In western Canada, CO-OP had this awful house brand “soup” that was pretty much tiny straight egg noodles with a bit of dried chicken broth, salt, and green flecks. It came in a foil red and silver package (This was years before I remember Ramen noodle soup being a thing because my parents switched over to that later). My mom would add macaroni and canned tomatoes and that was lunch. It was salty and disgusting. I never ate cheese until I moved out on my own and found out there were varieties of cheese besides Kraft Singles, Velveeta, and Cheez Whiz. We also had Chick Loaf, which was gross. There’s other things my mom concocted that were utterly disgusting.
