I tried the "high protein/fiber Kraft Dinner" tonight because I had a bad day and figured it would be funny

Verdict:
- takes about twice as long to boil (13-14 minutes vs 7)
- they recommend 6 cups of water instead of 4 for some reason?
- there's a tiny bit more bite to the noodles
- tastes ever so slightly... dusty..?
- otherwise unremarkable

Ehhhh don't bother unless you're curious

@scruss it's wheat flour pasta as the base but with added pea protein. (I've tried red lentil rotini and Bulk Barn cheese powder as an ersatz KD, and though it tastes fine and ends up costing roughly the same - pocket lint and rusty washers - ...yeah, I know what you mean about the wind, the wind)

Ugh! Pea protein! Dog food!

Om amtrak i once (only) bought and instant oatmeal, turns out to have that shit in it. Gritty, sticky and clumpy, tasted just awful. Why did they think oatmeal needs protein?!

These overly processed foods are just terrible.

Garnish in your preferred style, of course

Goes without saying
