I haven’t lived in Canada for 5 years now, and still have my Mom mail me Kraft Dinner from time to time.
It’s awful and disgusting and delicious and wonderful. And let me tell you, there is no better cure for a hangover than a bowl of the neon orange stuff.
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is delicious. This is a fact, folks. I always ask friends to bring me some back when they travel to the states. I can’t believe it isn’t available here…
I can’t say I’ve had your Kraft version. But my dirty food secret is the Tesco value (yes – cheapo value brand) mac and cheese. Its found in the chiller section and takes only a few mins in the microwave to heat up. Then its the most beautiful/horrible (like SJP) food to eat. Its gloopy and stodgy and salty. Way more cheese than mac. And yes, its also, the perfect hangover food. And it costs around 99 c. *hangs head in shame*
I love Kraft mac & cheese! You can get a non-luminous, organic one that tastes almost as good – but I still prefer the original. It reminds me of being a kid!
Thanks for the tip Helen! It’s nice to know I can get my fix if I get too desperate!
One of my Canadian friends is a fan of the non-luminous one but she says that she puts cut up hot dogs in that. I’m not sure I could go that far!
Yep, Helen. I spotted a few boxes at Donnybrook Unfair..I think they come in at just under 5 euros for a box.. Laine, I’ll be checking out the Tesco Mac..
I love Kraft Dinner. Along with cheetos and ruffles, they are the things I miss the most from Canada. I’ve spent a year without them now, and I can’t imagine being without any longer!
when i lived in canada, i decided i HAD to eat kraft dinner, just because it was an north american institution, but i didn’t like it.
but i’m just back from a two week holiday back there, where again i was determined to make some ‘just cos i’m in canada’ and it was AMAZING, and i have been craving it since. it really shoulllllllllld be sold here[in tesco as opposed to donnybrook fair]. there has to be a way to make it happen!!!
“So, Iām starting a campaign to have Kraft dinner stocked in all Irish supermarkets from here on in.” how is your campaign going so far? haven’t seen any kraft dinner in dublin supermarkets… do better!

From Canada living in Ireland for a few years, and my kids miss it as well.
If you are really desperate you can pick some up at Donnybrook Fair, but there is a 600% markup.

I buy mine on ebay. And I love it. And yes, I feel guilty eating it, but I put some steamed broccoli with it.

Ahhh the broccoli makes it ok…particularly because it’s steamed! š
