Why are we getting weird and territorial about cheese and pasta?
Because if we don't separate everything by race, how can we hate each other effectively? We must attempt to make people feel bad or excluded for our differences!
President’s Day
I maintain that Mac and Cheese is one of those foods that weirdly gets better the worse and more fake it is.
Ive had some gourmet shit and I always think "I miss the old Kraft one with the tinned cheese."
Good meme! (I have no clue what any of it means other than the dates)
Juneteenth celebrates the abolishment of slavery, I'd say people of colour are the most happy about that, and people of colour are stereotypically famous for making good food
4th of July celebrates the US independence, which though not a predominantly a white holiday more white people (on account of being a racial majority) will celebrate it, and white people are stereotypically famous for making bland food
This seems pretty dumb... I don't typically attribute amazing Mac and cheese to minorities.
Like... Most other foods, sure. But this one? Come now...
people of colour are stereotypically famous for making good food
The stereotype I always saw was just KFC, watermelon and some purple drink. Maybe it was a bit more aggressive stereotype than what you had in mind
Mac and cheese casserole is almost always inferior to the cheese sauce variety. The best versions meet in the middle, but I absolutely hate that eggy cheese quiche shit.
4th of July is only better for me because I don't get Juneteenth off even though I work in a school. Fucked it is!
This year was the first year I worked in an office that didn't recognize Juneteenth. Someone still found a way to complain about people expecting Juneteenth off work and blamed Zoomers for it becoming the norm like it's a bad thing
Gosh dang zoomers expecting nationally recognized holidays off, like this is the 20th century or something. Next they're going to expect clean water, and acceptable working conditions.
Same, I don't understand how schools can weasel their way out of federal holidays so easily lol.
Why are we comparing two unrelated holidays like this
As a European: why would you do that to food? Also is that even actual cheese?
Ah yes, the smug European that has no idea that macaroni and cheese originated in Italy in the 14th century, was extremely popular in England from the 18th century, and was introduced to the US via France.
And yes, it’s cheese. Probably cheddar. You start with a bechamel and incorporate cheese to make a mornay sauce. Combine the sauce with the pasta and serve.
No. Combine the sauce with pasta, put it in an oven proof dish and grate extra cheese on top. Put in the oven until the topping is browned and bubbling. Then serve. (Also, add a bit of mustard to the cheese sauce, it perks up the flavour.)
All you're doing is comparing southern style mac n cheese vs basic everyday fast mac n cheese. It's not even a race thing...
I don't get Juneteenth but I didn't have to, it doesn't affect me. Although personally I think the name is weird - it's definitely grammatically incorrect. But whatever, y'all have fun. I like Mac'n'cheese though.
I like flaming Hot Cheetos pasta
The Hague would like to know your location.
