There's simply nothing better than blue box kraft mac. Costs a dollar, feeds two people or one person twice, nutritionally dense, and fucking delicious.

No I don't want your disgusting slimy gritty velveeta. No I don't want your "real cheese" emulsion that tastes like farts and looks like mucous. No I don't want your fucking casserole you're pretending is mac and cheese.

Bow.

>Carbs are bad
Eat shit (or velveeta, they're the same)
Carbs are fine, we've been eating them for all of recorded history. I'm sick of you fat fucks telling me carbs are bad while you suck down meat that's packed with nitrates.
Everything in moderation, chucklefuck.

I used to eat boxed Kraft a lot, but then I lost 85 pounds and my palette must have changed, it doesn’t taste right, anymore. It’s gross.

What if I like grating cheese over it so I can enjoy both at the same time? I also like adding pepper and raw onions to it.

i suppose adding a bit of grated cheese might be fine but you don't want to fuck up the perfect consistency of the sauce

Obviously untrue and you know it, but you haven't learned how to socialize appropriately so you default to arrogantly delivered absurdisms because you don't understand how to have an actual discussion, so I'll let it slide. I had some for the first time in like 20 years yesterday, the 3 cheese blend specifically, and then today the white cheddar. It wasn't a big part of my childhood at all either. It's surprisingly good. Less so for the white cheddar, though that may have been because I let it sit for a while because I mistimed my roast chicken. Both were not incredible, but a perfectly reasonable thing to eat.

I bought a block of wal-mart brand velveeta to make shells and cheese with and I was surprised at how much it just tasted like kraft boxed macaroni. Also when you eat the velveeta gelatin on its own it tastes like a kraft single. It's pretty impressive how they managed to get the same taste in a bag of cheese powder.

I'm not using the packets, the fuck am I gonna do with all those?

Also, their noodle quality is honestly dogshit. Even some cheapo brand would be better. I know the Leafs have this shit but nobody is importing it because who wants to buy 5 pounds of fucking straight macaroni? Turns out ME but nobody sells anything like it

And yes, I've checked the restaurant supply stores etc. Nothing is close to the right shape

tell me you've never eaten mac & cheese that WASN'T blue box without telling me.

In fact I'm fairly certain you've never cooked anything, and the only way you get kraft dinner is if your 'tard wrangler decides you've been a good boy.

I get a side of mac and cheese at every southern restaurant that people claim "has the best" and inevitably it's some thick gritty split garbage with random-ass bread crumbs thrown on top
Why would I waste a bunch of cheese that could go where it's supposed to go - on a cracker or on a sandwich or under the broiler - to try making a product that's inferior to the blue box?
It's not my fault you think your awful "home chef" mac and cheese is better than perfection.

it doesn't technically have to exist, but I want to replicate the standard box mac/cafeteria mac experience. Which is essentially this style of noodle. I'll probably end up settling for some type of spiral pasta, idk

Ordered mac and cheese as a side? NTA but he's probably done it a lot. That's not some strange thing. I disagree that cheapo boxed mixes are superior, but most BBQ or chicken or steakhouses or other places that offer mac and cheese as a side do serve it often with bread crumbs and large pasta like rigatoni.

It's nothing close to the box shit, and that's why it's better.

It's funny because in America, kraft mac is literally sold as a kids meal next to tendies and a jr burger. I'm pretty sure the Mexican cooks just microwave it though. ICE ftw

No, we haven't been eating completely degermed and debranned flour for "all of recorded history". Which is a meaningless qualifier since the historical record only represents the last 10% of human existence. Not sure what blog you read that on but it's obviously false.

I always add 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg (to cover up the cheap cheese powder flavor) and add a slice or muenster or gouda cheese. And I pre-melt the butter into the milk beforehand.

It's so bizarre to me that there are real adults like you out there, people who seriously believe that it doesn't get any better than fucking kraft mac and cheese.
Even as a kid I could tell that that crap was mediocre and hardly even actual food.
