I weep for the future. |
Did you know you can remove frosting from a can with a knife? |
But here's the thing - the PPs don't go out and buy this crap when they are home alone - they have it in their house already. It's what they buy for their families to use as "Parmesan." There's just no reason or excuse for that. |
I do now.

Go away. Stop thread hijacking |
You really need to find your tribe on another thread. |
Did I type this? |
| I haven't done this in years - but it occupies my thoughts more often than I'd like to admit. Goober Grape straight from the jar, making sure to get even distribution of jelly and peanut butter in each bite. I wonder if it's still sold in stores... |
I love this thread!
|
I am one of the PPs who also did pasta with Parmesan and olive oil. Only real Parm for me, that’s the joy! |

Forgot another—big spoonful of marshmallow fluff doubled dipped into the PB.
Here’s my take on the Parmesan controversy—if you prefer the green can stuff, that’s cool. But if you prefer the stuff from a block, it’s just as easy—those blocks stay good forever in the fridge and it takes less time to powder grate it with a boxed grater than it does the shake the Kraft stuff out of the can (where it always clumps despite the anti cake chemical). We grew up with the green can in the 70s and I think switching to the solid block was probably one of the life changing food moments of my life. I put it on everything. PS for those who like the buttered pasta, try getting your hands on some pastina—the butter to pasta ratio is greatly increased and it’s next level carb/fat combo. This thread is making me want some of that onion dip with the ruffles ridged chips. |
It’s hysterical you think the blocks of cheese you’re buying are from Parma Italy. SMFH |
| NP here and I love real Parmesan cheese but green can parmesan is still my nostalgia-laden choice for eating alone with pasta and butter or on leftover pasta. My family mocks me mercilessly for this because they will only eat the "real" stuff. I eat both so PP is wrong when she says that you can't be a closet green can lover and also have and enjoy the real stuff when cooking for real. |
Gross! I make my dip from scratch and would never touch store-bought potato chips. See how that works, pp? |
I’ve seen something like it. I wouldn’t dare keep it in the house because DH would eat it all himself! |
