    I can’t understand why Americans love industrialized cheese so much. It’s horribly, full of salt. Unbearable!

      Make yourself some home made Mac and Cheese someday. Then make sure to burn the recipe so you can save yourself from that daily temptation.

      Edit to add, whatever you do. Don’t add chili. Real ChiliMac is a level 5 paranormal entity that will haunt you the rest of your life.

      A good macaroni cheese is built from a roux, and uses several cheeses to get that flavour.

      With that being said, I don’t get why Americans lose cheese so much. It’s fine, I guess? I would much prefer most other pasta sauces over cheese, because cheese alone is just a bit bland.

        don’t worry, you can still melt some cheese on top of the “other pasta sauces” to get the best of both worlds.

      It’s like Oreos. I think it’s things that are cultural. You probably can’t get into it once your taste has already been shaped. But if you grew up with it, it’s different. We probably all have such things at home. Although typically not from the horrifying US big food conglomerates, which maybe makes them a bit less atrocious.
