And, to set the record straight, I do enjoy pizza hawaii
When Americans make Mac and cheese does it usually only contain macaroni and cheese? Or do they add other things?
Here in Belgium we call it macaroni with ham and cheese because we put pieces of ham in it.
Tuna and peas in my mac and cheese, please!
This sounds fucking disgusting, I’d rather have the raisins.
Growing up poor is fun. Very similar to what we called tuna casserole.
- Box of elbow macaroni, cooked
- Can of cream of mushroom soup
- Can of tuna, drained
- Can of peas, drained
Dump. Mix. Consume.
I’m still poor, but I don’t eat that shit.
I grew up poor as well, and tuna casserole was a very common meal. But, the peas are an abomination.
Actually, now that I think about it, that might be why I hate peas so much.
Peas suck
Peas in my mouth please
Raisins? Pff. Never heard of that. Frozen green peas though? That’s where it’s at for the boxed Mac and cheese.
I hate raisins either way but I love love love sauteed onions with my mac n cheese.
Onions makes sense though as cheese, onions and pasta are a normal combination but raisins?
Apples and cheddar? Pear and brie? Peaches and balsamic?
Sweet + tangy + savory is an incredibly popular combination, so Mac and cheese + raisins isn’t all that unusual.
Also it’s subjective. You don’t have to like it, but it shouldn’t be surprising that other people do.
Sweet and tangy with the presence of acids and moisture from the fruit are a good combo but guess what raisins don’t have?
You ever have a charcuterie board? Dried fruit and cheese are staples there, and neither are particularly moist.
I’ll say it again, it’s ok to not like a particular thing, but you shouldn’t be surprised when someone else does. Everyone’s tastes are different.
Fair, didn’t think of charcuterie.
