Cook the Book: 'Ten'
I was living in England (London) and I was dying for American food. I was in college so this meant Mac and Cheese in the blue box. (I know better now.)
Anyway, I tried all the british versions and they kinda sucked. They were probably better for me but they weren't what I wanted. A group of us had tea at Harrods one day (overpriced and lousy tea) and I went walking around. I went into the international food section and low and behold The BLUE BOX!!! I was so excited I spent what money I had to buy it. I went back to my flat where I was living with a British family.
My British mum saw the Harrods bags and got all excited. Finally her American exchange student was getting into the properly British way of doing things. When I pulled out four blue boxes she laughed until she was purple in the face. I can still hear her saying the following (insert British accent) "Some people go to Harrods and get clothes. Others get jewels. Our boarder goes to Harrods and comes back with sacks full of KRAFT Macaroni and Cheese!!!!!"
My favorite food memory.
Serious Cheese: Super Bowl Beer and Cheese Fondue
One thing, for dippers, you might want to make soft pretzels and dip them into the fondue. We did this last super bowl and it was mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Last bite on earth:
My mom is and was a gourmet cook even when we were growing up. Other kids ate stuff like meatloaf--we ate Swedish meatballs. My favorite food memory from when I was little was when mom made Chicken Kiev.
She wasn't able to make the chicken stay around the garlic-butter fingers. So she used white thread. I think she hoped that it would melt into the chicken, but it didn't. My brother and I made a game out of who could get the most chicken out without cutting the thread
