I have never seen mac and cheese in a can before and I am honestly mildly disgusted.

They started making canned spaghetti carbonara now too
It's like they're trying to commit war crimes.
Nah, just preparing for war times
I imagine they're quite hard to do by accident

Canned anything with cheese tastes revolting from my experience.
I mean Philly cheese steaks are made with canned cheese wiz, and then there's salsa queso dip they sell in cans, and everyone loves that shit.
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.

I live in the USA and can confirm never seeing this before.
Though I'd try it tbh
It's... Not good

Avoid at all costs. Bought one can for the novelty of feeling the same way. It is so much worse than you're imagining.
I can imagine fake chese custard and slight amounts of overcooked rubbery pasta.
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.

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.
Chef Boyardee sells mac and cheese in a can in the US!

As a brit id say blimey they got it spot on
Victoria would be proud to know her empire still provides for the people even now
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

Tikka masala is English food no matter how Indian it seems
It was invented in Scotland, so it's British but not English.
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.

Royaume-Uni/USA
Angleterre/États-Unis
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
Another clue it isn't Quebec is that Quebec wouldn't bother having a separate US section when the States are just a couple hours drive away.
Canned Macaroni and Cheese?
Barbarians!
It comes out of a damn box!
Beautiful. This should be the national flag.
I'm British and I only eat beans and curry, so I can't see any problem here.

Looks about right.
I bet only British tourists are shopping in this section. French people craving for beans are just eating cassoulet.
is it joint usa/uk food section?
Looking at both flags alternating repeatedly on every shelf I would assume yes.
All of that is uk other than the macaroni. Even the Indian curries are uk. That's like our speciality, not fish n chips
FYIW, that brand of "simmer sauce" is a staple in my US kitchen.
Jeez why so many cans? Is the country getting ready for war?
I regularly buy from the UK section of my supermarket. Brown sauce and lemon curd are necessities.

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.
Not even Branston beans. What a disgrace.
Yeah, what the fuck why is Mississippi Belle macaroni and cheese in the UK section?
