I have never seen mac and cheese in a can before and I am honestly mildly disgusted.

Considering the origin of carbonara, it’s not that weird.

Ah, I was thinking of canned mac n cheese which I tried once and the several times I tried different canned soups containing cheese. It didn’t taste like cheese and it wasn’t tolerable for me. That said I have enjoyed canned queso dip.

Where are you getting Philly cheese steaks with canned cheese???

However chef boyardee and spaghetti-os have been a thing. My mom only got them once for us (in the 80s) and I wasn’t impressed. Liked kraft macaroni and cheese though.

You can make that queso dip way better yourself in like 5 minutes, it’s just a block of queso fresco (or white american), chop it up for faster melting, sodium citrate, milk, peppers, and seasoning. The sodium citrate is vital to keep it from getting grainy.

You ought to be. It’s a struggle meal, not because of the price but because you struggle to keep it down. The noodles feel simultaneously overcooked, limp and somehow grainy. The sauce is virtually flavorless except for a musky odor of nuclear cheese. The consistency of the sauce is like that of milk, and it does not adhere to the noodles. Your bowl will be a nice mix of cold, pallid noodle soup and boiling hot noodle soup.

Avoid at all costs. Bought one can for the novelty of feeling the same way. It is so much worse than you’re imagining.

I can imagine fake chese custard and slight amounts of overcooked rubbery pasta.

Have you ever smelled some foam and had that give you a headache? Do you know that chemically smell?

If so, it tastes whole mouth like that but very concentrated.

There are also chunks but at the same time there is not discernable difference in texture or consistency. Just vague border regions that register montarily as the broad side of your tongue cuts through them like a razor.

In British supermarkets, they often don’t even put the beans on shelves. Instead they have stacked palettes of them, because they need to restock so often it’d be inefficient to have to unpack and shelve them.

Marmite, Lea and Perrin’s, Curry.

Yup, this is actually the UK section and not just the beans section

It was invented in Scotland, so it’s British but not English.

Still can’t understand how some people think England is synonymous with the entire United Kingdom, when in reality it’s only a fraction of it.

Probably because it’s the centerpiece of the whole UK?

Probably because it’s the country that created Britain and the UK to begin with?

It’s really not that confusing if you put even a little thought into it.
