Home: Guest Post on Kraft Dinner

The following is a Guest Post written by Jaclyn Yurek, I have not tried Kraft Dinner but the love shown for this food by Canadian students is amazing, the Wikipedia entry discusses Canadian Culture and the processed cheesy pasta snack - anyway - read on:

You crave it after a long hard day at work, you buy 10 boxes when it’s on sale at the grocery store because now it costs over a dollar, after a long night out at a bar it’s all you want to cure the hangover, not to mention you went to bed the night before just thinking of how great it will taste in the morning, you always eat a whole box when really, the serving size is 1/3.  It doesn’t matter because it’s Kraft Dinner. It’s easy to make, and no one ever follows the instructions just use a little bit of milk, a spoonful of butter, all of the cheesey magic that comes in the box and you’ve got yourself a mean pot of KD. 

Some may disagree, but Kraft Dinner is always best to eat just after it’s made.  None of this “left overs” business.  You either eat it all, or only make half a box. You can’t let Kraft Dinner go to waste, and saving it for another day by putting it in the fridge is just not the same.  The next day it’s always stringy and it loses its creamy goodness.

Some people new to North America who haven’t yet tried Kraft Dinner please take note.  You must buy the Kraft Dinner Original.  Don’t be confused by these other variations of Kraft Dinner that are in the grocery stores like “extra creamy”, “spirals”, “sharp cheddar” not to mention all of the fake Kraft Dinner brands out there that might look like Kraft Dinner but are in a different box with a different name.  None of these compare to Kraft Dinner Original (and there’s actually less in the box for most of them).  More recently since everyone’s on some kind of health kick, you can now get cauliflower noodles and whole-wheat noodles for Kraft Dinner.  Come on, go big or go home.  We’ve all dealt with the fact that it’s not good for us, but Kraft Dinner is a classic meal and not for those who can’t handle a good high calorie cheesey dish.

All in all, Kraft Dinner is really tasty. Enough said.  If you haven’t tried it, trust me it doesn’t disappoint.  And for those of you who might be resistant, just make half a box and I’m sure if you go out on any street in North America at 2am when all the bars are closing you could make a killing off of the leftovers.

TIP: could be served with cut up hot dogs, and ketchup (but really is best on its own).
