I feel my Canadian friends use the right amount while my American friends are too conservative.

If by ketchup you actually mean Branston Pickle, then I'd usually start with a decent tablespoon on the edge and top up if required.

I'm headed to the UK next month, and I should remember to get some. I've heard about it for ages but it's not available here. Bovril and marmite too! Any other oddities that I might actually enjoy (and can fly with)?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'd say pack your case with Haggis and cold packs but not sure how well that would go down with border control!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

What is a cold pack? Haggis sounds awesome.

Any amount of ketchup on mac n cheese is too much

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

I top my mac and cheese up with tonic and finish it with a float of St. Germaine.

Alright, lot of people saying zero here, and I agree, but there is a fancy mac and cheese place that serves barbeque pork mac and cheese that is incredible. Barbeque sauce goes very well with mac and cheese even without the pork.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

True, I would use bbq but not ketchup

[–] [email protected] 37 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Zero. The answer to this question is Zero. There is no amount of Ketchup that should be added to Kraft Dinner.

Is that Celine Dion over there?

If you know, you know. I'm not your guy, friend.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Depends on the amount of mac, surely? Are we talking an aluminum pan for a party, or just a bowl for one person?

Either way if you can get your hands on some Whataburger Spicy Ketchup you should try using that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hell yeah, that sounds awesome. And I meant about a box worth.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I like to give it a good drizzle but it doesn't use a significant amount of the ketchup. Nowhere near half the bottle.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Despite my love and appreciation for the Barenaked Ladies, one should just drink fancy Dijon ketchups and not bother with the Kraft Mac and Cheese to begin with.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I mean unless you have a million dollars or something.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago

We dont defile macaroni and cheese here so zero.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago

Why would you make your pasta taste like cheese and then make it stop tasting like cheese?

Any amount of ketchup on mac and cheese is too much.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Any amount of ketchup on anything is too much.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Add hamburger into the KD and then ketchup becomes acceptable, even encouraged IMO.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (3 children)

And now we have to talk about how any amount of hamburger in mac and cheese is too much.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

You're just straight up wrong. Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Easy mac and a few oz of seasoned ground beef is just sad hamburger helper. It's good, tho.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

This is the answer right here.
