At the very first post of mine, I've mentioned about cheese right? on how they are created as we know and its origin, yes, I think I'll be using that word very often when telling a piece of history when I decided to look back at our most favorable comfort food ever (⊙ꇴ⊙)
The Mac N Cheese as we know are most dynamic duo ever, telling on how this food become the most demanded and many generation has created their own unique version, yes after the story where Thomas Jefferson actually perfecting it making it their own style as we known as the default preset when cooking Mac N Cheese, like Kraft literally makes an instant version of it, but yeah its still taste good.
Well He did helped to make it more popular as we seen many amateur historian said, But its not just him Who deserved all the credit, as I said before that he once goes to Italy, dined on this dish of course, he love it so much, he brought back a pasta maker back with him to the United States, and actually served the dish at the White House in 1802, well this is where he's often get the credit for whose introduced the Mac N Cheese to the U.S. Then thing goes on as Mary Rudolph, who took over hostess duties at the White House when Jefferson's wife passed away, included a macaroni recipe that with Parmesan cheese in her 1824 cookbook, "The Virginia Housewife".
Travel fast forward to 1937, Kraft Foods introduced the Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Dinner at the the Great Depression, this where they shine. Called "the housewife's best friend, a nourishing one pot meal," it was a fast, filling and inexpensive way to feed a family. In that year alone, 8 million boxes were sold, of course the popularity of Kraft dinners then continues till today - source by Simmons
while original homemade recipes that includes pasta, butter or cream , then Parmesan cheese, American cooks often improvised like using other cheese like cheddar, Colby or more affordable processed cheese for someone who can't afford or choose the easy way.. Until this day it then became one of gourmet dish.
So yeah, actually no single inventor have lay claim to the super hit classic Macaroni and Cheese recipe, as I said, everyone has their own preference in tasting when it comes to something we and as happened to be other persons favorite either, but who to blame? none, because the comfort food goal is to bring warmth and comfort
