I'm very sorry to say but ds LOVES uk mac & cheese but hates the US version 'it's too cheesy'!!!!

[Tink]

How is it made in the UK?

[sazzledazzle]

Well the way I make it is flour & butter to make a roux then milk to make a white sauce then add the cheese (whatever is hanging around prob cheddar tho) melt the cheese thru the sauce then stir into precooked pasta.
ds was sooooo looking forward to US mac n cheese then when he tried it at disney he thought it was disgusting and it really put him off!

[Tink]

I make it quite the way you describe. I don't like processed American cheese so never put it in mine. Velveeta! YUCK! Nothing but plastic as far as I'm concerned!

[sazzledazzle]

Yes i think you're right it's the plastic cheese thing I think, you can buy it in horrible floppy plastic wrapped cheese 'slices' here disgusting!

[Tink]

I'll have real cheese please!

*giggle* Jon calls this "dog cheese" because the only reason they used to buy it in his household was to fold their dog's medication into it and feed it to him...

I was making Baleigh a toasted cheese sandwhich one night and asked him if we had any cheese, he said, "only dog cheese" Baleigh was MORTIFIED. LOL!!
