Look near the bottled/jarred spices. I commonly see McCormicks
and French's in 1.25 oz packets. Or you can bundle your own.
I saw it a few times years ago, but we probably have too many
real Italians around for that sort of thing to sell well enough
to stay on the shelf.

It's only about 30% here, depending on the town.
(the McCormick) because I've had occasion to shop there. They also
do a good business in Prego, Bertolli, Newman's Own, even Emeril's.
Also local/regional names like Lonzerotti's and Onofrio's (my
favourite).
The local guys make the good stuff. One called Frank's, bottled
locally, came in mason jars up until a year or two ago. That's how
you knew it was the real deal.
Darned few people do - or have time to do - scratch cooking of red
gravy these days. But there are ways to make it taste "home-made"
(a VERY elastic term).
Not much helps some of them, but even the junk can taste OK if messed
with a bit.

Is your 30% real Italians or Americans of Italian ancestry? I think
Riverton may have six or seven born in Italy Italians. The rest
claim Italian forebears.

Or so they wanted you to think. Sometimes that "rustic" look is
guy who has the Onofrio's made to his recipes. And I've eaten inhis
restaurant. I don't have a personal relationship with theLonzerotti
family - but, I've eaten in their restaurant in a converted railway
station.

I can even make Hunt's 'spaghetti' sauce taste acceptable. It's not
all difficult.
