If you have pasta in the kitchen and cheese in the fridge, then what could be better. Seems to be an interenational thing, although I do not remember once having eaten Mac and Cheese in England, but mum and dad were more into fish and chips. I don’t mind Mac and cheese, but not too much.
International? Pasta, yes. Cheese, yes. But not necessarily together as I pointed out in my colour post, linking to Wikipedia calling it typically English and American.

It is a matter of taste. It fills quite quickly and for me it has to be the right cheese and I have to be in the mood for it. I prefer a racletter – boiled potato with melted cheese slices eaten together with pickles. The whole problem with it is that the home smells of cheese afterwards for a whole day.

No, I am not really an asterix fan, but I am sure it is a good look at the Swiss from the outside in.

I do not care for Mac & Cheese at all. However my husband and my son do love it. So I force myself to make it and then make sure I have something else to eat. Hugs

I do not mind it,but cannot eat too much. It is appetising to see, but whenI begin to eat it I realise that it fills quite quickly.

Mac and cheese alerted me to the possibility I might be part Swiss! Aplermagaroni — just the way my grandma made it. I was shocked. I don’t make very good mac and cheese. I don’t know why. I have no idea how anyone could mess that up…

Alpler Macaroni is not something I ever make. Although Mr. Swiss is Swiss, he is not such a cheese fan and if I served him such a dish he would be searching for the salami or other such meat. I quite like it, pasta, potato pieces and cheese served with either apple sauce or fried onions. I am more for the fried onions, but as I never really cook it I never get around to trying it.

I love it, and I could make it instead of the crap mac and cheese I make but somehow, I don’t. I guess I’m afraid of wrecking it for myself forever. Also, it’s not so easy to get the right cheese here and impossible where I live. I can get it in Denver or Albuquerque (5 and 3 hours away)… Once in a blue moon there is Gruyere in the store in Alamosa.

Mac and cheese is not well known, or popularly eaten in the UK. Too many carbs and fat! It sounds like a very basic dish, too veggie for me. I would prefer some plain spaghetti cooked with herbs and garlic, with a tomato sauce, with a sprinkling of cheese. If I had to go veggie.

Tomorrow is spaghetti day – al sugo with mince and tomato. Last week had it with prawns. I do not care about carbs or fat, I am a butter cook and that just about cancels out being careful what I eat. I am supposed to be diabetic, but what I don’t measure I don’t know. My long term examinations are ok.
