I bought my first Kiwi mac 'n cheese yesterday. Wow, was it bad. I know that American, specifically Kraft, mac 'n cheese is hardly natural or even what one would call relatively good for you. But you know what? No one cares. I love that artificial cheese like substance they pass off for food. They just simply don't have that kind of thing here. I don't think it would sell either. They have this silly little thing where they like to have their food taste like real food. Even their McDonald's commercials (and one could only assume, products as well) mock the stereotype of terribly bad food in favor of deli sandwiches, salads, and fruits for options. People who don't like fries aren't going to like powdered cheese.
Still. Regardless of their cheese snobbery, I love it. They have a line of instant food (my favorite kind) that includes mashed potatoes and gravy and it's vegetarian. Unlike Americans, they don't enjoy arbitrarily tossing chicken fat into things "just for taste!" This same line of food had some instant "macaroni pasta and cheese." Well, I'll try anything once, so I bought it. It was gross. They put seasonings in it. Like garlic and pepper and things. And it was all saucy. It was poop is what it was. I was hoping for some good old fashioned whole serving of nothing good for you and they had to go and try and make it gourmet. Sigh.
Any donations of Kraft Mac 'n Cheese can be sent to me in bulk. No questions asked.
