I wanted something light for dinner last night, and when I opened this can, this…stuff…slithered into my saucepan. I could tell the texture was totally off in some way, and realized the best way to describe it was that it was SLIMY, not creamy like potato soup should be.

I almost never throw food away, but that went down the sink, and the solid chunks in a can in the freezer where I keep bones and the like. Not surprisingly, it had less than 2% bacon OR cheese, and one of the \>2% ingredients was modified food starch, which explained the texture.
