In case you were getting worried that our diet was made up mostly of KD, here is some homemade cranberry-rosemary bread that Maciek made:

Also, here is some baked brie topped with walnuts, cranberries and honey:

The brie, walnuts, and crackers were sourced from Fort Simpson.

The wine was sourced from Norman Wells.

The honey was sourced from Vancouver.

The cranberries were picked locally.

A famous Canadian band claimed that if they had a million dollars they’d eat even more “Kraft Dinner”. I decided to discover what all the fuss was about.

 

It turns out Kraft Dinner (or, KD, as people as prepared for the Canadianship exam as I am call it) is instant Ramen northern-style. The differences:

• Cheapest possible Italian-style pasta noodles instead of cheapest possible Asian-style ramen noodles.
• The instructions say very specifically to microwave it in HOT (their emphasis) water rather than boiling.
• Instead of MSG seasoning, you get creamy cheese seasoning. To be clear: the creamy part comes from the milk and butter that you yourself add; the cheesy part is… well… You know those individually wrapped slices of plasticy cheese that you can buy (but shouldn’t)? You know, the ones that sort of taste like cheese but mostly taste like weird tangy chemicals? Well, if you distill out just that chemical part and turn it into a powder you’ve got the KD cheese packet!

As for the flavour? My official position as a new half-Canadian is that KD is delicious and I would eat more of it if I had a million dollars.
