Mac & Cheese anathema

Got these Kraft Mac and Cheese pots, and they are absolutely awful. They taste like a bad version of Velveeta M&C. Where can I just get the ole box Kraft M&C?

Well, I'm fairly new here but in the time I have spent looking for food items in particular, some things I have only been able to locate online.... There is a food section for this forum so maybe you can get some input there as well?

Eh I'm just amused, more than anything.

We'll, my Sainsbury's has an American section now with Kraft and peanut butter m&ms and Ocado also carried it.

They're about £2.20 a box.

Eh I'm just amused, more than anything.

Glad I can entertain!
I will have to look into Sainsburys here in Inverness, thanks Lyonaria!

Lol not at you. I was amused at how awful it is!

Most of the "American " foods I have found here just do not taste right! And yes, some of them are truly awful.

Chocolate malts/shakes are generally bad as well. Only place I've found that is close is Creams and Ed's Easy Diner.

American foods that are actually made here are made to the UK taste/palate. So they aren't the same.

The shakes at Byron burger are amazing! I really want one now.

You can get the box in Tesco or Sainsbury's but be careful: some of the things in the American aisle can be found for a third the price elsewhere in the store. 

From the sound of it, I really wish we had a Byron Burger up here!

There's over 60 locations now and there might be one close to you.

Ugh! Nearest is in Aberdeen.... And I'm in Inverness....not good!

Those instant pots are just horrible. I don't think it matters what it is. They all taste stale and gross.

In our local Asda there is a mac and cheese just called "Cheesey Pasta", think it is about 80p. Not quite as good as Kraft but with a few adjustments it is ok. I usually use it for a tuna noodle casserole so it doesn't matter too much.

I am pretty sure I have seen it mentioned before but Kraft do a frozen mac and cheese available in a lot of places too. I actually don't mind it but it MUST be made in the oven. When made in the microwave it just isn't the same!

Edited to add: Actually I just found out that Cheesey Pasta *IS* Kraft. https://groceries.asda.com/product/packet-pasta/kraft-cheesey-pasta/35198

But now they also have this! (I dont think it's the same as the instant pots) https://groceries.asda.com/product/pasta-snacks/kraft-classic-macaroni-cheese/910003087023

Wow. They're actually mmanufacturing it over here now? The address is a UK one.

Let us know how it is if anyone tries it!

I'll probably keep buying the imported stuff as the OP said, UK made US products don't taste the same.
