    As an American, I can say this is the least of our problems.

      The mindset of “this kind of works for us, don’t change it, even if what you have is better” is at the root of most issues with America. Healthcare or Kraft Dinner, American Exceptionalism is damaging.

        Excuse me but our health care doesn’t even kinda work for us. It’s a full on disaster. The duct tape (Obamacare) is helping but before that if you lost your job after you had cancer nobody would ever insure any cancer treatments for you again.

        We should’ve lost the Revolution.

        Here’s a really crazy thing that we do: have Mac & cheese made by someone other than Kraft. It actually is exceptional.

    I agree, baked Mac n Cheese reigns supreme

    Could not agree more, my friend.

  Nobody calls it Kraft Mac and cheese. It’s just Mac and cheese. I love that you can’t fathom the lack of “Kraft” at the beginning though

    Cheese sauce

    Your country is place of sin

      Pretty sure the French invented that hundreds of years ago, not the US

      So yeah I’d agree tbh

      (Cheese sauce is melted cheese, flour, and milk over heat, you’re likely thinking of canned cheese or Velveeta)

        • Roux: flour + oil/butter
        • Bechamel: milk + roux
        • Mornay sauce: cheese + bechamel

      Butter flour milk and cheddar cheese in a pan makes the most delicious cheese sauce ever. If that’s sinful then send me to hell because it’s fucking delicious

  It’s because, unlike y’all, we sometimes eat things other than mac & cheese for dinner.

  Baked? I guess you can do it that way, but generally not how it’s done in the lower 48.

        We got ground beef once. Life hasn’t peaked that high since.

  It’s the early adopter problem. We invented both things so didn’t really have room to distinguish. So it’s lazy Mac and cheese vs bar Mac and cheese vs honey did you really need to buy three cheeses and make a full ass brick roux Mac and cheese

  If the argument is which country has a better name for it, we Americans are calling it what it is, Kraft’s Mac & Cheese. It’s also served as a side dish a lot of the times, so calling it a “Dinner” implies it’s used as the main course.

  I went to Columbus a few years ago and I was surprised how every restaurant I went no matter if it was a hole in the wall or a fine dining establishment they all had a version of Mac and Cheese on their menu.

  From a simple version to versions with lobster I tried them all. Years later when I was in Montreal I noticed a similar theme where they all offer their version of Poutine.

  I couldn’t imagine if KD made Poutine it would taste anywhere near what I ate in Montreal just as regular KD was nothing like the stuff I ate in Columbus that week.
