That’s a soft take…

*clears throat*

macaroni and cheese utterly disgusting, nothing about it is appetising, the consistency of it is remarkably similar to the consistency of sewage, it smells like concentrated foot sweat and I dont know how it takes an amazing tasting product like cheese and turns it into the this horrifically vile tasting slop, but that right there is proof of Satan’s existence.

I have ALWAYS hated mac and cheese. Anyone I’ve ever told this to is like “hOw CaN yOu NoT lIkE MaC aNd ChEeSe!!?? It’S aMaZiNg!!” I’m sure my dog thinks dogfood is amazing. But you don’t see me eating it.

It’s alright. Sometimes. I have a personal mission to try many versions of various things, and Mac & cheese is one of those dishes where everybody has their own special way of doing it. Even if it’s just a box of Kraft, nearly everyone has their own way of preparing it.

Nearly every homemade Mac n cheese I’ve had is edible but not enjoyable.

Not the Mac n cheese for the last like 20+ years. It used to use real cheese and really did taste better. I know the internet got all uppity against kraft a while back, claiming they started making the noodle portion worse somewhere around 2016 or something, but that’s nothing compared to the big taste difference that happened when they stopped using real cheese.

Look, some people just can’t digest it. As you get older, your ability to process mac’n’cheese without dire intestinal consequences drops off substantially. The pros just simply aren’t worth the cons, not by a long shot.

There is a place nearby where you can buy 5 boxes of Kraft Mac & Cheese for $5. Used to be a box for $.50-75.

When your next stubbed toe could require you to sell an organ, cheap Kraft seems perfect.

Maccaroni and cheese were really meant to be Käsespätzle but for some reason didn’t.

It’s like Oreos. I think it’s things that are cultural. You probably can’t get into it once your taste has already been shaped. But if you grew up with it, it’s different. We probably all have such things at home. Although typically not from the horrifying US big food conglomerates, which maybe makes them a bit less atrocious.

I found them atrocious, but maybe it’s me. The cookies don’t taste like anything really identifiable, the paste is just sugar.

Make yourself some home made Mac and Cheese someday. Then make sure to burn the recipe so you can save yourself from that daily temptation.

Edit to add, whatever you do. Don’t add chili. Real ChiliMac is a level 5 paranormal entity that will haunt you the rest of your life.

A good macaroni cheese is built from a roux, and uses several cheeses to get that flavour.

With that being said, I don’t get why Americans lose cheese so much. It’s fine, I guess? I would much prefer most other pasta sauces over cheese, because cheese alone is just a bit bland.

don’t worry, you can still melt some cheese on top of the “other pasta sauces” to get the best of both worlds.
