Yessssss, it pisses me off when they say apple pie is theirs the earliest recipe was from the UK in the 14th centuryðŸ˜also Happy birthday and I hope ur ribs feel better soon😅
Thats a big one. But the fact that macaroni and cheese is one of ours as well sends them frothing. No. Its for once, not the Italians. That specific recipe was us. Thomas Jefferson had it during a visit and brought it over (not messing with you that's actually what happened)
Yes absolutely frothing at the mouth angry, a very real thing.
This is extremely stupid. Â It's the equivalent of implying pasta isn't Italian or fish and chips or curry isn't British (or eating American beans on toast). Â It's not implying invention or a monopoly on the idea. Â In the colonial period people in New England would eat apple pie for nearly every meal.
The irony here in context is also that mac and cheese mostly became a thing because of WW2.  Kraft dinner / Velveeta / whatever the branding was back then was a special treat.  It was rare to get any sort of dairy during the war so it became a food people ate for celebrations, and that stuck around as a kind of Sunday roast sort of tradition.  You are correct on the provenance but macaroni was a haute food until industrial production.Â
lmao. Â It was terribly hard to deal with the shame at first but after years of therapy I did learn to face the fact that medieval Brits sometimes put apples in pastry.
