Macaroni Cheese is extremely popular in Scotland (like US Mac & Cheese).

In Scotland it's often eaten with tomato ketchup and chips. The Scots
often eat Cheese Macaroni Cheese pies too!

But who imported it where?

Did the Scots export this cuisine to the US, or was it the Italians?

Macaroni and cheese was invented by the third president of the United
States, Thomas Jefferson. It continues to be a favorite Presidential dish.

Isn't weird how the red headlines seem to be floating
in front of the background and the rest of the text.
I wonder how that works.

It's extremely dangerous to say someone invented such a dish.
There are precedents that go back at least as far as the
14th-century Forme of Cury!

I know the food purists will jeer, but one of my guilty pleasures - i.e.
comfort foods - is chili mac. I don't know where *that* macaroni dish
originated - probably on some turn-of-the century N. American homestead.

My family gets on a Macaroni and Cheese kick every once in awhile. I
have a couple grandkids, who are Mac and Cheese addicts, but they like
that awful stuff that comes in Kraft boxes. If I try to make my own
recipe from scratch, they will flat out tell me, they want their Mac
and Cheese "unmessed" with!

By all accounts Thomas Jefferson ate something very similar while in Italy.
He started having the the cooks at Monticello make it (he called it
"macaroni pie" probably because it was baked) and served it to many guests.

When did the proper "macaroni AND cheese" become "macaroni cheese?"
There is no such kind of cheese called "macaroni." This is one of
those things that just drives me nuts. Sorry.

Let's put the "and" back in "macaroni and cheese."

I agree, but Brits and Canadians seem to like to leave words out that
Americans include... They go to University instead of "The University" and
Hospital instead of "the hospital". At least we can still understand each
other!

We do? Canadians who go to university go to (a) university, as opposed to
other post secondary students who go to (a) college, There is a difference
between the two. We go to "the hospital". and BTW..... Out is pronounced out,
not oot., thought route rhymes with root.

But in your examples, here's where it gets crazy: Americans go "to
school," but "to the university," and "to the hospital." Makes no

Actually, Americans tend to say they're going "to college" or are "in
college" rather than "university." We rarely state that we are attending
a "university" or "the university" unless asked what college we go to
and it happens to "university" in it's name.

I attended two colleges in a university system. At neither time did I
say that I was attending the university, and in fact we were instructed
specifically that we were NOT attending a university.

I was taught phrasing like the following:

to the hospital
in the hospital
to school
at school
to college
in college
at the university
in the United States
to the United States
in the United Kingdom
to the United Kingdom
in Russia
to Russia
in Ukraine
to Ukraine

To some degree I understand the differentiation in the use of the article
"the". To another degree, I don't. :-)

At some point I remember beginning to hear people saying "in hospital". It
still sounds strange to me.

i usually dispense with either 'college' or 'university,' saying instead
something like 'when i was at school.' of course, some people, reflecting
on my barbarous aspect, assume i'm referring to reform school.

That's what I say, too. It's natural to assume people will know you're

Mac cheese is synonymous with 'college kids' and/or 'bachelors'.

Yes, when I make baked ziti and/or macaroni and cheese,
it includes a red sauce.

French people might include a white sauce instead.

In Canada, university and college are two different forms of post secondary
education. Colleges tend to be more career oriented, offering courses like
Computer Studies or Computer Engineering Technology. Hospitality and Tourism,
Mechanical Studies, Culinary Studies and various apprenticeships, and upon
completion you receive a diploma. University are more likely to have course in
the arts, sciences and social sciences and tend to emphasize research skills. Upon
graduation you are given a degree rather than a diploma.
