  I am, but you don’t have it down in the states?

    I’m Canadian too. Here’s the absolutely batshit thing. They do have it down in the states but they don’t call it Kraft Dinner. To them it’s just “Kraft Mac & Cheese”. Their boxes just say Macaroni and Cheese with a Kraft brand on top of it. They actually have to distinguish between boxed and baked mac and cheese…

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

        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

        It’s just blue box to me.

      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.

        It depends on how much your parents love you

      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.

    We don’t call it kraft. It’s just Mac and cheese. Fuck Robert kraft.
