[Food] Why's everyone started saying "mac AND cheese" ?

[Blue Valkyrie]

Big Mac with extra cheese ?

 

[sjamesb3466]

And since when did macaroni cheese become a side dish FFS! It's hardly one of your five-a-day...

This all the way. Nobody would have a side of ravioli would they! No wonder we are all getting as fat as pigs!

Was having this discussion about 'Mac & Cheese' with the Mrs the other day and she simply couldn't grasp what the problem is. It will all end in divorce one day

I thought the thread was about Big Mac and cheese as I have never heard macaroni cheese referred to as that. I love Macaroni Cheese if it is made properly with strong cheese as wife insists that it isnt the quantity of the cheese that gives it the taste but the strength of the cheese used.

That would count most American cheese out then.

In footh I knoweth not whye peple must fubverte our quite quaintly langage. Verily it efcapeth me.

 

[darkwolf666]

This is the first time, I've ever read or heard of it.

Good, not just me then!

I've inadvertantly started doing that, no idea why, it was picked up on today

I do that too, I also say anywheres, it really annoys me! And I put 'so' in front of sentences. When I went to Ireland last year I noticed they put 'so' at the end ...

Me: So, where do I get a bus to Blah De Blah please?
Bus Info Person: Over there, so
Me: So, Can you I buy a ticket from you(s) or on the bus?
BIP: You can buy one on the bus, so
Me: Thank-you. So when does the bus leave?
BIP: In about tree minutes or so, so
BIP: I'll sell you a ticket so. The driver is a miserable fekking b'stard, so

It’s an American expression

I like Macaroni Cheese, but I've just remembered my childhood favourite pudding was Macaroni Custard. Did anyone else have that, or was it just my Mum being inventive in filling us up when times were hard? A nice little blob of strawberry jam in the middle for a touch of decadence. Lovely.

We used to have macaroni pudding which was macaroni (obviously) with milk and sugar. I never had it with custard.

Also saying grilled cheese instead of toasted cheese sandwich or cheese toastie.

that sounds good! I don't like jam though so I'd grate some dark chocolate over the top.

I'd completely forgotten about macaroni pudding. Seems quite unappealing to me now. http://www.greatbritishpuddings.com/sweet-puddings-recipes/macaroni-pudding

Mac ‘n’ tard? The best.

 

[Puppet Master]

Anyway I'm off to make some spag 'n' bol

 

[severnside gull]

American shite. I won't cook it.
Do a mean roasted cauliflower in a three cheese sauce though.

 

[KVLT]

It’ll be ’to walk’ soon.
Yanks love it.
