Rigatoni with corporate meatballs, homemade sauce from crushed tomatoes, smoked mozzarella.
Ground beef is too expensive to even think about making meatballs. So corporate is going to have to work for now.
Cost per person $2.75.
What are “corporate meatballs”?
This is covered extensively in another comment on this post.

There aren’t 500 comments to scroll through. I cooked the food, I had the conversation, it was covered in depth right here in this post. I am under no obligation by any stretch of netiquette to link to a thread within the same post. This isn’t the days of Usenet where post IDs were handy because a post might not propagate to all the servers. You have all the context you need to find the replies without me going through the even minimal labor of finding the link and handing it to you. Let’s not encourage entitlement behavior here.
Corporate meatballs? 🙃

I did not know when I chose that phrasing that it was an established norm. But at least it shows that it was understandable term.
Google’s AI will often pretend to have heard of a phrase even if it hasn’t. Usually it can infer pretty well but sometimes it will just be flat out wrong. In this case it nailed it.
Or when you hear people saying ai hallucinates, this is what they are talking about…
All its doing is trying to come up with the best answer it can… corporate meatballs isn’t a thing… it’s just what they called meatballs they got in a store instead of buying meat and making them
Except I use the term and meant exactly what it said. So it is a thing?
Other than the ai thing I didn’t really see anything about other people using it… its clearly understandable though. It’s just most people would probably say processed or precooked…
I don’t know if anyone else is actually using it. It might be a full-on hallucination. But when? I chose those words the summary the AI gave is completely accurate to what I meant. This might be a case of right for the wrong reason.
