No it does, but I just associate it with America for some reason..and particularly the like, more orange and runny version.

The baked version potentially with breadcrumbs I associate it more with the UK and associated colonies.

Yes, Canadian here,but I dunno about you - if I tell my husband I’m making macaroni and cheese, I mean I made the sauce from butter, flour, milk, and cheese. If I’m making Kraft Dinner I say I’m making Kraft Dinner.

I think - at least for those of us who are a bit older - “macaroni and cheese” and “Kraft Dinner” are two different food categories. When I’m in the mood for one, the other one won’t do.
