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

The right amount of ketchup on Mac and cheese is zero

This comment is a declaration of war against Canada

The Leafs suck and Qubec waters down their maple syrup

—That’s a declaration of war against Canada

[-] AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

The leafs suck? Welcome honorary Canadian! Come join us on Tuesday to hopefully see the leafs choke yet again against Boston!

BTW, to trigger a good chunk of Canadian's, just say you made a poutine but used kraft singles (aka American cheese) instead of cheese curds.

I hate myself for even typing that last part.

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

Any ketchup on Mac and Cheese is too much if you are older than twelve.

Use Sriracha like an adult.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Oh yeah, I agree about spice. I mix habanero hot sauce with the ketchup. But the ketchup flavor is my favorite part... I'm a little over twelve.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Do you like fish sticks?

[-] wjrii@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

I prefer cayenne pepper on mac and cheese. The flavor profiles work well together, I don't like adding anything vinegary to M&C, and lord knows it could use some spice.

green habanero Yucateco legit slaps on a baked mac'n'cheese

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I haven’t met a Yucateco that doesn’t slap, but the Black Label Reserve Chile Habanero is next level.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 4 points 6 months ago

It's SO good! Especially on anything with vegetables in.

[-] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 50 points 6 months ago

This is a joke, right? Nobody actually puts ketchup on macaroni and cheese, right? No way. No way.

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

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

[-] xkforce@lemmy.world 30 points 6 months ago

We dont defile macaroni and cheese here so zero.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 30 points 6 months ago

Any amount of ketchup on mac n cheese is too much

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 25 points 6 months ago

There is NO pasta dish that should have catsup on it. None.

Nope. I don't like this. No thank you.

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 18 points 6 months ago

Any ketchup on mac and cheese is too much ketchup.

[-] blargerer@kbin.social 16 points 6 months ago

I've never known a Non-Canadian to put any on mac and cheese, which is of course the correct amount. You can make home made mac cheaper and more flavourfully than name brand KD.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

The answer is hot sauce

[-] GluWu@lemm.ee 15 points 6 months ago

Northern countries should be banned from importing ketchup, they only use it to commit sins and atrocities. Norway has some explaining to do.

Ketchup is like garlic...you don't measure it with your eyes, you measure it with your heart.

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

garlic in mac n cheese is good

[-] Godnroc@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

True, I would use bbq but not ketchup

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 11 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Your canadian friends only use the right amount if they dont use any ketchup at all.

Ketchup on actual dishes is a sin and the culinary concession that your food tastes like shit and needs to be drowned in the allspice of condiments.

I have no idea how big the bottles are you're using, but I can tell you.... half a bottle is way too fucking much.

That said, I think ketchup on Mac and cheese is absolutely disgusting, but dumping half a bottle of anything into anything is way too much

[-] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Any is too much, everyone knows ketchup properly belongs on peanut butter sandwiches.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Now I need to know what else you put ketchup on

I've mixed quite a few things into mac & cheese. Ketchup has never been one of them.

Speaking of condiments, mixing about 1 tbsp of mustard (dijon works best, but regular yellow is fine too) into the cheese sauce helps bring out the cheese flavor, but doesn't make it taste like mustard.

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

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 6 months ago

As an American of a certain age, as soon as I saw the post title I heard "Ode oten doten day..." in my head.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Well that was fan fucking tastic.

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

Depends. Have you mixed in good stuff? Broccoli? Bacon? Peas? Extra cheese? Mustard?

If yes, then none. Savour the flavour provided by your culinary instigator.

If no, then maybe?

[-] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago

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.

Maybe a tsbp so the can stragicially use it as a dip spot for each bite.

[-] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

Nobody can tell you the right amount for you. If you like the amount you use, great.
