My grandma's 1952 beef stroganoff called for canned soup, I paid $12 for fancy mushroom stock and it ruined the whole thing
That boxed stock made it taste too clean and modern, like the retro tangy-sour vibe just vanished, so I redid it with the 89 cent cream of mushroom can and it was perfect, has anyone else learned that sticking to the cheap stuff is actually the secret?
Took me years of fancy cooking to admit that a 89 cent can beats my $12 "upgrade" every single time (my wallet is still mad about the mushroom stock). Grandma knew what she was doing and we all just ignored her.
