It's a box full of pasta and seasonings that you add with water to a pound of browned hamburger for an easy meal. Various flavors. Do you have hamburger in Oz? Maybe by a different name?

It's a horrendous mixture of garbage that turns meat into something inedible.

Don't have to. I work the meat counter and we get markdown stuff that's soon to date. Still good meat, but hardly ever get any hamburger that way. I prefer ground chuck, which runs about $5 a pound here. So, I rarely buy hamburger. When I do, I get meatloaf, not some box of trash that leaves me wondering if the box would taste better...

Oh stop. Add some peppers onions and mushrooms, maybe a blast of tabasco... I lived on that shit for years. My kids were raised on Hamburger Helper and Kraft Mac n Cheeze. lol And they both went to college too. (Feeding 'em that shit was how I could afford to send 'em.)

Ah, that's right, you work at Walmart. The meat counter, huh? Must be nice to get first pickings.
We got a guy at our local walmart who works the deli counter. He's got a scraggly looking Santa Claus beard going and never wears a net over it. I won't get deli's when he's there.

Yeah, I know. It's just that I picture Armistice cooking gourmet meals every night for him and his GF. Expensive bottle of wine, surrounded by original aboriginal art then going for a drive in his german-built convertible afterwards. He could never relate to Hamburger Helper.
He probably hand picks his scallions at the street market.

What's a scallion?
Hardly Chili... (a) my GF doesn't live with me (b) I'm lazy (c) I'm trying to lose weight.
Tonight it's a (ie. one) grilled sausage from the supermarket and microwaved vegetables...
I do happen to live just up the road from the best wine shop in Sydney and I do go there and buy a couple of dozen reds every few months and load them into my German convertible though... and I do have original aboriginal art, at an average cost of about $200 a frame... cheaper than a decent print!
What you guys call hamburger, we call mince. I use it in chilli con carne, if I buy it at all..
