/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Macaroni and cheese isn’t appropriate for every type of food, but if it’s something like a barbecue place or other similar establishment, it’s fine in my book.

LMAO!!!

Mac and cheese is my favorite food if you add bacon. The bacons saltieness and savoryness adds a whole lot to the cheese, especially if you make it with fancy cheeses

Congratulations, this is the worst thread I’ve ever seen on /ck/
Maybe you’ll get a few people riled up and you’ll chuckle to yourself behind your computer screen, enjoying your le epic master trole

t. macaroni and cheese with well done steak and ketchup eater

>ESPECIALLY as a side dish

Why though? Wouldn't it be more juvenile to order it as a main course and eat nothing but cheesy noodles for dinner? And isn't peach cobbler as a side even more juvenile? Where did you go to eat, the Kid Cuisine Cafe?

>>10495849
>HUR DURR HE EAT FOOD I THINK IS BASIC
This pleb doesn't drink all his calories like soyboy master race.

posting anything at all on 4chan ruins any point you might be trying to make. your point is probably applicable somewhere in the business world, but those people would never waste even the few moments it takes to post here. or maybe they would, how would i know?

mac and cheese is tasty

I like mac and cheese, it reminds me of my younger days.
Also, truffle mac and cheese is literally food for gods

>>10495896
There’s no point at all to anything that’s been posted in this thread. Especially your reply.

I love pasta

>>10495849
I really wonder how a restaurant can make a GOOD mac and cheese that's worth paying sit-down prices for

i see it a lot on Kitchen Nightmares, he orders one and then gordon slams it, but what the fuck did he expect? the recipe even calls for shitty processed cheese straight off, you know it's not gonna be any good. and that volume of cheese is never good to eat even when it is something decent, it's just too much.

I can understand the little boxes of pre-made stuff you find in cafes and grocers for like three bucks as a quick snack to go but who would go to a pub, see an array of burgers and pizza and poppers and other good food that's enough of a pain to make at home that you'd rather go to a restaurant, and then get literal KD?

>>10495849
How is peach cobbler even a side, what the fuck. I mean, that's a goddamn desert.

>>10495975

>>10496019
Fuck off you obsessed europoor. America is based. You can literally get whatever you fucking want as a side instead of being confined to potatoes and beans like british """""cuisine""""" is.

Thomas Jefferson served macaroni n cheese to his guests at the White House. If it's good enough for Jefferson it ought to be good enough for you.

What exactly makes a dish juvenile?
The composition?
The ingredients?
The typical age group associated with consumption of the particular dish?

By the way, if you pick any of those 3, I can easily debunk you.

>>10496314
You know just googling it would have been faster than making an ignorant reply.

>>10496320
>What exactly makes a dish juvenile?
easy to eat and easy on the stomach, typically played-with food (cheesy things especially because muh strands), very simple flavor profile, generally bland or erring towards sweet

>>10496336
don't forget easy to make

>>10495969
>the recipe even calls for shitty processed cheese straight off

What recipe calls for this? It sounds like you've never had good mac and cheese.

Here's how you do it. Make a mornay sauce using whatever cheeses you prefer, but choose good quality cheeses because they're the main element of the dish. In a casserole dish, combine the mornay sauce with cooked macaroni. Top with breadcrumbs and additional cheese, then bake.

>>10496314
It's history buddy.

https://www.monticello.org/site/research-and-collections/macaroni

>>10496352
>combine the mornay sauce with cooked macaroni. Top with breadcrumbs and additional cheese, then bake.
Yeah I've never seen a restaurant or household make mac n' cheese this way. It's always velveeta tossed on shitty noodles and served as-is.

>>10495849
>how dare they eat pasta with cheese
Everyone knows you can’t eat cheese together with pasta!

>>10496368
Really? That's extremely sad to hear.

>>10496368
>>I've never seen it that way so it's never done that way!

I've made it that way at home, maxe it that way professionally, and had it made for me that way. It's pretty common.

Do you think that noodles in cheese sauce came about only after the invention of velveeta?

>>10496381
I've seen a deep fried variation that's similar to what you're talking to, but have never ordered it from those places since I've seen others do it and it's still disturbingly yellow, and seems to basically be shitty KD style mac n cheese chilled to congeal, breaded, and deep fried to serve. It smells nor looks very appetizing.

The concept of a baked noodle dish isn't very foreign though but those usually end up more like shepherd's pie/pate chinois but with noodles instead of potato, with ground beef and veggies and shit mixed in. Still not great, imo. Still better than Literally KD or Literally Not KD Because It's Actually Real Cheddar But Still Basically KD

>>10496389
>Do you think that noodles in cheese sauce came about only after the invention of velveeta?
Yeah, actually, otherwise it'd be in a white sauce with grated cheese, or a baked casserole type thing. Cheese on boiled noodles is a horrendous mess that can be instantly improved by literally anything. Even just parmesan, you need some herbs and oil/butter on there as well otherwise it's just wet noodles and dry parmesan that never combine quite right.

>>10495849

So macaroni and cheese?

Disgusting.

>>10496336
>>10496351
>simplicity of a dish equates to being juvenile

>>10496408
Sounds good.

>>10496402
Now I'm curious. What region do you live in?

I bet that if you make mac and cheese using the mornay-then-bake method and include your personal favorite cheeses, you'll enjoy the dish for once. It is simple, but it's tasty and a classic for a reason.

You can also include additional ingredients like bacon, jalapenos, mustard, and whatever herbs and spices you like. However, using good quality, flavorful cheese is really the key. I always try to use the sharpest cheddar possible, along with some parmesan.

>>10496426
yes anon youve figured it out

now you know why a rare unseasoned steak with ketchup on it is considered juvenile meme trash

soyboy

>>10496414
Baked pasta dishes are pretty common. It's called al forno.

>>10496336
So if you make it spicy and complicated, it's acceptable mac n cheese?

>>10496428

>>10496445
yes, basically

sorry you cant handle anything more nuanced than Pull N Peel "cheese sticks"

>>10496458
nah man i love mac and cheese with the good shit

>>10496455
is that your diaper size?

>>10495849
what bothers me more is how is peach cobbler a side dish?
don't care about mac&cheese since it sucks anyways

>>10496433
Yet the same steak without ketchup is not juvenile. Shouldn't adding ketchup make it more complex and thus less juvenile? I think your system is flawed.

>>10496464
>talks about mac and cheese
>doesn't post mac and cheese
wew lad, that's some next level retardation

>>10496474
>Yet the same steak without ketchup is not juvenile.
dude what no the same steak without ketchup is even more childish, it's bland nonsense served to ""people"" who dont know better

>>10496477
sorry princess

>>10496488
still not mac and cheese, you can clearly see the mushrooms in both the pic and the filename

>>10496504
how is it not mac and cheese if it has an extra ingredient

>>10496519
thats not velveeta and macaroni thats some kind of actual food

>>10496368
So you've never eaten at a decent restaurant and every household you've been to (probably all of one) has been white trash.
Congratulations.

Man, I'm afraid the dipshit in this thread is going to hurt his back, having to move those fucking goalposts so much. Be careful, bud.

>>10496336
>typically played-with food (cheesy things especially because muh strands)
For very young children maybe. And they'll play with pretty much anything.
>very simple flavor profile
I guess you can say a basic mac and cheese is pretty much "just cheese" but even that would depend on what cheese(s) you use.
>generally bland
Again, that depends entirely on what ingredients you choose for your mac n cheese.
>erring towards sweet
Okay, what the FUCK kinda mac and cheese have you been eating? I was going to make fun of you and say you've literally only ever had Kraft but fucking hell I don't see how anyone would call them SWEET.

>>10496529
>a decent restaurant
i wont say i have but desu what self-respecting cook would put mac n cheese on a menu

it's like putting chicken tendies on there. it might be freshly made and shredded chicken breast breaded and baked to order but it's still fucking tendies

the only thing stopping it from being for children is sheer cost

>>10496572

I don't understand why katsu is such a popular thing. There's so much amazing japanese food, but katsu is just pretty mediocre fried chicken that doesn't even have the grease that makes fried chicken delicious. It's weird.

Best pasta dish I ever made was mac and cheese. I used gruyere, provolone and asiago for the cheese sauce, and mixed in chopped spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, and Italian sausage, and baked it all with an extra layer of asiago on top.

>>10496519
>how is something that's different not the same ?!
anon please
next you're going to tell me steak is the same thing as chicken, it's just a little different!

Hey Mom! I got attention on the internet!!!

>>10496471
>how is peach cobbler a side
What OP is not saying as he tries to belittle his dinner companion is that they were both eating at a crappy truck stop / diner. Peach cobbler and mac n cheese are both pretty standard for southern us diners...especially on what are often called Blue Plate Specials... you choose between one or two proteins...say fried chicken or pot roast. It often varies with the day of the week. Then you choose two sides. Common sides are mashed potatoes, baked potato, fries, mac n cheese, green beans, pinto beans, blackeyed peas, collard greens, fried squash & zucchini, broccoli casserole, creamed corn, pasta salad, potato salad, sweet potatoes and yes...peach cobbler. "Hun you wanna bisquit, roll, or cornbread with that?"

I prefer a mix of a sharp cheddar for flavor and a mozzarella for meltability.
