    I just went to the store yesterday to get some more CLEAR VALUE macaroni and cheese and I discovered THEY GOT RID OF IT!!!!! (My favourite mac and cheese since Kraft changed thier recipe)

    THIS WAS THE ONLY MAC AND CHEESE I LIKE- Most has crap in it I am trying to avoid! (Maltodextrin,etc)

    I Guess Ill have to try emailing the company and asking if I can order it WHOLESALE from them,i am really very upset by this.....

    There isnt alot of Food I like anymore because of what the GOVT is telling these food makers to do! (Remove sodium,etc) -- EVERYTHING TASTES LIKE CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!

    Why don't you learn to make it yourself? Far better for you


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,771 ✭✭✭Dude111


    I dunno if it would taste exactly the same and I loved it!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,985 ✭✭✭✭duploelabs


    that's the joy of cooking, learn how to do it and then make it better, experiment with blends of cheese and different thickeners, I can guarentee it you'll love your version more and it'll be cheaper

    I've just had a look at the ingredient list & tbh, I think your local store is doing you a favour. As others have said - try & work out your own recipe. It'll be healthier & more fulfilling in the long run.

    I agree that you can make one at home that will taste great, however, I also agree that it will never taste the same. Using blends of hard cheddar, gruyere, parmesan etc. will give a totally different flavour to the luminous cheese powder sachets that come in the boxed mac n cheese.
    Sorry for going off topic, I just think that sometimes people miss the point of these foods, they're not substitutes for the real thing but a guilty pleasure such as a Big Mac or double pepperoni pizza from dominos.
    My only suggestion for making something half way similar at home would be to use cheeze whizz or american cheese melted with sodium citrate to make a cheese sauce.

    I've never seen or heard of this stuff in my life. Are we talking Ireland here?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,817 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    The US as far as I can make out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,771 ✭✭✭Dude111


    Yes I am sorry,the US

    Most mac and cheese now over here (AND MOST EVERYTHING ELSE) is made with skim milk and doesnt taste as good as it used to...... This is ONE PRODUCT that still thankfully uses reg milk and its quite good!! (I blame the govt here for turning our food into garbage!! -- They want sodium and fat removed..... THE RESULT IS DISGUSTING CRAP!!)

    Was thinking I have never seen it hear alright. The Kraft mac and cheese was a guilty pleasure of mine in Canada. I think it was like 39c a box.
    That was about 2000. Probably about a dollar now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,771 ✭✭✭Dude111


    Ya this stuff is 59 cents a box and I would gladly pay 1.09 for it!! (Im not sure why they had it marked so low (They must not have tried it and seen how good it is!!))


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,771 ✭✭✭Dude111


    Well I found some but I dunno if this mac and cheese is gonna be any good!!

    THE LADY @ THE DISTRIBUTER TOLD ME IT WAS THE SAME!!!!!! -- It isnt .. Clear value has 430 calories and this has 420.. (Its a different brand name made by the same people (for different stores))

    This also has NONFAT MILK (It has buttermilk in it) and a different kind of cheese (reg milk in it though) -- Ya know,SCREW THE STORE THAT DROPPED CLEAR VALUE AND THIER GREEDINESS!!!!!! (Ahhhhh its not selling enough so we are gonna pull it)

    I got 21 boxs of it IN CASE i did like it (The store is quite far) but when i saw 420 and then NONFAT MILK I was upset..... JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU,DONT BLINDLY LISTEN TO ANYONE!!!! (People are not reliable) -- THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS CLEAR VALUE AT ALL!!!!!! (Unless they just changed it,with my luck thats probably it! (THEY CANT LEAVE ANYTHING GOOD ALONE!))

    Im quite sad..... I dont like very much food now because of the garbage they have in it! (Skim milk,etc) -- IM SICK OF GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!


    This VALUE TIME is basically the same as that mac and cheese ALDIs has that i dont like (Same ingredients (However 580 Sodium instead of 590 and only 380 calories))
