I like macalmenis and Kraft dinner.



I'm Canadian and Australian. My parents tell me that the Kraft company was founded by an Australian and a Canadian together. Australians like Kraft Vegemite and Canadians like Kraft Dinner. I like Kraft Dinner. I also like macalmenis.


(Footnote from the editor- Macalmenis is an extremely rare hybrid linguistics phenomenon. It is invented by children who have parents that make sure they speak their native English first. When Russian plurals such as "pelmeni" (a meat dumpling) are used in English they become "pelmenis". "Macalmenis" is a hybrid word from "macaroni" and "pelmenis".
Second footnote- The original company was called the "Kraft Walker Cheese Company". For some reason Vegemite was never tested on the Canadian public.)
