I have been up and down a few posts concerning this and have yet to find (maybe i missed a couple) anyone who has tried this and reported back.

I am beginning to think that this was just some housewives joke on the internet.

“You know what, this should really rattle some budgies if i just say i add a few raisins. oooo I am such a devil” and little did she know just how well it worked.

On a basis of raisins and cheese whiz being good, I think it might have a little bit of charm.

banneryear1868,

Yeah that would make sense, it’s such a grandma prank to put “flies” in the food teehee

I’m convinced this is what happened with Water Cereal on Reddit a few years back

ZoopZeZoop,

I’ve made water cereal, but it started as an accident, which I then had to live with because there was no more cereal left. I’ve also switched milk and orange juice, which I tried, but did not continue on with.

Toes,

🍍+🍕=Yum

Blubber28,

It really is

grayman,

I’m allergic to pineapple. I put habenero hot sauce on my mac. There’s zero chance I’m adding raisins.

arefx,

Both sound just awful

Calm down, 'Muricans. We didn’t lose our shit when you replaced the Spatzen in Kässpatzen with Macaroni and the cheese in Kässpatzen with fatty, gloopy cheddar “sauce”. You can bear this one.

We're dumb and very deserving of ridicule, but let me correct you anyway.

Macaroni and Cheese was introduced to the US by James Hemings, a man enslaved by Thomas Jefferson (our 3rd president), after returning from Italy, where he learned how to do pasta stuff because Tommy just loved noods.

So, yeah. Slavery.

Starshader,

Don’t be so mean, they do not have access to quality food.

Interesting. Mac and cheese, it seems, evolved from the pasta and cheese casserole dishes of Italy and England popular around the 14th and 15th century. While kasspatzen seems to have originated from around the areas of southern Germany with no mention of it as a dish until about the 1700’s.

Curious that.

norgur,
@norgur@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

First of all: Don’t you think Kässpatzen “evolved from” something, too? Like… both are “cooked dough stuff with cheese”

And secondly: your argument is not the counter you might think it is. The core of my argument was that Mac and Cheese are a downgrade to the food it came from. It doesn’t matter, if the origins are in Italy or Germany, the argument stands. Slopping fat with cheese flavor on pasta is nothing one could claim any culinary high ground with

And lastly: we all agree that this is some light hearted, friendly banter here, and not some patriotic conflict about cultural superiority, right?

mriormro,
@mriormro@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah sure, I don’t care. But the Italians in the other room might lose their shit if they find out the Germans ruined their casserole with unholy German egg noodles.

PsychedSy,

Dried egg noodles are the true crime.

HotDogFingies,

I love dried egg noodles. Please, sir, can I have some more?

PsychedSy,

Dude raemes egg noods are the best.

    ricecake,

    Do you ever call it a peach-a? Because you better.

    I would worry that peach slices that big would get too watery. I think that pineapple, tomato slices and peppers only work when they’re small enough that they don’t make a little moisture pocket around them.

    Shieldtoad,

    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.

    Depends on the region and sometimes ethnicity.

    It’s actually considered cruel to have the white guy bring the mac to a black cookout because he’s likely going to get roasted for it.

    cm0002,

    Yea we put ham too, sometimes spam, sometimes bacon. It’s really versatile tbh. We even have other variations like Cheeseburger Macaroni that nearly crosses the line into its own dish.

    But, I have never EVER heard of raisins going into it before and it sounds disgusting.

    droans, (edited )

    If done well, buffalo chicken mac and cheese is great, too.

    Unfortunately most restaurants do a garbage job with it. They just add the chicken and hot sauce into the mac and cheese and let it sit in a pan until someone orders it. This needs to be made fresh when it’s ordered or it just turns into mediocre mush.

    They all always screw up buffalo chicken dip, too. That’s even worse because it’s so easy to make right.

    • Rotisserie chicken
    • Hot sauce, half a cup to a full cup depending on what you like
    • Block of cream cheese
    • Bag of sharp cheddar.
    • Packet of ranch seasoning. Don’t use ranch dressing, it’ll make it too watery.
    • If you like blue cheese, grab a small block or, if you’re lazy, grab a little container.

    Use two forks to shred up all the breast meat on the rotisserie. Make the shreds varying in consistency - some should be very fine, some should be normal shredded chicken, some should be little chunks.

    Slice the cream cheese into small strips. If you’re using a block of blue cheese, remove the rind and crumble it. I like to use a knife for this because it’s quicker.

    Grab a large pan. Throw the chicken and hot sauce in. Set it to medium and mix. When it starts simmering, add everything but the blue cheese. Mix it up until it’s all melted and combined. If you have blue cheese, add it now and keep mixing until you’re happy with it.

    Turn off the stove. It’s ready now and you’re about to have some fantastic fucking buffalo chicken dip.

    OZFive,

    Well I know what I’m making this weekend! Thanks.

    Cloaca,

    My family (New Hampshire) typically add smoked cherry tomatoes to our mac and cheese.

    Mostly an add in of one protein and one vegetable. When more items get added we just switch to the dish being a pasta or a casserole.

    I will say that raisins make a great addition to a curried meatloaf.

    get_off_the_phone,

    Tuna and peas in my mac and cheese, please!

    Sabre363,

    This sounds fucking disgusting, I’d rather have the raisins.

    HotDogFingies,
    @HotDogFingies@kbin.social avatar

    Growing up poor is fun. Very similar to what we called tuna casserole.

    1. Box of elbow macaroni, cooked
    2. Can of cream of mushroom soup
    3. Can of tuna, drained
    4. Can of peas, drained

    Dump. Mix. Consume.

    I'm still poor, but I don't eat that shit.

    Sabre363,

    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.

    HotDogFingies,
    @HotDogFingies@kbin.social avatar

    Peas suck

    get_off_the_phone,

    Peas in my mouth please

    scottywh,

    Odd Todd certainly loved that recipe (and probably still does).

    AngryCommieKender,

    Traditional American Mac and Cheese is a dish that consist of macaroni noodles that have been baked in a bechamel based cheese sauce and topped with bread crumbs.

    If we put anything else in it, we tell you, just as you do with the addition of ham to the name.

    stolid_agnostic,

    In my observation, if it comes from a box, it’ll be simple. If it’s made from scratch then people go more gourmet.

    gentooer,

    I’ve never heard of macaroni met hesp, where are you from?

    Pineapple on pizza is only weird cause we pair it with Canadian Bacon.

    Try Pinepple, Bacon, and Jalapeño. I call it PBJ pizza. Gets a real weird look when I only call it that haha

    Some guy in the original thread said he’d try the Mac and raises on livestream. Excited to see how it works out

    Starshader,

    When you will die, you will have to spend at least one week in an Italian hell, where you will be forced to learn how to cook a proper pizza with a Napolitan Nonna.

    BluJay320,
    @BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    Alright, you got me. I’m gonna try it.

    ryry1985,

    I actually prefer something that will piss off the Italians AND the Germans: pineapple, sauerkraut, and canadian bacon pizza

    Someone,

    Hey don’t call that thick cut ham crap Canadian or bacon. We eat regular bacon up here. Ham sucks.

    scottywh,

    Ham is good., It doesn’t belong on pizza though

    scottywh,

    That has been my go to pizza for like… 30+ years…

    It’s so good.

    Colour_me_triggered,

    Imsorrywhatnow?!

    JokeDeity,

    “Pizza Hawaii” . Where the fuck are you from?

    TryingToEscapeTarkov,

    I learned a food hack where you can make your pizza on top of a pineapple so its technically not a topping.
