In my mission to use this blog for good, not evil, I am on a mission to find Betty Crocker's Hamburger Helper - Rice Oriental flavor. My dad is a huge fan of this Hamburger Helper variety, but they don't sell it in Pittsburgh anymore. Actually, they really don't sell it anywhere anymore. Whenever he goes on vacation, he visits the local grocery store, partially looking the Rice Oriental Hamburger Helper. My brother and I have helped him a little over the years. In 1997 on a cross-country road trip, we found and bought several boxes in Tulsa, Oklahoma. On my honeymoon last summer, we found some in Skagway, Alaska.
I am calling out to anyone reading this. Please let me know if there is Hamburger Helper Rice Oriental at your grocery store. I will pay for the boxes and shipping, but contact me before you buy it. This is a late birthday/early Father's Day gift.
Thank you for your support.
Update February 2008: I still receive numerous hits from people searching for Rice Oriental Hamburger Helper. If you are searching for it, I've put together a list of places where it is available (with links) here.

I found the unicorn at the above website
as if its worth paying almost $44 for 0 & im another who loves the stuff & is searching. amazon.com has it listed but its listed as "unavailable" & their other varieties come out to only $13 a case.
Honestly, I cannot stand the smell of this stuff! I grew up eating this style at least 2 times a week. I always look for this flavor in my grocery store, so my husband can taste what I was subjected to as a child. NO ONE HAS IT! So, when I finally do get my hands on it, my husband can understand why, when someone says "Hamburger Helper" and I say "I don't like it"!
