[edit] Germany- mac und cheese?

Hi. I hope I won't mess up this whole thing as this is my first try to edit anything on Wikipedia. The article says that Macaroni and cheese is known in Germany as mac und cheese. I, being German myself, have never heard anything like that- we have a dish we call 'Nudeln mit Käse' (pasta with cheese), which is kind of the same thing as macaroni and cheese I guess. However I've never heard anyone refer to it as mac und cheese. 88.130.66.198 (talk) 12:48, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I guess I'll just delete it... 88.130.81.138 (talk) 22:15, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't want to be annoying but shouldn't you give some kind of source if you claim 'Mac und Cheeze' is a German expression? I think it would be stupid to delete that sentence once again, but I really have never heard anybody call this dish Mac und Cheeze and I can't find something like that on the internet. Shouldn't you give SOME kind of evidence? 88.130.80.246 (talk) 22:27, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

I can find no source or reference to this name, so I am removing it - AKeen (talk) 04:38, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

The sentence was still there. Therefore I removed it. I also never heard of this expression (I' German too). Especially the transformation from the s to the z in cheese is very unlikely if not completely against the rules in the process of "germanizing" words or expressions.

[edit] Removed Recipes

I have removed a pair of recipes from this talk page. Not because I really mind a talk page having recipes, but because google searches [1] and [2] indicate that both are copied from the New York times. That's a copyright violation. Do not paste in content from other copyrighted sources. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 06:17, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

koonjabianoopi foldenas yopi!

I would like to point out that recipes cannot be ccopyrighted just for the record even though its old--69.146.158.34 (talk) 23:59, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

Can someone please upload a photo of real macaroni and cheese, not the Kraft stuff? This is like using a package of instant ramen for Noodle. Ham Pastrami 07:13, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] too much Kraft

i think this article talks too much about "kraft dinner", and needs to focus more on generic macaroni and cheese. it could also use some cleanup. Sahuagin 15:41, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Of course it is true that Kraft may have iconic status inCanada. However, my efforts to deal with the full range of commercially available Macaron cheese available in Britain have been removed.Perhaps they should be reinatsted?Harrypotter 07:41, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

"Purists"?? There's such thing as Mac N Cheese PURISTS?! LOL who wrote this retarded shit —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.89.137.252 (talk) 04:16, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Excuse me, I find your use of the word "retarded" to be hugely offensive, go and troll somewhere else, child. And don't swear on wikipedia talkpages. Zanusi 10:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Speaking of Kraft, I have heard the claim that Kraft's "Velveeta" processed cheese product was created in the 1950s as a food service product, to make it easier for restaurants to make cheese sauces and dishes like macaroni-n-cheese. Has anyone else heard this? Is there any truth to it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.224.242.249 (talk) 01:36, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Agree 100%. TFA presently reads like a Kraft advertisement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.105.223.181 (talk) 10:35, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Well then start discussing real, non-processed, non-kraft recipes for mac 'n' cheese. Did they exist before K.D. was invented? If so, where did they come from? That what an encylopdia is for, kids. However, Kraft Dinner is very successful brand, and also an iconic and extremely well name which is very commonly used to describe all forms of instant mac 'n' cheese. Therefore it needs to be discussed in the article. --76.67.196.45 (talk) 14:19, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Macaroni and Cheese is a Drug?

This article has a disambiguation notice pointing to Cheese (recreational drug). However, the article on the drug makes no reference to macaroni, and some quick Google searching turns up nothing relevant. So I've removed the notice. If someone has a source for mac and cheese as a drug, feel free to re-add it, but please also cite the source in the drug article. Electrolite (talk) 05:11, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

this is stupid cheese is not a drug whoever wrote this is crazy!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.24.114.67 (talk) 23:20, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Casserole?

I know the dish can be made as a casserole but is it really correct to call it a casserole when it is often made completly unlike a casserole maybe mentioning that as a way it can be made would be appropriate but I have only seen it as a caserole one or two times in the several hundred times I have eaten it and most recipes i find when looking for them are not casseroles--17:46, 18 October 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shimonnyman (talk • contribs)

[edit] Marco Polo myth

The article states that Marco Polo brought pasta from Asia to Italy. This is a myth. Marco Polo returned to Venice 1295 while there are written Venecian records of Pasta from several decades prior to that. It is however possible that the Chinese inveted pasta and that it came to the area via the old silk and spice trade route. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.227.230.17 (talk) 02:48, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
