We used it as a substitute for potatoes when we had some baked ham.
Maybe about 2-4 times a year. It was not a popular main food in
our household and still isn't. Yes, I'm in the USA and I haven't
had mac and cheese in Many years!!! Just thoughts but... maybe
it's for the lazy or tired or hurried cooks? Many people love the
stuff. I can do without it for another 10 to 20 years. Nobody in
my neighborhood (kids included) eat much mac & cheese.
