I have never seen mac and cheese in a can before and I am honestly mildly disgusted.

They started making canned spaghetti carbonara now too
It's like they're trying to commit war crimes.
Nah, just preparing for war times
I imagine they're quite hard to do by accident

Canned anything with cheese tastes revolting from my experience.
I mean Philly cheese steaks are made with canned cheese wiz, and then there's salsa queso dip they sell in cans, and everyone loves that shit.
You can make that queso dip way better yourself in like 5 minutes, it's just a block of queso fresco (or white american), chop it up for faster melting, sodium citrate, milk, peppers, and seasoning. The sodium citrate is vital to keep it from getting grainy.

Ah, I was thinking of canned mac n cheese which I tried once and the several times I tried different canned soups containing cheese. It didn't taste like cheese and it wasn't tolerable for me. That said I have enjoyed canned queso dip.

Avoid at all costs. Bought one can for the novelty of feeling the same way. It is so much worse than you're imagining.
I can imagine fake chese custard and slight amounts of overcooked rubbery pasta.
Have you ever smelled some foam and had that give you a headache? Do you know that chemically smell?
If so, it tastes whole mouth like that but very concentrated.
There are also chunks but at the same time there is not discernable difference in texture or consistency. Just vague border regions that register montarily as the broad side of your tongue cuts through them like a razor.

You ought to be. It's a struggle meal, not because of the price but because you struggle to keep it down. The noodles feel simultaneously overcooked, limp and somehow grainy. The sauce is virtually flavorless except for a musky odor of nuclear cheese. The consistency of the sauce is like that of milk, and it does not adhere to the noodles. Your bowl will be a nice mix of cold, pallid noodle soup and boiling hot noodle soup.

As a brit id say blimey they got it spot on
Victoria would be proud to know her empire still provides for the people even now
In British supermarkets, they often don't even put the beans on shelves. Instead they have stacked palettes of them, because they need to restock so often it'd be inefficient to have to unpack and shelve them.
Marmite, Lea and Perrin's, Curry.
Yup, this is actually the UK section and not just the beans section
I was shocked to find out that Lea and Perrins wasn't from Louisiana. They use that stuff in everything in Cajun land
Tikka masala is English food no matter how Indian it seems
It was invented in Scotland, so it's British but not English.
Still can't understand how some people think England is synonymous with the entire United Kingdom, when in reality it's only a fraction of it.
Probably because it's the centerpiece of the whole UK?
Probably because it's the country that created Britain and the UK to begin with?
It's really not that confusing if you put even a little thought into it.

Royaume-Uni/USA
Angleterre/États-Unis
With the signs in two languages and the one trying to be in english (lulz) being smaller, where in Quebec is that?
Edit: Turns out it's in France, I don't think they would be importing French milk all the way to Quebec
Another clue it isn't Quebec is that Quebec wouldn't bother having a separate US section when the States are just a couple hours drive away.
Beautiful. This should be the national flag.
Canned Macaroni and Cheese?
Barbarians!
It comes out of a damn box!
I'm British and I only eat beans and curry, so I can't see any problem here.

Looks about right.
I bet only British tourists are shopping in this section. French people craving for beans are just eating cassoulet.
I regularly buy from the UK section of my supermarket. Brown sauce and lemon curd are necessities.

is it joint usa/uk food section?
Looking at both flags alternating repeatedly on every shelf I would assume yes.
All of that is uk other than the macaroni. Even the Indian curries are uk. That's like our speciality, not fish n chips

Jeez why so many cans? Is the country getting ready for war?
This is a Carrefour, right? I've quit shopping at Carrefour a while back. I find their selection getting steadily worse, their house brands quality very low, their price not competitive. Nowadays I shop at medium size chains, and most of non food online, trying to use Amazon as a last resort.
Yeah, Grand Frais is my usual now
I'm in Spain. I usually shop at Lidl, Aldi, or Mercadona, a large chain of medium size stores, generally well regarded, with a very good selection, and high quality house brands. Mercadona puts customer satisfaction first, and employee satisfaction second. This seems to be true as employee satisfaction is high, rotation low, and satisfaction levels of around 70%, which in this type of sector is very high. They also pay up to 150% of the median income for these types of jobs.
