My chef boy Boyardee has it, though it’s tough to find locally.

I have two cans of that stuff I bought on clearance for 99 cents probably a year or two ago in my pantry. I haven’t had the courage to try it yet.

I got some Chef Boyardee ravioli from a friend that was moving. I loved that stuff when I was a kid. I tried one, one night. It would keep you from starving to death, is how I feel about it now.

I mentioned peanut butter on bread, but on saltines it’s Hors d’Oeuvres. Saltine/peanut butter and a blob of chili with grated cheese.

Mexican cornbread (add creamed corn, cheddar cheese and peppers to cornbread mix) or Fritos (corn chips)

If I have this, I don’t _NEED_ chili!

Well, until the post-carb-crash and heartburn stage, but somethings are worth it.

Club crackers are my choice with chili. Stable enough to be used as a spoon but much more flavorful than a saltine.

I just crumble the saltines into the chili.
