How strange is it to eat mac and cheese on Thanksgiving? Apparently pretty darn weird. I heard a coworker recently talk about how weird it is that us Southerners have mac and cheese for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was even stranger to her that we bake it. To her, mac and cheese consisted of Kraft's blue box special. She's from Ohio, and apparently the eating of mac and cheese on the holidays is a distinctly Southern affair.
It's even been on the 700 Club recently where, much to my horror, Pat Robinson called it a "black thing."But at this point, should anything Pat Robinson says phase us?
Nevertheless, it got me to thinking about how foods are eaten differently in different regions of our country. I automatically assumed that everyone had mac and cheese at Thanksgiving and Christmas. What else do I eat that is distinctly Southern? O_o
