We do add various cheeses to our pasta and it tastes good. It’s usually just a quick and easy meal but it’s nothing special.
Not sure how mac and cheese (not the box stuff) could be much different. Although, I’ve never had a meal that would be specifically called mac and cheese.
He’s right though.
Mac & cheese really is unimpressive. Spaghetti Carbonara is way better, even with inaccurate ingredients (e.g. using bacon instead of guanciale or even pancetta).
Though if you do insist on making it 'Murican style, try melting the cheese into a bechamel sauce and adding some diced ham or cubed bacon. The former makes it way creamier, even if it ends up standing for a while, and the latter just adds some neat flavour and texture. Stick with ham and/or bacon, or maybe very few other things, otherwise it stops being mac & cheese imo.
I saw a story once of someone who asked internet strangers whether they were the asshole because they hated someone’s mac & cheese. When they described what went into the stuff, it was full of added things, a quarter of which would already stop it from being mac & cheese, and half of which either conflict with each other, or are stuff which if they were the sole additive would give me a reason to nope out of the dish.
With both mac & cheese and spaghetti carbonara, I’d say less is more.
Max and cheese has two ingredients. Good, quality cheese melted into fresh macaroni.
I challenge anyone to dislike that, with a good fresh salad (I like a chopped salad with a drizzle of oil and balsamic with a sprinkle of salt). The great thing is - there’s a cheese for everyone (except lactose intolerant, and what a shame for them) so this works on so many levels.
I’m criticizng fucking mac and cheese and nobody can stop m… Grrrhhh… Damn it!
I had always disabled chat in RL. Nothing good really ever came through it.
There’s too much toxicity in RL these days.
Well deserved.
I find that context is everything… so it depends where they were eating it from.
honestly this stands.
You deserved it. Whoever you are.
Yeah, justified.
they have a point and they shouldn’t be asked to apologize for it
Blocked and reported
That’s a soft take…
*clears throat*
macaroni and cheese utterly disgusting, nothing about it is appetising, the consistency of it is remarkably similar to the consistency of sewage, it smells like concentrated foot sweat and I dont know how it takes an amazing tasting product like cheese and turns it into the this horrifically vile tasting slop, but that right there is proof of Satan’s existence.
I have ALWAYS hated mac and cheese. Anyone I’ve ever told this to is like “hOw CaN yOu NoT lIkE MaC aNd ChEeSe!!?? It’S aMaZiNg!!” I’m sure my dog thinks dogfood is amazing. But you don’t see me eating it.
Wait…are you living in a society of humanoid dogs?
My favourite line is " ohh you haven’t tried mine yet!" No I haven’t and its because I hate Mac and cheese!
It’s alright. Sometimes. I have a personal mission to try many versions of various things, and Mac & cheese is one of those dishes where everybody has their own special way of doing it. Even if it’s just a box of Kraft, nearly everyone has their own way of preparing it.
Nearly every homemade Mac n cheese I’ve had is edible but not enjoyable.
i like to add cheese to mine and it makes it super creamy and tasty i also dont buy Krap brand.
You are entitled to your incorrect opinion.
I love that your username is just “dumbass”
Cheers! I thought it cut right to the point of who people are interacting with and hopefully they don’t take me too seriously when I say dumbass things.
I understand

If you’re talking about the box, understandable. If you’re talking about actual mac and cheese, maybe you just don’t know anyone who knows how to cook.
Ah yes, the culinary skill needed for making macaroni with cheese
That’s kind of my point…if you can’t manage a decent mac and cheese, you pretty much can’t cook at all.
I just don’t feel like there’s any cooking skill involved in making macaroni and cheese to begin with lol
Well, I mean, I can think of several different variations of a stovetop version (bechamel, the sodium citrate, or the condensed milk version that’s been gaining popularity), a question of whether to bake it or not, endless add-ins, choices of cheese to use, choice of pasta to use. Making a bechamel without lumps is not hard but it does require some knowledge of basic technique. And it is actually conceivable that someone would use fresh pasta, which is a whole different ballgame. So while macaroni and cheese in its most basic is not at all a difficult dish it leaves tons of room for putting a personal spin on it…which means it has plenty of ways it can go wrong, too. I’ve certainly had plenty of disappointing mac and cheese in my life, sometimes at restaurants that really should be able to do better.
…you’ve ordered macaroni and cheese at a restaurant?
do you… think restaurants don’t have macaroni and cheese?
They don’t where I live. It just doesn’t seem like a restaurant-y thing to me.
Yeah? Fancy baked mac and cheese isn’t uncommon at all, sometimes dressed up with stuff like lobster and truffle oil, or sometimes as some sort of baked Wisconsin three cheese deal with crispy bread crumbs. Or it’s a staple side at BBQ restaurants, and a lot of people people will judge a place harshly on its quality. I’ve also seen a lot of fried mac and cheese wedges on pub menus (which I do not recommend, just fill your wedges with cheese instead, the extra carbs add nothing).
Go to Applebee’s and order Four-Cheese Mac & Cheese with honey pepper chicken tenders. The chicken tenders are excellent but the Mac and Cheese is the most watery garbage I’ve ever eaten. Then you will understand the true skill of making delicious Mac and Cheese.
You’d be surprised There is a definite difference between Mac and cheese from someone who can cook vs someone who can’t
Ofcourse you can mess up the basic like the milk and butter ratio and for more advanced stuff you can always have add ins like more cheese or some seasoning
Hell have you ever had Mac and cheese with some caramelized onions. Idk if I’m crazy for that but damn it’s good
The sound is the best
it’s empty calories
Who says Macoroni?

You apparently ?
Are you from a reality that pronounces parmesan parmeesian, by any chance?
