Wow, what a remarkably confusing post.
Especially since most of the sandwiches are named after Jews, and I picked a Jew "for the win".
Thanks for clearing it up though.

So Wikipedia has a page called "common misconceptions", and I'm going to post the three /ck/ relevant sections.
Here's the first:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions#Food_and_cooking
Food and cooking
► Searing does not seal moisture in meat; in fact, it causes it to lose some moisture. Meat is seared to brown it, improving its color and flavor.[1]
► Twinkies (a brand of American snack cakes) have a shelf life of approximately 45 days[2] (25 in their original formulation)—far shorter than the common (and somewhat jocular) myth that Twinkies are edible for decades or longer.[3] They generally remain on a store shelf for only 7 to 10 days.[4]
► There are no known cases of children having been killed or seriously injured by poisoned candy or fruit given to them by strangers at Halloween or any other time, though there are cases where people have poisoned their own children.[5]
► Most food is edible long after its expiration date, with the exception of some perishables.[6]
► Seeds are not the spicy part of chili peppers. In fact, seeds contain a low amount of capsaicin, the component which induces the hot sensation in mammals. The highest concentration of capsaicin is located in the placental tissue (the pith) to which the seeds are attached.[7]
► Turkey meat is not particularly high in tryptophan, and does not cause more drowsiness than other foods.[8]
► Rice does not cause birds to die by inflating their stomachs until they burst. Birds do eat wild rice, though some species avoid it. This common misconception has often led to weddings using millet, confetti, or other materials to shower the newlyweds as they leave the ceremony, instead of traditionally throwing rice.[9][10]

>what do you add to macoroni and cheees to make it taste better
Opie, your post implies you're intending to use actual Kraft Mac and Cheese, then try to "put a new patch on an old coat".
Just make you own mac and cheese from scratch.
I prefer farfalle pasta, heavy whipping cream, and a mix of mostly soft cheese with some hard cheese. Cheddar, Havarti, Gruyere all work well especially mixing cheddar with a smokier cheese, along with some Romano, Asiago, or Parmesan.
Far better than anything from Kraft.
I like to mix in browned kielbasa and broccoli.
p.s. Your pic spells both "macaroni" and "cheese" correctly, but you somehow got both wrong.
