I think the best example was the Minute Rice. I spent -years- thinking rice was just... gross. Because she'd make minute rice for stuff and it always hit the plate looking like tiny maggots. She hated cooking SO MUCH she couldn't even follow the directions on the easiest rice I've ever set up, so it was overcooked and all exploded. Otherwise: lots of canned or limp frozen stuff. It was just... unpleasant.
I see them in the store, as well as jarred ones. I guess they're good if you need something that will just... live for ages in the cabinet but?? Sort of in the vein of canned asparagus.
