    Both of these horrors look like those Walmart one pan recipes where you dump a 4lb bag of cheese on some noodles with some kind of broth and cook for an hour hoping what comes out is edible…

        You’re right, I should have said pasta, feel free to shame me, I don’t call penne, macaroni, etc., noodles e.g. but I certainly said noodles above.

          My beloved wife still thinks it’s all the same and we are crazy for having so many different names and shapes for 面条

            Ask her why the shapes of 兰州拉面,油泼面,𰻝𰻝面, 重庆小面,etc. are so different.

              Hahaha! Yeah exactly! And same for all the delicious varieties of 豆腐. Mostly she just gets crazy trying to remember all the Italian names, since we are in France. It’s a fair point. It’s just funny slagging her about it :)

    WTF is wrong with americans? Can’t they eat normal somewhat healthy food? Use real cheese and just grate it on top of some hot macaroni, damn it.

        American cheese isn’t made of plastic in the sense of polymers, it is plastic in the sense of being easily deformed or molded.

        At its most basic, American cheese is literally just cheese, water and sodium phosphate. It’s “not cheese”, but in the sense that meatloaf isn’t meat and mayonnaise isn’t eggs.

    As a white girl in a culinary wasteland, this hurts me on a level that my English ancestors can feel. My favourite food is plain unsalted potatoes, and yet this abomination is offensive to me.

    I’m certain serving either of these would be considered a war crime. I’m actually confident if we offered these choices to insurgent armies as the only alternative to a truce, we’d have peace on earth.

    What I’m saying is both of these crimes against pasta are soul-crushingly awful. Jesus wept.
