That's right. Fake Macaroni & Cheese powder, people.
Or, real Macaroni & Cheese powder, but not Kraft.
Anyway, good enough for the ex-pat really longing for some comfort food and way better deal than 5$ boxes of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese.
This is great stuff. 100 grams of Macaroni (slightly bigger macaronis than those in the Kraft box, but who am I to complain?), a bit of milk, butter, and three tablespoons of this powder, and there you have it, it's like being back in graduate school again. Or being left home alone while in High School. Or being baby-sat by your older sister.
After my sister went off to college, my mom made me macaroni and cheese and I cried. "I miss my Leah!!"
Alain isn't a fan. He wants real cheese. Geesh!
I usually make it when he is off at the karate class he teaches.
My only (minor) complaint is that sometimes it is has clumps that don't dissolve too easily, but seriously, if you want to raise mini Americans while overseas, you hafta buy this stuff.
ETA: For all those wondering, I think I (or my mom) bought it on Amazon.com (not .fr) and mom brought it over. Amazon won't ship it to France (radioactive?), but the company that makes it will (Barry Farms) will ship to France, but it is expensive. Best to con, I mean convince, someone to bring it over for you.
There are some other cheddar powders out there, but I haven't tried them.

Ya loin somethin new ever day....I had no idea there was such a thing as "cheese powder"!
Where did you get that?
I believe I got that for you. I'll bring a bunch of Mac and Cheese for you next time we come!
Mom
Did you buy that here? If you did you have to tell me where. I need a mac & cheese fix about once a month to keep me sane :)
