Rob Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I guess that would make me a dumber-ass. Not really. Everything has a beginning. An Italian immigrant cook named Boiardi started selling canned pasta dishes in the 1920's here in America. The name was changed to Chef Boyardee as it sounded less immigrant for the american market. It's all history from there and millions of people have grown up on the products marketed under this name. I'm thinking ConAgra now owns the brand rights as it's been sold several times through the years.

Much of the meat was produced in E. St. Louis IL at both the Armor, and Hormel plants then located there. My grandma worked at both plants as a butcher/packer at that time for the war effort.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Grew up on Spam and probably was one of the few who liked it in the service and it was probably WWII issue too.
