I bought this cheese powder from Gmarket:

I haven't used it to make mac & cheese yet but it tastes almost exactly like the powder you get from the box. I'm using it to sprinkle on my popcorn and it's really good.


That says baby food.

Quick Mac n Cheese recipe: (sorry, not Kraft!)

Boil some pasta. Put it in a bowl. Put a slice or 2 of your favorite cheese (Munster or Pepper Jack from Costco are great, but "plastic" cheese will do ya!) on top. Nuke for 40ish seconds. Add ground pepper.

Enjoy!

Also, I love how Canadians call macaroni and cheese "Kraft Dinner." It's so cute how our little pseudo-liberal brothers embrace our American mega-corporations!


I think it's because Kraft Dinner and mac & cheese are two different things, mac & cheese being homemade and Kraft Dinner being the kind in a box that tastes nothing like the homemade kind...

No, it's because the same item is marketed differently in different countries.

It says "Kraft Dinner" on the box no matter where you buy it, that's why we call it Kraft Dinner. "Mac & cheese" is what your aunt brings to potluck dinners and while it tastes good, it's not quite KD. Laughing

I see the words Macaroni and Cheese in very large lettering, and the word Dinner in much smaller lettering.

Also, homemade is always better, but sometimes you want something quick. My mom used to make this with freezer fish sticks once a week. We were kids, so we loved it. Now, I prefer from scratch.

It must be named differently in the US. Weird. This is the only one we see in Canada:

Anyone seen any Kraft Dinner/Mac and Cheese that isn't the Costco brand and is somewhere south of $4 a box? I'm reaching here like an addict in need of a fix. Any help would be appreciated.

Or perhaps they're just corporate floozies in general. Enjoy your timbits!!!!


What the "F" is your problem?

The original name is Kraft Dinner. Americans changed it later. We didn't.

Seriously, took five seconds to look that up on Wikipedia.

Lazy, disrespectful arse

And for the record, Kraft Dinner was produced in a factory literally ten houses down from mine in CANADA! About the only thing American about it was the patent.

Before I even clicked this thread I knew there would be at least one CANADIAN proclaiming that it's from Canada, not the US.

What's with people from Canada being so quick to jump on things that come from their country? Hell I don't even know where Kraft mac and cheese comes from. Nor do I care.

I smell an identity crisis.

I do not grasp this fascination with KD mac and cheese.

Correct. As I wrote earlier, it's the same item but it's marketed differently in different places. US marketing doesn't use the "Kraft dinner" term at all.

Who CARES?! Now, if anyone knows a cheap supplier of the stuff, it would be a nice once-in-awhile treat/taste of childhood for many of us, and information as to where to purchase said yumminess would be appreciated.

I've never seen the Kraft brand under 3,000 won.

Every once in a while I spring for the one with the Velveeta sauce. So good, so unhealthy...
