Wait. Italians claim Mac and cheese?
I always thought it was an American thing. Because Americans love pouring cheese over everything.
Thomas Jefferson was obsessed with Macaroni, and created the dish that modern day mac and cheese is based on. He served it at a ton of White House dinners. He also was the person responsible for shipping macaroni extruding machines from Italy to the US while he was a diplomat over there.
I think pasta is the victim here which still doesn't really track perfectly but it's a start lol
Pasta comes from China. Fuck what Italy thinks about it.
I'm well aware but its at least closer than mac n cheese
KD is Canadian, isn't it?
Seriously, why is one of the things that makes Canadians go "CANADA FUCK YEAAAA" the processed, prepackaged version of a British-invented, American-associated dish, that isn't legally allowed to be called what it's supposed to be in Canada?
Italy and France are the worst. They LOVE their protectionists pretentious screeching about how you're enjoying life wrong.
Japan was very cool with the hybrid food and traditions.
Japan loves to make hybrid food and I love seeing them!
I'm Italian and I would try this. Also, fudge those "purists" of Italian food: every family has it's own recipe for everything different from their neighbors', there's no or little historical documents about dishes still served and most "based" Italian food was invented by Italian emigrants coming back home with inspiration from where they were.
Cuisine is mixing and experimenting, tradition is the death of good food.
You're allowed to use bad words on the Internet
This seems like something you'd find in Hawaii
Spam musubi is one thing.
Putting this on the same level as spam musubi is an insult to spam musubi.
I think Japanese would be mildly amused and try it. Mac and cheese is certainly at least somewhat known here and I don't think most would even consider that sushi; just weird, room-temp cheesey macaroni salad wrapped in seaweed.
Mac'n'sushi
I thought the japanese dude was a dog.
Mett ontop would save them.
