It's Rice---A----Roni

by Anonymousreply 3May 2, 2016 11:22 PM

In 1958, Vince invented Rice-A-Roni by adding a dry chicken soup mix to[bold] rice and macaroni.[/bold] It was introduced in 1958 in the Northwestern United States and went nationwide four years later. Because of its origins, it was called "The San Francisco Treat!".[2]

Try again, Nancy Drew/R27/OP. I've only posted on your thread once (except for this post, obviously); it would appear that there are plenty of others who find the malingering odor of your stankfish twat offensive. "Humour," eh? So, not only are you an unoriginal, unfunny cunt desperate for the approval of others, you also have terrible tea-stained teeth that have been spared the inconvenience of modern dentistry.

I don't think I had ever bought Rice-A-Roni before but when they had it on sale the other day I picked a several boxes, actually I was figuring I would put them into the Post Office Food Drive. I decided to fix a box for myself added some chicken, some frozen peas and carrots, chicken broth and some bean sprouts and man did it taste good. So good I fixed another batch a couple of days later, and now I have bought the ingredients again and will probably make it again this weekend.

That recipe for pork chops with Rice-a-Roni will be very salty just from the sodium contents of all the ingredients. And soy sauce added, too. Sure sounds good, however. When doing a search for the recipe, a link for a chicken version came up. It is made a bit differently.

My mom sometimes bought Rice A Roni, Chung King Chow Mein in a two can set, or Hamburger Helper.

Rice A Roni had a "Spanish" flavor that was sort of tomato based, without any spicy heat and another flavor that came with a small packet of slivered almonds to add at the end and that was my favorite; the crunchy nuts added a little pizzaz. I think this one might have been labeled "Oriental". Flavors are down to 2 or 3 in my local stores, wouldn't try em now.

The Rice A Roni jingle was on TV for so many years there are several generations who will never forget it.

R95--you made me snort! Acid IS groovy! KILL the PIGS, INDEED!
