It’s Friday and that means it’s time to sample two more cans of Chef Boyardee.
Let’s open the MBIP World Headquarters Kitchen Cupboard and see what we’ll be eating this week.
Here’s the cans of the week: Mini ABC’s & 123’s and Cheesy Burger Macaroni.
Okay, let’s open up the first can!
First up is the Cheesy Burger Macaroni.
Yikes, they look like little intestines!
They’re warming up in the pan and I’ll add a little pepper to the tiny intestine stew.
EXTREME CLOSE-UP!
First Bite: Pretty bland. It’s not horrible, but it’s mainly the little intestines pasta and a watery tomato sauce. It’s billed as “Cheesy Burger Macaroni” yet it’s pretty-well void of both cheese and burger.
Okay, on to the next can.
This is the Mini ABC’s & 123’s. That’s kind of a cumbersome title.
They could’ve just gone with either Mini ABC’s or Mini 123’s, using both is a bit of overkill, but let’s just keep moving along here.
They’re plopped into the pan and peppered up.
EXTREME CLOSE-UP!
(Note: I see only letters and no numerals. And look at the bottom left, is that an “S,” a “O” and an “X?” I thought this was “ABC’s?” What the fuck is going on here? It’s kind of like the Wheel Of Misfortune! Vanna, I’d like to buy an explanation please! Okay, let’s just keep moving along.)
First Bite: This wasn’t that bad. The tiny meatballs are kind of tasty and not slimy like some of the previous Chef Boyardee meat items. I’ll probably never eat it again, but it wasn’t horrible.
Once again, the food in the can, doesn’t really live up to the label’s image.
Now on to the ratings.

MBIP RATINGS (ONE TO FOUR CHEFS)
Cheesy Burger Macaroni: One and a half Chefs.
If the first two words of the name of the dish are “Cheesy” and “Burger” they ought to be present in the dish and they weren’t. It was just little intestines pasta in a runny tomato sauce.
Mini ABC’s & 123’s: Two and a half Chefs.
This wasn’t that bad, but as I mentioned before, the title is a little bit too much and I didn’t see any numerals and there were consonants and vowels that didn’t belong there. That was kind of disturbing to me.

HOSTESS DESSERT
For this week’s Hostess dessert, I chose the Jumbo Donettes.
First off, I don’t like the way they use upper case letters for the word, “Jumbo” and lower case for “Donettes.” It looks awkward and it’s a bad design.
Also, what the fuck is a “Donette?” These are fucking donuts, not “donettes.” What the fuck is even happening here? Sheesh!
I put them on a plate and warmed them up in the microwave oven.
I hate to keep bitching, but these aren’t “Jumbo” sized at all. They’re the size of a fucking normal donut.
And yes, these are donuts, not “donettes.” Fuck! Death come free me from this shit now. Aaaahhh!
