I’m starting to see why the majority of your posts on the food thread are takeaways. It's okay if you can't explain it, it was a silly statement to make from yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugster Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Just now, Mr. Alli said: It's okay if you can't explain it, it was a silly statement to make from yourself. Well no. Mince and chips are cooked separately and so form separate parts of a dish. Macaroni cheese is cooked together and forms one constituent part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottmcleanscontacts Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 And you'd be wrong.. and that's okay. You've got company. They're wrong too. I'm not though. And I've provided a further example of how one should refer to the tasty cheesy pasta dish by virtue of another dish which contains at least two parts but requires no 'and'. To clear it up, if the dish in question sees all its constituent parts become a single thing - Macaroni, Curry, Spaghetti etc then there's no requirement for 'and'. If, however, the constituent parts make up distinct parts of a meal, then that's all good: Steak and ChipsMince and TattiesMacaroni Cheese and Garlic Bread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 And you'd be wrong.. and that's okay. You've got company. They're wrong too. 'Macaroni and cheese' is an Americanism, and we all know that American naming conventions are best avoided. In these fair lands it's simply 'macaroni cheese'. Deal with it.
