  • Canned pasta is pretty nasty but I remember being broke as fuck working 3 minimum wage jobs barely able to afford rent with very little time or energy and absolutely relishing when I could get home, smoke a bowl, knock a can of beefaroni in a pot with some canned chilis in adobo and sit for 45 goddamn minutes and watch Star Trek.

    I think, per dollar, its cheaper to make from scratch, but that’s a lotta time and it’s not all that much cheaper to use a can.

    Is it the death of Italian cuisine? Eh, maybe, but Italian cuisine is mid anyway someone should teach them about these crazy things called spices.


  • No, we don’t have that kinda thing in the USA. Shame, though, sounds interesting.

    We have “farmer’s markets” which can be a place where you buy direct from farmers for far below store prices, but more often than not it’s become a way for farmers or businesses that call themselves farmers to sell “artisanal” goods for far above store prices. These aren’t regulated by any government authority and while they had been a way to get quality produce for less by cutting out middlemen, they’ve been commercialized and have become another expensive way to get food. Although you can find some very high quality meats and other rarities at some that are hard to find elsewhere.
