It's cheese, what do you expect? I assume the smell is caused by the chemical in rennet, that stuff they scrape from the lining of a cows stomach, which is present in cheese and vomit. Although, this is an old discussion.

It's mac & cheese... you expected it to be nice?

Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhh
This is pretty much the single foodstuff I cannot stomach, despise the stuff. Crazy thing is, Macaroni Cheese proper is well nice, but this satanly concotion is utterly unpalatable. Ugh!

I can if it's homemade proper Mac & Cheese, not canned mac and cheese - which is for emergencies only.

Cooked? That ain't cooking!

Sucks like a fox
I used to enjoy the tinned stuff, but no longer. One day I had some and just realised how foul it was and deceided 'never again'.
Now I make it to the following recipe myself (for 3 people):
Melt 75g butter in a pan
Add 75g flour and mix
Cook for 1 minute
Slowly add 650ml of milk
Cook sauce for approx 5 minutes
Add 200g cheese (I use strong chedder and sometimes mix in a little feta)
Add a little cayenne pepper
Add some cooked bacon (cut up into little pieces) or sausage meat
Then stir in some pasta that has been cooked for a minute or so less than it says on the bag.
Grate some cheese over the top and stick in a 200 C oven for 15-20minutes whilst you clear up.
Jobs a goodun.

When you say serves 3? is that a posh restaraunt portion or a man portion?
Soldato
Exactly - making any tinned soup or similar in the microwave is guaranteed inferior!
Well the recipe is supposed to serve 4, I would say it serves 3 easily.
I use about 600g macaroni (the small stuff) when I make it.
