[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never had mashed potatoes at a family dinner. We just don't eat that. Mac and cheese is what we do and I would never choose mashed potatoes over that. [/quote]
I hate to break it to you, but mashed potatoes are a staple food item in most countries around the world. Mac and cheese is not. Heck, most people around the world don't know what mac and cheese is. So, all in all, you must be from some red neck family and have no idea what normal families eat.[/quote]

You really need to travel. The US didn’t invent Mac and cheese. A version of this dish of pasta and cheese is served in many parts of Latin America and Europe. I ate it in Iceland!

Ha, ha. Traveled pp here. There is a version of it in my country, with young cheese and very little of it. You can bet you the version of fake cheese here is solely US invention. Nobody in Italy would ever eat this rubbish! In fact, it is the U.S. tradition to take a nice dish and then add and add and add crap to it until it is unhealthy and causes diabetes and clogged arteries. You know delish Mexican tacos? And then Tacos Americano? Yep, added cheese, sour creme and who knows what. Great bbq here, and then added sauce with sugar overload to it. I enjoy American food, don't get me wrong, but come on, bbq meat does not need sugar on it. Watch some of those youtube videos when Italian chefs watch how their traditional disehs, yes, pasta and cheese are made around the world, and they are appalled at  everything added. One chef even says, "adding butter, and creme, and cheese, are they hoping for a heart attack?"[/quote]
