Bonus Episode - Scooby Snacks - Lukewarm SpaghettiOs

from The Sunnydale Diaries - A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Podcast · host Sean and Melanie

In this special Scooby Snacks edition of The Sunnydale Diaries, Sean and Melanie head straight to Xander’s basement to revisit one of Buffy’s most questionable food moments: lukewarm SpaghettiOs from 'The Replacement.' We’re putting our childhood nostalgia to the test with a full-on tasting of canned pasta products, sampling SpaghettiOs, Beefaroni and, beef ravioli. Do they still hit the same? Or are some things better left in the 20th century We also discuss: Which canned pasta reigns supreme (and which one absolutely does not) Whether meatballs made with chicken AND beef should even exist How much of what we loved as kids actually holds up today And because we’re a little extra (okay, a lot extra), Sean brings a homemade version into the mix, complete with real ingredients and actual flavor, to see how it stacks up against the classics. Let’s just say not all SpaghettiOs are created equal. Grab a spork and join us for a nostalgic (and slightly horrifying) trip down memory lane. SpaghettiOs and Meatballs Recipe from Skinnytaste Decosmo's Italian Market
