I’ll take both
Why are we getting weird and territorial about cheese and pasta?
Because if we don’t separate everything by race, how can we hate each other effectively? We must attempt to make people feel bad or excluded for our differences!
Because it’s Lemmy
Forget it Jake, it’s
ChinatownLemmyJust got around to watching this movie for the first time, real happy ending.
Yeah man, both at fine. I’ve had some great 4-cheese homemade mac’n cheese that doesn’t turn out too dry, but that seems to be the rarity.
How else can we keep racism thriving?
Yeah why are white people in this thread so goddamn triggered over what they claim to love?
I’ve never met a white woman who wouldnt say the stuff on the right is the best she’s ever had but had never had the the stuff on the left.
President’s Day
I maintain that Mac and Cheese is one of those foods that weirdly gets better the worse and more fake it is.
Ive had some gourmet shit and I always think “I miss the old Kraft one with the tinned cheese.”
I enjoy White Castle every once in a while. I tried their new 1929 or whatever its called burger. Its actually a pretty good burger but I decided that when I go to White Castle, I just want a standard slider with cheese with ketchup and onions.
Cause you’re tasting that sweet, sweet nostalgia.
I’d bet if you gave someone that’s never had Mac and cheese before Kraft Mac vs a good gourmet Mac, the gourmet will win by an absolute landslide.
Cheap Mac and cheese isn’t good because it’s good… It’s good because of the old memories attached to it.
Nah, thats not it.
The gourmet stuff just seems to be missing the whole point for me, not saying its bad Ive had some that were really good but they just seem to be missing the point. Its never going to be good for me nutritionally speaking, its not going to be served at a michellin star restaraunt. It’s Macaroni and Cheese. It’s like corn chips, I’m not saying that the gourmet Deli ones are bad, but they arent Doritos. That orange powder is delicious because it’s fake and engineered. I wouldnt make Nachos with Doritos but if your after that “Cheez” its whats right.
Counterpoint:
Trash macs and cheese are really good, and there are some amazing high-effort recipes.
It’s all the stuff in the middle that forms an uncanny valley that isn’t any good.
I do love the hot Chetto flavored Mac and cheese
I’ve had a box in my cabinet for a couple weeks, gonna make it now thanks to you.
Good meme! (I have no clue what any of it means other than the dates)
Juneteenth celebrates the abolishment of slavery, I’d say people of colour are the most happy about that, and people of colour are stereotypically famous for making good food
4th of July celebrates the US independence, which though not a predominantly a white holiday more white people (on account of being a racial majority) will celebrate it, and white people are stereotypically famous for making bland food
This seems pretty dumb… I don’t typically attribute amazing Mac and cheese to minorities.
Like… Most other foods, sure. But this one? Come now…
I don’t think the meme itself is making that particular distinction, moreso just the difference in cuisine in general as a racial stereotype.
people of colour are stereotypically famous for making good food
The stereotype I always saw was just KFC, watermelon and some purple drink. Maybe it was a bit more aggressive stereotype than what you had in mind
You aren’t invited to the cookout
I’ll just order it to-go
White => English
All whole people from anywhere else is proud of their food
as both Juneteenth and the 4th of July are American holidays, I referred to American stereotypes about Americans
Independence day == shitty
Junteenth == based
It’s dumb.
I assumed it was: “typical black family Mac and cheese” (baked, delicious)
“typical average American Mac and cheese” (not baked, more saucy, delicious)
Mac and cheese casserole is almost always inferior to the cheese sauce variety. The best versions meet in the middle, but I absolutely hate that eggy cheese quiche shit.
Macaroni amd cheese is nothing but kmart Carbonara.
If my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike
If wishes were horses, then you’d be able to use a metaphor properly.
Not every joke is a homerun, but if you don’t roll the dice, you’ll never get a bullseye
4th of July is only better for me because I don’t get Juneteenth off even though I work in a school. Fucked it is!
Same, I don’t understand how schools can weasel their way out of federal holidays so easily lol.
Shouldn’t you be out for summer break by now?
My kids finished today. A couple towns over finished last week. I don’t know how they decide this shit.
Just in time for the days to start getting shorter.
Why are we comparing two unrelated holidays like this
You realize that you’re talking about southern food right? As in not exclusively black?
This. OP probably has an antifa flag and speaks on behalf of Black America.
And he’s anglo as anglo can be.
Southern food is great because Southern white people have a different set of culinary influences than northern white people. I don’t know what that influence might be, but it must’ve been huge.
French, Scottish, native American, and west African.
My wife is white southern and is passionate about black culture Mac n cheese
Does she have a cast iron skillet that she only uses for corn bread?
Man there’s Canadians that have that.
Truth, I’m Scottish and have that. But… The cornbread made in it is always savoury. Never sweet.
This is true for US southerners. Man they HATE sweet cornbread.
Really varies on where you go and who you talk to. It’s not a universal thing.
That’s weird… Living in the South for half of my life, every place, including grocery stores, sells some deliciously sweet ass corn bread. But in California, Washington, Oregon, even Michigan? Nope… it’s just slightly sweet and a different texture.
That’s because it’s trash.
There really is something to that, the non stick surface you can get if you never introduce acid or meat. Used mayonnaise to season a dutch oven and fry pan over time after seeing what mayonnaise slathered bread used to make grilled cheese sandwiches did over time to a flat top. The dutch ovens for rye bread, skillet for corn.
Liar liar pants on fire. This is not a, “black culture mac n cheese”. This is straight up southern style mac n’ cheese.
Uh… wut? I’m from the west coast but since I’m military and met my wife on the south
Apt user name 😂
I fisted your dad.
All you’re doing is comparing southern style mac n cheese vs basic everyday fast mac n cheese. It’s not even a race thing…
Yeah I don’t understand what the point of this post is. Maybe they just like Juneteenth better as a holiday?
I cannot speak to macaroni pie directly, but you’d be surprised by how many things considered Southern are straight out of Africa for reasons that should be obvious.
Pretty much every culture that has some form of cheese and processed grain has mixed them together and bake it apparently lol. I wanna try and make pastitsio now
That may be true, but I’m only talking about Southern style mac n’ cheese.
I like flaming Hot Cheetos pasta
Oh baby
-
Is that a real thing or a joke I’m too European to get?
-
Where can I get this if it’s real?
-
Where can I just get Flamin’ Hot Cheetos? Because they don’t sell the damn thing in my country :(
Yours sincerely,
flaming anus enjoyer

The Hague would like to know your location.
Jesus christ kill this one with fire
Is this the origin story for Flamin’ Hot Mac and Cheese?
Mmmm, cheese leather…
What if cheese, but it was brittle and sharp?
Umm, yummy tbh, but that sounds a few steps beyond leathery. I don’t usually associate “brittle” and “sharp” with “leather”. “Chewy” totally. “Tough”, maybe.
Aaaaaaaah
I don’t get Juneteenth but I didn’t have to, it doesn’t affect me. Although personally I think the name is weird - it’s definitely grammatically incorrect. But whatever, y’all have fun. I like Mac’n’cheese though.
It’s just the “Nine” in nineteenth (a word that only has long vowels) replaced with June. June 19th turned into a single word. It specifically celebrates the day slavery was abolished in Texas.
deleted by creator
That is a good point. I guess they should deal with the holiday like Halloween or Christmas, celebrate it when everyone else does.
It’s a celebration of freedom? What’s there to get?
My only gripe is I can never remember the number, and there are several teenths. I’m bad with dates. July 4th is idiot proof.
Damn Juneteenf sucks
Both of those look disgusting. And I like Mac n Cheese.
Cheesy Mac ( the microwave shit) is not Mac n cheese
Mac and cheese is all macaroni cheese pasta.
I don’t think I’ve ever eaten microwaved Mac and cheese, don’t wish to try. If that’s what those photos are, then obviously disgusting.
