Mark the calendar! Not sure if you
know, but National Mac and Cheese Day is fast approaching, on July 14. Can there be anything more delicious and photogenic?
With some quick
digging, Tightwad discovered that the history of this national day is really
the history of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, aka Kraft Dinner (KD) in Canada. While
it seems simple and even obvious today, the dish was actually considered fairly
innovative in its time and began a tradition of ready-to-prepare foods. KD was
created in response to the Great Depression, during a scarcity of protein and
dairy products. One of their salesmen began attaching packages of grated cheese
to boxes of pasta. In part due to the conditions of its release, it became very
successful. James Lewis Kraft patented a method of processing cheese that gave
KD its unique colour and has served as a signature trait of the product ever
since.
