Macaroni cheese on a roast!!!!!

[K2608]

Light hearted ....

Several of my friends are having macaroni cheese on a roast dinner..... is this the norm? Plastered all over social media.

I have heard of cauliflower cheese but never ever heard of macaroni cheese! I'm actually horrified and it looks disgusting! 😂

That sounds totally bizarre to me
And cauliflower cheese is only acceptable with roast ham not anything else!

I saw somewhere advertising macaroni cheese as a burger topping it’s a new one on me.
I guess it’s like a cauliflower cheese & bread sauce hybrid.

Is this not an American thing? They have macaroni cheese as a side dish.

Totally agree. Cheese should not be on any roast dinner.

This is not a roast dinner side.

HTH.

I don't know about on a roast dinner but it is common for West Indian people to have mac cheese with a roast dinner, especially Christmas turkey dinner.

I eat cauliflower cheese with anything.

Yes I think its an American thing that has made it to the UK

Toby Carvery added it to their regular line up.

Every time we've been to Toby Carvery they've had macaroni cheese in a dish sitting alongside the veg dishes

Not my cup of tea but would cook it if my guests wanted it. I find cauliflower cheese a bit unnecessary if I'm honest, but friends and family like it so I'll do that begrudgingly.

I was in an American diner place yesterday that had macaroni as a pizza topping

Macaroni cheese is amazing with everything

It sounds revolting

It seems to be considered a side to absolutely anything now.

It’s grim!

Pretty standard Jamaican Sunday lunch

I think it is usually on the table at photos of my USA family's Thanksgiving dinner. Can't be that traditional as I shouldn't think the Mayflower had a macaroni store on board.
But I suppose it might make a substitute for potato if guests didn't like them. Why anyone would dislike roast potatoes is beyond my ken.....

Macaroni cheese is lovely but not on a roast dinner!

I'd never heard of cauliflower cheese on a toast until I met DH.

I've made and served it but personally, I don't think cheesy sauce goes with gravy.

My husbands roast dinner as a child featured potato croquettes and cauliflower with a processed cheese slice on top

*roast

Urgh. No. Wrong.

Toby carvery has it as a side. My vegetarian dd1 was thrilled. Have to say, it went pretty well with my roast.

Ever since it started being known as mac 'n' cheese it seems to be everywhere!

YABU, macaroni cheese goes with everything!

Had this as a side with my Hawksmoor roast last weekend. The Kensington restaurant doesn’t do cauliflower cheese for some reason. Both work but I’ve only gone for macaroni in the absence of cauliflower cheese.
On a slight tangent I recently heard about macaroni pies which are apparently amazing.
