I haven’t eaten it in quite a while, but…
It all depends on the size of the pasta. If you mean specifically the Kraft mac ‘n cheese, spoon.
If you mean some home-made, larger noodles, fork.
You forgot people like me (PLM), who don’t eat white or processed foods.
Kraft Neon Macaroni: fork. With cracked black pepper.
I’m out of the norm: I eat it with chopsticks. (Then again, I eat most everything (that can be eaten with a fork) with chopsticks.) :D
@Les Neon Macaroni sounds even more alarming than regular macaroni.
@gailcalled – But that’s what it is. It is an orange that doesn’t occur in nature. I don’t like to eat it, in fact, I haven’t eaten it in years. But we grad students sometimes have no choice…
SPOOOOOON! I eat it with a spoon.
Edit: @Sarcasm makes a good point. If it’s home made I eat it with a fork since my grandma usually makes it with larger noodles.
do either of you know why Kraft brand tastes better than house brand? I’ve always wondered. O_o
Who needs utensils when you have your hands…
@evegrimm artificial flavorings are always better
and @Allie I don’t necessarily mean to emphasize the point of it being homemade, but rather the size of the pasta itself. It’s inefficient to stab every tiny Kraft noodle with a fork, just as it is inefficient try to scoop up one or two large noodles with a spoon.
@Sarcasm Agreed. GA. @peedub That is vile… and who uses that much butter!??!
@peedub: And for this you need to go to law school? That has most of the food types; sugar, artificial coloring, fat… all that is missing is caffeine and nicotine. (And I believe that the pan is lined with teflon.)
Sigh I was just trying to joke about the unnatural quality of Kraft Mac. They’re not neon… nevermind.
@Les; I know. Wouldn’t it be just as cheap to boil some whole wheat pasta with EVOO, garlic, chopped tomatoes and parsley? At least that wouldn’t glow in the dark.
@gailcalled – Yes it would. I do that quite often. Mmm. you’re making me hungry.
I eat it with a fork. This weirds my husband out. He’ll go to hand me a spoon and then remember. I can’t fathom using a spoon for mac&cheese.
btw, I got an email from my mother about The Unhealthy Truth exposing that Kraft uses natural products in other countries but the USA. Is this true?
Oh please. A fork! The best of both worlds. You can spear the macaroni OR scoop, with some light training.
Fork. Spoon. Whichever is closer :)
A fork.
@evegrimm I don’t know if you have a Food Lion near you, but they’re version of Kraft Mac & Cheese is pretty good. (If you mean store brand, not home made.)
@Supacase, I’m going to assume I don’t have a “Food Lion” near me, because I’ve never heard of it! :D
(Although I adore homemade mac + cheese, sometimes I’m hungry or crave the quick, weird, somewhat cheesy taste of preservative-ridden Kraft Mac + Cheese. I’m a college student; I’m excused.)
home-style: Fork
Kraft: Spoon
You ought to try sucking it through a really big straw; the sounds are worth it. =)
Fork. Homemade only please.
@AstroChuck: Ketchup!?!?!???
On Mac and Cheese!?!?
Well I did respect you…once.
@cprevit whats wrong with mac’n’cheese with ketchup? It’s delicious!! Good for you @astrochuck!
Fork, almost always. Every now and again, I’ll eat Kraft Shells ‘n Cheese in a bowl. Those tiny little shells practically beg for a spoon.
I appologe for spelling @cprevite and forgetting the “e”
@XOIIO: Please, don’t sweat the name-mispelling.
I still can’t believe ketchup on mac and cheese. Maybe I’ll try it.
I prefer the fork. I just realized…fork is funny word.
Fork, fork, fork, fork. Yep. Funny.
Use a fork eating ice cream.
it’s fun and forky
A fork!!!
If the cheese is not cheesy enough to stay on the mac, it’s not good enough.
Put me down for a fork, but not for mac and cheese. That stuff is just one of the examples that there is no real American cuisine. If you really want to have some great macaroni try the old Italian recipes or try it with small blocks of ham, soup veggies(onions, carrots, peas) and ketchup. Sounds weird but it’s great, just like the much mentioned PB and pickles sandwich.
Fork.
Very hungry – Tablespoon.
Has anyone ever used the Knork?
Fork.
Then I scoop out the leftover cheese at the bottom of the bowl with a spoon. Because I only eat homemade mac ‘n’ cheese!
@knitfroggy Thanks for that. Ingenius, I’d never seen it. One of those things you wished you’d thought up first, eh?!
I have a spoon with a split in the middle so I can have the best of both worlds. Only the left side is bent down a bit so when I try to slide the spoon in and under it cuts the noodles in to smaller bits
In a more formal context spoons are for (thin) fluids only, like soup.
Its one of those foods that can go either way, but I prefer to use a fork.
Fork, but then again I use a fork to eat almost anything. I mostly don’t even use a knife, I just use the edge of the fork :D.
I’ve heard that Spooning leads to Forking if your not careful.
I eat mac and cheese with my mouth. It doesn’t matter how you stuff it in there…
