it at about 75% off,
rode it around town, which was awfully fun, then sold it at a profit. The
little wooden sided wagon isn't little. It's for gardening, and has a 330 lb.
capacity. You aren't very good at noticing details. That's called sloppy.

I am in the same boat. I have made mayo a couple times when I had run
out of store bought. It always turned out nicely and was superior to
home made, but I ended up throwing most of it out because we just don't
use much mayo.

Let me get this straight. When you make mayo yourself, it always turns
out better than home made mayo. Are you saying you always make it at
someone else's place?

It has been close to 50 years since I have had a chili dog. I lost my
taste for them after coming down with a horrible case of food poisoning
after eating one in the restaurant of the store where I worked part
time. I know what it is like to puke for 5 hours, and that is something
that I never want to go through again. I don't think I would wish it on
my worst enemy.

My guess is that it's a safe bet that you won't be meeting up with another tainted chili dog in your lifetime. That should be good news.
I'm having an old Hawaiian style lunch today: Frito Pie. It's delicious! Unfortunately, I made the classic rookie mistake of not breaking up the chips before adding the canned chili. Don't let anyone tell you that a Frito Pie is duck soup to make.

Thanks. I have to admit that it actually tasted pretty good when I ate
it. It wasn't until about 4 hours later that I started to feel sick. I
left work a little early, drove directly home, ran down the hall to the
bathroom and almost didn't make it to the toilet and then spent the next
5 hours in regurgitation hell. That's an experience you don't easily
forget.

You're right. Chances are pretty good that I ill never again come across
another tainted chili dog. Chances are even better if I never even eat
one If you ever end up puking and retching for 5 hours straight you
will understand why I have no interest in eating another one.

I have had canned chili. I bought it once and I learned from my
experience. Besides, I am on a low sodium diet these days so prepared
foods are out, especially canned.

The Chilli Man canned chili is decent, though unsuitable for anyone on a
low sodium diet.
