I was curious because mac and cheese is offered as a vegetable choice
in some areas of the South. I don't know if being considered a
vegetable side choice is a result of the 'low-country' thing or not.
Uses of mac & cheese puzzle me. To me, mac & cheese is the main
course. To others it is another side dish in an expansive holiday
meal. Still others consider it a 'vegetable' side dish.
I don't get it. To me it is a rather humble way of putting a meal
together.
