Poll question: Which is Better? Velveeta or Kraft Mac And Cheese?
I'm making Velveeta tonight and I greatly prefer it over Kraft Mac and Cheese. It's extremely cheesy :yum: I'm making this into a poll to see which one you DUers prefer. So...which one is it?

7. The one that doesn't have powdered cheese, but thick overly salted
cheese in the packet. Hot sauce can make it edible.

54. It's confusing to me. I've been in a number of arguments with
roommates over this. The actual semi-liquid cheese is much better than the powdered version. I think some people are just afraid of change.

Then again, most of these people didn't like Indian either, so their taste can't be that great in the first place.

37. which is why I haven't
purchased Kraft products, or Nabisco products for several years now.


There is only one product that has no acceptable alternative: Oreos.

15. yes, they are both kraft products, but the kraft logo is more noticeable
on the Mac and Cheese, and not so much on the Velveeta box.

I didn't know you were deaf. I was subtly suggesting something else, but if you don't get it, I'm not goingto explain it to you. If you really want to know, IM me on AIM.

And no I'm not. Honest Mistake. And just so you know I don't make fun of people's disabilities they have no control over. I do however like to make fun of people for the disabilities they do have control over and if you got my subtlety you'd know that.

And I'm not talking about your feminism. I do not do that subtly because you go overboard with it, and are rude about it. I really didn't know you were deaf. And I'm not going to apologize for something I didn't know. It's an honest mistake.

I didn't know...And if I did, I don't remember. I really don't pay attention to you much especially in chat because you infuriate me most of the time because you aren't very nice to people most of the time.

20. Here
Edited on Fri Jun-11-04 07:24 PM by Neo Progressive
1st: Get a Bull and a Cow. Let the Bull and Cow copulate. After whatever the average time a cow is pregnant, the cow should give birth. If it's a female calf, you're in luck. If not, repeat the step again.

2nd: After getting a female calf, feed it and let it grow into maturity. After it matures, it should begin producing milk. Retrieve this milk.

3rd: After retrieving the milk send the milk through some processing so that it becomes cheese.

4th: Melt the cheese and put it on macaroni or whatever you plan on putting the cheese on.

:D

30. You're making it too complicated.
After the cow gives birth, it will lactate to feed the calf, then you just have to milk it. :P

But I grow and mill my own grain for the noodles, so I think I'm allowed to be lazy on the cheese part.

19. Velveeta IS Kraft...
It doesn't taste much better, and it's overpriced, just like those silly mammoth blocks of Velveeta in the stores...

52. I never thought of comparing them
Ate them both growing up though. I like the Original Kraft Mac and Cheese from the blue box. It's kind of a comfort food nostalgia thing. We weren't well-off growing up, but we made do, and I guess my young taste buds never changed when it came to good old Mac and Cheese. It's cheap and fast.

As for Velveeta, the only way we ate it was for pimiento and cheese sandwiches. My Mom would grate an entire brick, mix it with a jar of pimientoes and lots of mayo. Spread it on toasted white bread and you have some of the best comfort food ever. Try this if you haven't!
