    Okay now I want some KD…(Either way it will have to be tomorrow, Amazon or a 2 1/2 drive to the border. BTW I'm a Canadian who lives in the Seattle and NO I will not eat Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, trust me Kraft Dinner is far better!)

    Interesting, processed & Kraft cheese in particular. Variations must surely allow for Gruyère, Emmenthal for the cheese, medium age Gouda also would be tasty. Even more decadent is to swap partially with Roquefort or Stilton (the real stuff, not some loathsome generic blue cheese). Roquefort & creamy bechamel with mushroom macaroni, coated with breadcrumbs, grated Parmezan & grilled. Toss some garlic in too 😋

    Rule nr. 1, a lot of pasta and not too much cheese.

    Hey Max! Can you explain why the cheese sauce was so smooth, but you didn't make the roux? Whenever I don't make a roux my cheese is all grainy and separated! 😮‍💨

    With regards to bread crumbs, i recommend store bought pre sliced french bread.
    pre-heat oven to 375F then cook bread slices on a thin metal tray on bottom rack for 14 – 16 minutes.
    The bread comes out nice and crispy with less browning.
    Italian bread also works.
    If you want the bread to brown even less, place an empty tray on the rack above the bread.

    I have had some prepackaged Mac&Cheese that was very uninspired, if not actially "bad". Let's say bland and tasteless.

  21. Aaron Mcneal

    So does the Macaroni style and rebuttal of being neither "male nor female" mean that we can bring it back and use it for the "they them" people now?

    Speaking of ready made pasta I would love to see you do a video on the history of the real Chef Ettore Boiardi who is behind Chef Boyardee if you haven't yet. His story and what he achieved is really fascinating from what little I have read of it. I also wanted to say thank you so much for making such interesting videos. I get chronic migraines and I love watching your videos to cheer myself up when I'm stuck in bed, I especially appreciate Jose doing the subtitles!

    " Or a Max of one." You made me snort! I can't tell you how many times I've downed a whole box, by myself!

    Damn, I knew Thomas Jefferson's fancy ass was going to come up regarding macaroni & cheese in the late 1700s.

  32. Rose

    Hahahaha I'm gonna get a wheel of cheese to keep in a room to show guests

    If I can give you some advice on the bread crumbs. Use whole wheat bread. Blitz in food processor, then brown the crumbs with butter in a pan. It is the only way I make it. Been doing it since 2005 that way, and do mac & cheese at least once a month.

    Everythings just mac and cheese bro. Chicken alfredo- mac and cheese. Lasagne- mac and cheese. Spaghetti– well that's just a noodle but you get my point

    The whole "stuck a feather in his cap and called it Macaroni" makes a little more sense now, after watching this video.

    How very american to blindly adopt something taking the piss out of them

  37. irlfc9

    The process cheese factory burned down the other day. The only thing that didn't melt was the cheese.

    My parents always had mace in the spice rack. Today, it is hard to find on store shelves.
