anyone else here like lawrys spaghetti? ive never met anyone IRL who eats this and it's my favorite spaghetti sauce, yet judging from my analysis at the super market there must be at least one other person buying the sauce packets
>>22095185I'd like to try that. Seems quaint. Is it something you mix with canned tomato products or is it a mix with water type thing?I knew an old man who had those in his kitchen drawers and I never looked closer at it. Seems like ranch or Italian salad dressing packets: something that's more of a project to make something widely available in a jar.
>>22095191you mix it with tomato paste, 1tbsp olive oil and water. Also I always do it with a 1lb of cooked ground beef but I think you can make it meatless too. IMO it blows jarred pasta sauce out of the water but i've been eating this since I was a child so I don't know if it's one of those things that I just think is good because of familiarity and nostalgia
>>22095206I think my mom made spaghetti sauce with a Lawry’s packet when I was a kid, and I recall enjoying it. They’d be kept in a big jar with various other spice packets (next to the kool aid packet jar)
>>22095185This is a guilty pleasure of mine, its how grandma made it in the 90s.Aldi doesn't sell this, but does sell really good jar sauce for like 2.50. I think Cub was like two dollars for the packet, Walmart is 1.62, so adding tomato paste and oil there the packet sauce is within 50c of good jar sauce, so I havent made it in a while.
>>22095206If I had to guess, there's probably one particular ingredient, like garlic salt, and that's what you're addicted to.

>>22095185I do grocery delivery sometimes and I've had people order it but it's very rare. I'd put it exclusively into the "obvious old person order" category, along with the Kraft spaghetti, canned potatoes, ginger ale, frozen salisbury steaks dinners or chipped beef dinners, pudding is 50/50 old person or kids, etc. I try to put together what the person might be making with the food, or what kind of person/family I'm delivering to and I've gotten pretty decent at it. Both the pic you posted and mine are both items I never would've know existed otherwise, you don't realize how much shit you just walk by at the grocery store.
>>22095715I've never even seen that>>22095185I think I've seen this but idk who buys it. Surprisingly? There was a tomato/basil instant ramen I used to buy at Duane Reade back in the day that was actually pretty good. And I'm from Southern Italy. Because that stuff was actually serviceable, I don't doubt this stuff could be, too.
garlic powder, onion powder, MSG, citric acid, sugar, some parmesan cheese-like bacterial thing, random green herbs probably oregano.
>>22095730I said the exact same thing when I saw them on grocery orders, I'm like there's no way they have that, I've never seen it...go to where it says it is and there it is. Now that I've noticed it once I see it every store I go to. There's probably two dozen items I've said that about. It's like when I go to the clearance section at my local grocery store, it confuses the fuck out of me because I'm like where did this come from??? i've never seen it here while shopping???
your a spaghett
>>22095953>It's like when I go to the clearance section at my local grocery store, it confuses the fuck out of me because I'm like where did this come from?I'm more confused about "how did this wind up here, it's a popular product?"The weirdo shit I've never seen before I can understand. It's always something, like "yeah, orange creamcicle Capn Crunch; nobody asked for this", "yeah, no one would buy super ultra mega sized toilet paper rolls that would only fit into commercial holders and not in anyone's home bathroom" or "it's Mother's Day; Easter stuff should've been gone by now". But when I find perfectly good, undamaged OGX shampoo marked down to just $3 a bottle with a $3 off coupon stuck on it, I just wonder "how are people so retarded that they're leaving a free product on the shelf?"We have so much OGX in the house.
>>22095185fyi that packet is 25% sugar by weight
>>22095982So is the average person who buys it
Apparently "black spaghetti" is a thingI dont know what that entails exactly
>>22095185I’m gonna buy this and make some tonight.
Challenge accepted.But I’ll be making it in my cooking thread.
>>22096236>>22096058Well…where's the thread?
>>22095206>tomato paste, 1tbsp olive oil and water.this might actually not be bad
>>22096054ketchup, oregano, tons of salt and pepper and noddles
it seems like a holdover from when it was harder to get basic variety in every category of food and spice but if you really like a particular spice blend then it isn't necessarily a given you'll be able to replicate it with core spices.
>>22096268It's coming. Tonight.
Bump
I've done it. Not bad.>>22098783
>>22096425noddles?
