    I’m gonna level with y’all. I have a certain number of areas where my tastes are reasonably sophisticated and bougie (a nice dry artisanal cider… perfection), but in many ways I have the palate of a latchkey kid in 1993. I love a dozen kinds of fast food, sugary breakfast cereals, and yeah, while I prefer other recipes over it, I’m quite fond of regular Kraft Mac & Cheese/Kraft Dinner.

    All of which is to tell you that I’m not sneering down from some Michelin-starred ivory tower when I say that Microwave bowls of Mac & Cheese are FUCKING DISGUSTING. Whatever combination of powdered milk and thickeners and Satan-snot they have to put into the bowls to make the process work at all is just nasty.

    It’s an abomination before the Lord. That fork was just desperately trying to avoid being shoved into that slime bucket.

      You can get like, cooked noodles with shredded, decent quality cheese, which are refrigerable and have maybe a week or two till they go bad… you can get those from some places delis, and they are actually pretty decent when microwaved…

      But yeah, the infinite shelf life, dry noodles and cheese powder, just add water… shit is disgusting when microwaved.

      My first thought when I saw the meme was more an Italian going ‘God No!! Why?!’

      Because the microwave bowls are abominations. Don’t get me wrong I will eat them but they are awful starchy water+ powder that really nails that chemical je ne sais quoi

      Even the Mac in pic is an awful sad example of a failed bowl
