          Ah, I was thinking of canned mac n cheese which I tried once and the several times I tried different canned soups containing cheese. It didn’t taste like cheese and it wasn’t tolerable for me. That said I have enjoyed canned queso dip.

          You can make that queso dip way better yourself in like 5 minutes, it’s just a block of queso fresco (or white american), chop it up for faster melting, sodium citrate, milk, peppers, and seasoning. The sodium citrate is vital to keep it from getting grainy.

            I mean you can make Mac and cheese way better than the stuff in a box, but people still love that shit.

          Where are you getting Philly cheese steaks with canned cheese???

          However chef boyardee and spaghetti-os have been a thing. My mom only got them once for us (in the 80s) and I wasn’t impressed. Liked kraft macaroni and cheese though.

            In Philadelphia. The big, famous cheese steak places use it, like Pat’s and Geno’s.

              Philadelphia is one of the few cities I haven’t spent any time, and it’s super disappointing to find this out.

              I get them with American or provolone cheese most places up in New England. Monterey Jack works well too.

              I can’t imagine cheese wiz making these better in any way. Maybe I’ll find out someday.

      You ought to be. It’s a struggle meal, not because of the price but because you struggle to keep it down. The noodles feel simultaneously overcooked, limp and somehow grainy. The sauce is virtually flavorless except for a musky odor of nuclear cheese. The consistency of the sauce is like that of milk, and it does not adhere to the noodles. Your bowl will be a nice mix of cold, pallid noodle soup and boiling hot noodle soup.

      Avoid at all costs. Bought one can for the novelty of feeling the same way. It is so much worse than you’re imagining.

          Have you ever smelled some foam and had that give you a headache? Do you know that chemically smell?

          If so, it tastes whole mouth like that but very concentrated.

          There are also chunks but at the same time there is not discernable difference in texture or consistency. Just vague border regions that register montarily as the broad side of your tongue cuts through them like a razor.

    In British supermarkets, they often don’t even put the beans on shelves. Instead they have stacked palettes of them, because they need to restock so often it’d be inefficient to have to unpack and shelve them.

    Marmite, Lea and Perrin’s, Curry.

    Yup, this is actually the UK section and not just the beans section

        Still can’t understand how some people think England is synonymous with the entire United Kingdom, when in reality it’s only a fraction of it.

          Probably because it’s the centerpiece of the whole UK?

          Probably because it’s the country that created Britain and the UK to begin with?

          It’s really not that confusing if you put even a little thought into it.

            Britain is the island and there have been Britons there since before the Romans showed up, England has only been a thing for around a millennium (though the Angles were around since before then)

    With the signs in two languages and the one trying to be in english (lulz) being smaller, where in Quebec is that?

    Edit: Turns out it’s in France, I don’t think they would be importing French milk all the way to Quebec

    I’m British and I only eat beans and curry, so I can’t see any problem here.

    I bet only British tourists are shopping in this section. French people craving for beans are just eating cassoulet.

    This is a Carrefour, right? I’ve quit shopping at Carrefour a while back. I find their selection getting steadily worse, their house brands quality very low, their price not competitive. Nowadays I shop at medium size chains, and most of non food online, trying to use Amazon as a last resort.

        I’m in Spain. I usually shop at Lidl, Aldi, or Mercadona, a large chain of medium size stores, generally well regarded, with a very good selection, and high quality house brands. Mercadona puts customer satisfaction first, and employee satisfaction second. This seems to be true as employee satisfaction is high, rotation low, and satisfaction levels of around 70%, which in this type of sector is very high. They also pay up to 150% of the median income for these types of jobs.
