That's really odd and kind of sad.

Why is that sad?
Lean meat, four cheeses, all the other stuff
Yummy

Yeah. The crowd pleasing lasagna that I make costs closer to $8 per x-large pan.

What kind of lean meat are you using ?

That sounds terrible. You will get cancer eating bad things.

It's lasagna for crying out loud. It's a treat not health food.

Even if I make it using zucchini or eggplant it isn't that expensive. What on earth are you putting into an $80 tray of lasagna?

What in the hell?

NP. I would be frightened to eat your lasagna. It sounds about the quality level of a gas-station ready-made sandwich.

Lasagna noodles, ground beef, ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, sauce, onion and typical seasonings. It is always one of the first things to go when I bring it so it must be o.k.

For EIGHT DOLLARS?

Did you time travel from 1977?

Lol
Lol

I said closer to $8 than $80 - it is an accurate statement.

It may be a "treat" but there's a hell of a lot of difference to how your body will handle mass produced parmesan "cheeze" and how it will handle local cheese from grass fed cows, for example.

OMG . Was this at their house or someone else's???

Our grandma's house.

Oh, no. Did grandma realize what they were doing?? How embarrassing.

Yup. We ALL did. Guess they didn't realize how well sound carries in an old house.

They might me even more than $80.
The eight dollar lasagna lady obviously doesn't get out much,

Extra lean ground beef.

I use the 90+% lean ground beef, too. The lower cost per pound of the higher fat ground beef is misleading. Once you brown and drain off the fat you wind up with less meat than you do with the leaner ground beef. Regardless, how on earth is that costing you $80 to make??

I can order a tray of lasagna from an Italian caterer for less than that. Seriously.

The taste will be different too. Mass produced stuff is garbage.

Michael Pollan has talked a lot about how people expect to buy food for dirt cheap nowadays. We're putting this stuff into our bodies and we constantly consume fake food products, that have basically no nutritional value, and we balk at spending more. Contrast that to how we used to eat, where there was a reverence for food because we understood how difficult it is to grow a tomato, for example. How that takes months to do, and lots of tending and everything else.

it's kind of shocking to see people getting so up in arms about an expensive, made-from-scratch lasagna that obviously contains higher end, healthier ingredients. It literally is the $8 lasagna (and $1 cheeseburger, etc etc etc) that is fueling the obesity and health epidemic in the US today, and people remain totally clueless.

Totally agree.
Given the choice, who in their right mind would choose to eat the cheaper lasagna?
people are fooling themselves thinking it tastes just as good and is just as healthy.

No, responding to the original freakout that went on for quite a while about people saying the PP should be totally fine and happy with a Kroger pie. The freakout and clapback can go both ways. Unclench.
