      I was really just comparing to generic. Annie’s isn’t generic. I still prefer Kraft, but I’d take Annie’s over generic too.

        Yep. I’m from Europe and of course this is kind of not understanding American culture enough to not compare different qualities of mac&cheese. That reminds me, we came back home from the US and had mac&cheese in a restaurant in Germany. They served us Kraft with fried onions and parmesan flakes on top. At that moment I understood Germans will never understand American cuisine…

          You should never ever in a million years find restaurants serving Kraft mac and cheese in America. That’s wrong. It’s a cheap food you fix up at home when you’re feeling too lazy to cook for real. Most of us like it because we grew up eating it. Real Mac and cheese is so much better.

            Exception: some places explicitly put it on the kids’ menu as something that even finicky eaters will find familiar.

            Yeah, well we were a month in KC just before and ate the most amazing food. It was so crazy to get that thing from the restaurant when we got back.
