I think most kids like the blandness of canned pasta when they're young.
As their taste buds mature, most of them outgrow their enjoyment of it
as much and move on to better forms of pasta/sauce. Then there are those
whose taste buds never mature................

 RH> I had it a few times as a kid; it was a novelty, but not something to

Saves money that way. When we got married, I told Steve I would make
sauce the way his mom did and the way my mom did so we could decide
which we liked better. My mom's version we make with macaroni and call
it "beef-a roni"; his mom's version is what we use as pasta sauce, pizza
sauce, whatever we need a good marinara sauce for.

 go into hiding during that time. (G) Some don't make it thru the
 season, ending up as fresh meat for the hunter tho.

 RH> Nom nom.  I'd imagine it's different if the deer comes to the dog.
 RH> Around here there's no hunting at all.  Unless you're a cat of

Cats usually are hired on for their mousekeeping abilities. They're also
good company. (G)
