  • We put American Mac and Cheese and Canadian Kraft Dinner to a taste test to find out which one is better. It wasn't easy because Jason lives in the US and I live in Canada and the border is closed! So we had to mail each other our mac and cheese packs, and it seems that his got held up at the border!

    I have to say I do believe I am the fan who suggested this video. I am American and a professional Chef and I import KD from Canada. I have to say Joseph don't feel too bad because I made both USA and Canadian Kraft Macaroni and cheese for the whole staff of the restaurant-who are all American and Southern. they all tied both I asked them which one they preferred. It was an ABSOLUTE Tie. lol Half of the staff favored the American brand and half favored the Canadian version. And we are all American here but it was still about 50/50 lol. Thanks so much for doing the video. I personally think the Canadian KD has an almost "smoky" flavor to the cheese, but the American version is obviously more creamy. To Each His Own. And yes I have twice had KD imported to me to my home from Canada-5 boxes each time. I love to make my friends choose which is better. Its always 50/50 pretty much. So Thank you guys for making this video. We all love you guys as fans. Keep it up. BTW I personally say "fork" but I have been told by many American friends that you are supposed to eat boxed macaroni and cheese with a spoon. Again. . . . to each his own lol.

      Correct, Canadian wheat includes niacin, riboflavin, etc. often called "enriched wheat" and is mandated (or at least was in the past). And the "natural flavours" in the Canadian version is code word for MSG, which isn't actually bad for you but the percieved stigma has many companies hide its presence.

    As an American who loves his M&C and increasingly thinks about living in Canada, this is disappointing, but not unexpected. The more artificial and unpronounceable ingredients, the better it tastes. Healthier versions of M&C are seldom better. Some commenters are suggesting Presidents Choice, so maybe I should try that?

    I'm in my late 30's and I don't eat KD anymore. They definitely changed the recipe/ingredients over the years and the last few times that I've had it, it tasted awful. I'm Canadian btw. I've always made it the same way (2 tablespoons of butter, 1/3 cup of milk) and I've always eaten it with a spoon (even as a kid). I actually found a cheaper brand they sell at Giant Tiger called "Italpasta macaroni and cheese" and it tastes a lot more like how KD used to taste 15-30 years ago when it was still deliscious.

    I saw you added the Cheese, Butter, and Milk all at the same time. I often do it this way. Butter first, turn on stove to really low until you melt it all the way stirring constantly, add milk, then the cheese, all on a low heat until all the ingredients are mixed up. Makes it quite creamy and good, I also go just a smidge above the 1/4 cup of milk to make it really good.

  • @tinaperez7393
    @tinaperez7393 3 года назад +2

    The spoon : because sometimes the cheese sauce is too thin and liquidy. It can be hard to get it thick and creamy. Also the u,.s. pasta can be tiny so all in all,you can get a more consistent reliable bite with a spoon. My grandma always used to add velveeta to make it thicker and creamier and a touch of tabasco hot sauce. Then she'd cut up hot dogs into bite sized pieces and mix that in . Today I'd never use velveeta and likely make homemade, but grandma's kraft mac n cheese does hold special memories - she kept us fed and loved with that delish comfort food! 😁
