Calm down, 'Muricans. We didn’t lose our shit when you replaced the Spatzen in Kässpatzen with Macaroni and the cheese in Kässpatzen with fatty, gloopy cheddar “sauce”. You can bear this one.
Interesting. Mac and cheese, it seems, evolved from the pasta and cheese casserole dishes of Italy and England popular around the 14th and 15th century. While kasspatzen seems to have originated from around the areas of southern Germany with no mention of it as a dish until about the 1700’s.
First of all: Don’t you think Kässpatzen “evolved from” something, too? Like… both are “cooked dough stuff with cheese”
And secondly: your argument is not the counter you might think it is. The core of my argument was that Mac and Cheese are a downgrade to the food it came from. It doesn’t matter, if the origins are in Italy or Germany, the argument stands. Slopping fat with cheese flavor on pasta is nothing one could claim any culinary high ground with
And lastly: we all agree that this is some light hearted, friendly banter here, and not some patriotic conflict about cultural superiority, right?
Yeah sure, I don’t care. But the Italians in the other room might lose their shit if they find out the Germans ruined their casserole with unholy German egg noodles.
We’re dumb and very deserving of ridicule, but let me correct you anyway.
Macaroni and Cheese was introduced to the US by James Hemings, a man enslaved by Thomas Jefferson (our 3rd president), after returning from Italy, where he learned how to do pasta stuff because Tommy just loved noods.

Dried egg noodles are the true crime.

So, yeah. Slavery.
Don’t be so mean, they do not have access to quality food.
