No. Cheap/quick American mac and cheese is what you are describing. Traditional macaroni and cheese involves real cheeses (more than one,) cream or milk, mustard, and a bit of chili powder, as well as the macaroni.
Note: All cheese is processed. Making cheese is a processed. Boiling eggs is a process. That's like saying that you don't like chemicals. Even water is a chemical. What you mean by processed cheese is "embalmed cheese food." Yes. It's crap. Real macaroni and cheese would never involve that trashy foodstuff.
Okay, back on topic. Let's end the Mac'N'Cheese stuff and think of some other American foods. The corn dog comes to mind. |
Yes but some cheese does not have additives, preservatives and who knows what else. I prefer my cheese to only contain natural ingredients instead of tasting like rubber. |
All cheese has additives, even if it's as simple as lemon juice or vinegar. I'm joshing with you, though. I know what you mean. There are times, however, when I'm craving the nasty grilled cheese on white bread that I had as a little kid, and nothing else will do but "cheese food" slices. This craving hits perhaps once a year.
Great Recipe Alert:
Using whatever bread you like (I bake my own bran bread, but the Romanian peasant bread at Tartine would also be perfect,) put cheddar on one side, cream cheese on the other, and roasted (I can't get fresh, so I just use the stuff in the jars) jalapenos in between. Add a few nacho chips to give it crunch, then make it as though you were making a grilled cheese (butter on the outside) or panini. It's divine.
I'm a cheese snob, myself, and have a freezer full of stuff that I just brought back from England. One of my friends here MAKES cheese, so I consider myself fortunate to have an ample cheese supply. |
I would pay good money to raid your fridge for some English cheese 
Some Wenslydale & Apricot, Stilton or Cheshire would be perfect !!
The best I have found here in Korea is the New Zealand Cheddar from Emart which is ok but way overpriced and nothing special !! |

My freezer is mainly loaded up with extra mature cheddar and stilton. While I love the rest, these two are staples. In a pinch, though, you could get Pilgrim extra mature cheddar from Homeplus, and okay gorgonzola from Shinsegae's wine shop (though the blue costs a fortune for a small bit.) It's decent, if not amazing.
How do you stop wiki from going black? |

They thanked him, sent him home, and then adopted the flag three years later. First for maritime use, then within 50 years, it became widespread.

Given the original Union Jack (without the cross of St. Patrick) was first adopted in 1606, even if a someone from the colonies created it, they still would have been a British citizen, since at the time the colonies were still under British rule (i.e. he wasn't from the USA because it didn't exist yet). Thus you'd have to be a bitter jackanape to consider that theft. |
Absolutely not, and here's why: Everything I've posted on this thread has been a complete fabrication to begin with.
I mean come on, "James Staunchclap"? "Cecil Gonharrhiel"?
Just taking the piss. Please don't be angry. |

Well, I for one, knew that you were having a laugh and I was laughing myself, at your posts.
How about taking this thread in a different direction and naming your top five (ten?) absolute favourite dishes, inclusive of all countries/regions? My own choices, and I'd be hard-pressed to stop at five or even ten, would have a distinctly Mediterranean slant, as I totally love the cuisine of that region.
Thoughts? Opinions? Mexican? Thai? French? Indian? Italian? Brazilian? Or ... wait for it ... Korean? |

Sounds like a plan..
My top 5 Mexican would be, in this order,
1) Birria
2) Mole
3) Carne en Su Jugo
4) Torta Ahogada
5) Tacos |

Spanish speakers around the world are puzzled why Americans hate soup so much. |

| All French Cuisine is Italian in origin. French Cuisine didn't exist before Marie de Medici married Henry II. She brought Italian renaissance cooking with her. |

Of course French cuisine existed, maybe haute cuisine didnt exist before that period but people in France were eating for hundreds of years before that so it just means that the cuisine was different but nonetheless it existed. |
