Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli

Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli - Closeup

Looks: Once you've shaken them out of the can and swirled them around a bit, the ravioli do have the same basic shape as depicted on the wrapper, and the sauce is almost the right color. However, the meat inside is not a healthy brown, but rather a sickly gray. (The pasta too is miscolored - more a pasty white than a golden yellow.) Additionally, the sauce doesn't coat the ravioli like it's supposed to, and the pasta pieces are more like flared-out boxes of meat than fluffy little beef pillows. 2.5 out of 5

Taste: There isn't much. The sauce is really the only thing with a flavor, so it's a good thing it's decent for having come out of a can that may have been on the shelf for years. The "pasta" is so soft that you can chew the whole meal with just your tongue and the roof of your mouth, so add another point to the score if you're suffering from lockjaw. 1 out of 5
