MBIP Eats Chef Boyardee - This Week: Jumbo Spaghetti & Meatballs and Mini Spaghetti & Meatballs

I’m curious as to if there’s any difference in the Jumbo Spaghetti & Meatballs and the Mini Spaghetti & Meatballs, compared to the regular Spaghetti & Meatballs that we’ve already sampled back in June.

Well, we’re about to find out!

This week we sample the Jumbo Spaghetti & Meatballs and the Mini Spaghetti & Meatballs. Let’s start opening up the cans!

Here’s this week’s Chef Boyardee cans up in the MBIP Kitchen cupboard. Let’s bring them down for this week’s Chef Boyardee taste test!

I thought we’d try the Mini Spaghetti & Meatballs first. We’ll start out small and work our way up!

The bird’s-eye-view shot looks pretty much like the regular Spaghetti & Meatballs.

It’s been plopped into the pan and I’ve seasoned it up with some pepper.

EXTREME CLOSE-UP!

First Bite: This tastes just like the regular spaghetti & meatballs we sampled in June. Back then I noted that it was pretty tasteless and the meat was slimy and gross and made me think of what was in the bottom of this guy’s diaper.

It’s exactly the same, but with smaller meatballs. This doesn’t really need to exist, if you want smaller meatballs, just take the regular ones and cut them in half!

Hey Chef Boyardee, discontinue this item and save valuable grocery store shelf space!

Okay, onto the Jumbo Spaghetti & Meatballs.

EXTREME CLOSE-UP!

Hmmm, I don’t know if I’d call that meatball, “jumbo.” It looks pretty much like the ones in the regular Spaghetti and Meatballs that we’ve already had.

First Bite: The meatball isn’t much bigger than the ones we had in the original Spaghetti & Meatballs can. It’s not worthy of being called “Jumbo” at all.

And it’s also making me think about Donald Trump’s soiled diaper and I’m really getting grossed out here!

One Chef for both the Jumbo Spaghetti & Meatballs and the Mini Spaghetti & Meatballs: There’s no need for these two items to exist! They taste just like the regular Chef Boyardee Spaghetti & Meatballs and they’re making me obsess over Donald Trump’s diaper! Aaaahhh!

Hostess Dessert

I thought we’d finish this meal off with the Hostess Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cakes. Note how they don’t put a space between the words, “coffee” and “cakes.”

That bugs the shit out of me, it looks sloppy and I refuse to play along with their assault on American grammar!

14. microwabe_7-9-21.jpg

Let’s warm these up in the MBIP Microwave to bring out the maximum taste and sweetness of these coffee cakes.

15. deliciosu_7-9-21.jpg

These are light, sweet and delicious! But sadly I’m still thinking about this, I need to quit obsessing over this shit…and I mean that literally!
