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?

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.

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

Oh, good grief. It is fatty CHEESE. I don't care if you suckled the danged cow yourself. It's a COW.

Yes. And the "cheeze" you're using is mainly cardboard shavings. Enjoy

Lasagna, by definition, is good and inexpensive and heavy. That is why you can feed lots of people on one tray of lasagna.

Baked spaghetti falls into that same category, as does pretty much every pasta dish.

Yes, that is incredibly off the charts rude.

A store bought pie is not that big a deal. I still can't get over someone paying $80 to make a tray of lasagna. Crazy. I'll bet Grandma knows better than that, too.

Browse these for an example of how a lasagna can be expensive.
They might me even more than $80.
The eight dollar lasagna lady obviously doesn't get out much,

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.

I sure as hell wouldn't. Then again, I value my health. I'm not into eating 7-11 hotdogs either, I suppose that makes me a "snob" as well

I would think my guests would appreciate a quality lasagna. I don't spend $80 on lasagna every week.
When my guests come over, I go that extra mile.

I would die before eating $8 lasagna.

Grandma always cooks from scratch no way in hell she'd spend $80 on a pan of lasagna.

Well, that would be defeating your goal of being "healthy" now wouldn't it?

Grandma has no taste buds.
Grandma's lasagna isn't nearly as good as good as mine.

Yes we all knew and we all heard dear cousin.

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.

That is really awful. Poor Grandma!

She just served up more pie.
