I got a can of the beef stew at the food pantry to day. I have ate lots of other brands. Thsi was the best I have ever had over the years and I’m 80. Have tried lots of them.
I see some say can get at the dollor store, I’ll check it out.I really got to watch my money.

Well…
On a tight budget, and not so delicate of a palette… this stew ranks high on my standards of food. AND it is given out at most food pantries! I will not say I love this stew out of the can, but with a little help with spices, fresh veggies, and a little beer. It makes a wonderful lunch, or dinner! Bud Wiser (lol) is best! As for corned beef hash… I remember my school lunchroom serving this up on bread, and gravy…. now that looks, smells, and if you can brave it tastes like dog food!! I have not had corned beef anything since then… YUCK!

This review was a hoot. I have never laughed so hard. Thanks for telling it like it is.

I tried it. It isn’t bad. I’ve had worse when I was in the Army.

Did it liquify your intestinal contents for a few days?

It didn’t make me feel sick but with this stuff you don’t have to worry about that stuff one comercial warns you about building up in your intestinal walls like spackle or paste.

I have finally determined that it was doing that to me and probably their chili as well.

You are right on the money in you descripition but I thought it tasted like most beef stews I have tried. I actually liked their chili and beans.

Oh well I guess you get what you pay for.

Every brand of canned stew is like that…I’ve tried them all… but since I love beef stew but don’t like to take the time to make the real thing, here’s what I do… add some beef gravy from a jar, can, or mix, add some ketchup, hot sauce, butter (trust me on this one), a can of corn, frozen peas and carrots (cooked). Let it simmer for a little while and you have something more approximating people food.
Funny you should liken it to dog food….when I was a very small child, I used to have my gramma serve beef stew in a bowl on the floor and I would pretend I was a doggy eating dog food..
