The 29-Day Blogging Challenge: M is for Mac&Cheez
There was a slight delay in posting this entry… One, there was a technical glitch and I couldn’t get to the editor section. Two, had a bit of a mid-day distraction that proved just too good to pass up. Three, and most importantly, has to do with macaroni and cheese.
In the last entry (L is for Listerine) I mentioned Sweden’s apparent oversight in stocking that oh-so-wondrous concoction from our good friends at Kraft. Yellow Death, as it is affectionately known, is one of my favourite go-to meals in a pinch, but also just something I like. I do consider myself a ‘foodie’ – I love sampling regional fare, have very eclectic tastes, and enjoy learning (or experimenting) to cook all manner of grub. But every now and then I like to sit back with a simple bowl of KD, or a frozen pizza, or a Big Mac, and indulge in the simpler side of life.
Last night was one such night. We had picked up a few boxes of Sweden’s version of KD (made by Hospitality), and I decided to whip some up. To add a little flair, I also included some ground beef, peppers, chipotle sauce, garlic, and salt. Nothing but the best for my wife when I cook, dammit. Anyway, whilst making the KD itself (with no spice added) I set aside a few noodles. Why? To augment Baxter The Hedgehog’s dinner, of course. We do that often – apportion a small sampling as an extra ‘treat’ for the beast to cut the monotony of his usual fare, and to see what else he might like. In the last while he’s taken to shrimp, moose, mashed potatoes and gravy, turkey, meatballs… No doubt he is Sweden’s most varied gastronomist, hedgehog-wise of course.
So along with his normal dinner (Sheba gourmet kitten food, plus dried crunchy food) he had a few noodles. Turns out, he loves them – licked the bowl clean, in fact. Yes, we have a hedgehog that likes macaroni and cheese. Weird beast. He would never survive in the wild.

I know that during the 1980s, “hedgehog-flavour” crisps were introduced in Britain, although the product did not in fact contain any hedgehog
