whos eating mac and cheese and watching this at the same time
Chris Barrett yaaas man
We beat the system
It tastes so good!!
and crying.
Me!!
"A single box could serve a family of four," OK EPICURIOUS, I DIDN'T COME HERE TO BE ATTACKED.
I think the same thing as I am eating 2 boxes of the stuff
LMAO. Thought the same thing!
People were so poor in the great depression they could live off 1 box a month
How sad not to include the truth, which is that Jefferson didn't prepare it for his guests. His enslaved Chef, James Hemmings, adapted the dish and is responsible for its legacy in America.
This would've been the perfect documentary to watch on July 14th. which is National Macaroni & Cheese Day. Who doesn't love a great, big bowl of homemade cheesy, Golden goodness. No wonder it's the Number one comfort food out there.
Mac & Cheese saved us during the depression!
Thanks for the information, Mike Pollock!
Sorry I'm late but its the "The Great Depression"
FRANCE IS FOLLOWING US TO REVOLUTION THERE IS NO MORE STATUS QUO
BUT THE SUN COMES UP AND THE WORLD STILL SPINS
I HAD LAFAYETTE DRAFT A DECLARATION THEN I SAID I GOTTA GO
Why am I on a binge watching spree of how food was made lol
This popped up on epicurious today...your voice is unmistakable....what a delightful surprise, John! Hoozah!
Never knew Mark Hamil knew so much about Mac and Cheese
OMG THATS MIKE POLLOCK!! IT'S EGGMAN!!
Fred Fizik no you big stupid its not eggman
i love him Jefferson he invited mac and cheese and i love it so thank you
He didn’t invent Mac and cheese an enslaved cooked who was owned by Jefferson created it. I hope y’all don’t really think he was in the kitchen making anything
I really enjoyed this!
Wow, left out the entire part about the salesman popularizing it eh? Wow, that's like the best part of the entire story!
This is false, his slave, James Hemings, was a chef and the first American trained in French cuisine. He created the Mac and cheese and Thomas Jefferson took credit of it.
That’s white people for you! The actual person narrating the story stated Thomas Jefferson had a person go to France and Italy learn about Mac & cheese/made it better! That person was sally hemings brother aka Jefferson slave
FINALLY !!! SOMEONE SAID THE TRUTH 😂😂😂 I’m looking at the video like wtf is this ????? Lol
LMAO I just knew black people were gonna try and take credit for this again. As usual
@@redpilledfag Isn't that what white people usually do?
@@redpilledfag This is historical fact though. And along with Jefferson, other wealthy slave owners would want to copy the infamous dish to be served to their guest. The meals were all prepared and seasoned by guess who????Enslaved Black people. So once slavery was over who do you think still would hold the recipe to the way it was made that was so infamous. Just like BBQ done on Fourth of July was something taken from the enslaved Black People of the US.
Thank you so much for this!!!
Looking at some of these comments it's interesting how many don't know their history and when someone was alive. How many people are interchanging invented/created and popularized. Mac & Cheese has roots back 500+ years ago in Italy. That's 200 years before Jefferson and 250 years before slavery. The arguments in these comments and their complete lack of timeline are astonishing. Arguing without considering any facts at all.
Also in the past it was considered royal food the food of kings popes etc then before the box stuff a pasta seller was having trouble selling his pasta so he started to sell it with pieces of cheese and it took off then kraft bought the recipe and sold boxes of it the end
as a italian, it feels bad to hear pasta and bacon together
unlucky It is not the bacon the real problem as in Pasta Gratinata (Gratin Pasta) you may find pancetta and besciamella, but the real monstruosity is the abominable mishmash Americans do created with pouring maccheroni in a muddy pound of melted cheese and butter because they have no sense of taste, and they need to exagerate with flavors and spices in order to feel something hitting their tongues.
I refuse to believe Thomas Jefferson who tastef real pasta was so dumb to let pasta die miserably, by drowning in a lake of liquid cheese. His recipe sure included cheese and butter but I am also sure it accounted lesser butter and lesser cheese and mainly in human quantities, not the humongous loads of cheese and butter used nowadays... 🤔
Italy has pasta dishes that combine bacon with pasta you idiot
A box of mac & cheese fed a family of four? #hardtimes
I know I could eat a whole box by myself
It actually his slave chef .. but oh well .. it’s in a doc on Netflix . High on the hog ✌🏾
Who else is eating Mac n cheese while watching this? Edit: wow. Mac n cheese originated in my home state!
Eggman?!!??? Is that you!???
Even thouch Canada is crazy aboot Kraft dinner, buddeh
Mac and cheese the original southern type is quite a process and that's the true American staple.
Boxed Mac came in from the great depression lmao
Holy crap...my favorite food originated literally 30 miles from me!
Don't say that pls
@@HumphreyAlphaandOmega what? This was 4 years ago lol.
I WANT TO TASTE THIS! D=
ah mac n cheese, my first love.
*im making fricking mac and cheese and no one can stop meeeee-*
Im eating Mac n cheese rn lol
I thought Jefferson's slave chef, James Hemmings popularized macaroni and cheese.
I call shenanigans on the account of Mac and Cheese History. Who you think you fooling SMFH
How cool!!!
Popularized where it from tho
Eggman would love to try some Mac and Cheese
Comfort food,
Thomas Jefferson popularized black people as well 😂 I’m a race traitor
Bro box mac Is canadain
I search it and its not in my recommendation
James Hemings.
Hercules was owned by George Washington.
Who is here for school ? 😑😑😑
This food saves American lives from hunger.
The oldest recipe is English
This isn’t true…his slave chef invented Mac and cheese
Tomas Jefferson didn’t invent Macaroni and cheese his slave did 🤦🏾♂️
Thomas Jefferson slave did not invent Mac and cheese the Europeans invented Mac and cheese Thomas Jefferson brought Mac and cheese back to America. People need to stop giving slaves credit for other peoples inventions.
His slave james Hemings invented it
His slave James hemings did not invent Mac and cheese, Mac and cheese was invented in Europe, Thomas Jefferson brought it back to America after his visit to Europe where he first tried and feel in love with, why are blacks always trying to take credit for somebody else's creations.
Velveeta is not cheese.
Wrong!!.. Jefferson didn't create it..he took credit from 2 african American brothers peter and james
I don’t even like Mac and cheese😂
* Gasps in cheese *
I made a video about mac and cheese :D
I like vegan mac and cheese though because I don't want to steal mommy milk from baby cows 🐗
Mac & cheese , fried chicken are American as apple pie
Apple pie is not American, its British, get your facts right
Damon yeah I know that because I have British Ancestry.
Damon how the hell are you the youtube history professor?
Who ever came up with this idea has no life that’s sad
Where is the African -American influence in this story? Sorry this is "BAD" history. Thomas Jefferson was not in the kitchen cooking up mac and cheese in was James Hemming his enslaved African American. Please try again,and refrain from a systemic racist potrayal of an iconic "American" dish Epicurious. Yup, pointing right at you.
Mac and cheese has been eaten in England since before Jefferson was president, you are the one who is changing history
I guess speading false information is a thing now...
Actually. Black people created Mac n cheese 💛
Sorry its so grose 😀 very you
IM MAKING MAC AND CHEESE AND NOBODY CAN STOP ME
Aw man you beat me to it!😂
"Bless this highly nutritious, microwavable macaroni and cheese dinner, and the people who have provided it for us on sale. Amen." -- Kevin McCallister, ("Home Alone" (1990)).
I love macaroni and cheese
Yes!!!
Any HamFam?
Sooo we’re not going to acknowledge James Hemmings…..he was enslaved by Jefferson and trained as a chef in France. He’s the reason It made It to the states via Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson taking credit for food an enslaved man created in todays time is even more crazy
Ah yes, the whitewashing of history continues. Thomas Jefferson had a Black enslaved chef who traveled with him to France. That chef, James Hemings, invented the Mac & cheese that we eat.
Thats a lie, the earliest evidence of Mac and cheese was found in England
Mac and cheese has been eaten in England since before Jefferson was president, you are the one who is changing history
@@qbcommando9394 European Mac & cheese VS USA Mac & cheese is not the same! The only thing that’s the same are the noodles! As for the other ingredients that came directly from black America
Who is hear and is a hamilton fan of the musical like is your one
1937 was the first boxed version...? For some reason Ive just seen these boxes in Norway for like the last five years. 80 or so years. Seems fair. Im loving it now tho... Please send buttercups now. We still dont have those.
Butterfingers or Reses?
GG Eggman, but where's the part with the evil ham making robot???
Wel it was English
MIKE POLLOCK!!!
:DDD
I’m making Mac & Cheese and nobody can stop me
Aw man you beat me to it!😂
A medieval 'lozynge' is pretty much any kind of pasta, served hot with cheese and maybe some spices. You can make a dead-simple modern verson using leftovers: Take a bowl of pasta, grate a decent covering of cheese over it, dust with cinnamon, then reheat until the cheese starts to melt. Simple, economical and far more delicious than it sounds.
some massive mis-info here ... macaroni and cheese was popularized by Kraft ( a canadian company ). The innovative method for processing (powdered) cheese was invented and patented by James Lewis Kraft of Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada. It sold like mad in Canada and has become a staple of the Canadian diet ( the "de facto Canadian dish" ), and these sales catapulted the Kraft company to become one of the world's largest food companies. It also helped that Canada is the worlds's largest dairy and cheese producer. But, according to this poorly researched video, which cannot bear to even properly acknowledge Kraft, it seems Kraft dinner must be American. What a pile of steaming misinfo.
Eating mac and chesse as watching this.
Tell me about Mac’s famous Mac and cheese.
not sure if mike Pollock likes mac and cheese
You guys ever heard of the southern german/suevian Käsespätzle? This is where the combination of noodle and cheese in a bowl comes from. Sry to upset you.
+dramaturgius But Käsespätzle is not Macaroni and Cheese. First, Spätzle is an egg noodle that has a very different texture from Macaroni, and the flavor is quite different. Second, the combination of cheese and pasta is as old as pasta itself, but Macaroni and Cheese as a dish is quintessentially American.
@@allthingsbbq Mac and cheese as a dish was actually invented and was being eaten in Europe as a actual dish in Europe way before America, Thomas Jefferson first had Mac and cheese when he visited Europe and he fell in love with it and brought it back to America, so no it is not quintessentially American as Mac and cheese originated in Europe.
This is not factually correct. I believe this requires further granular research
All the lies 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️. So no mention of the chef enslaved by Thomas Jefferson??? Who actually created it
It was created way before that in the 14th century in England.
@@martinsanchez4827 it's just black people trying to take credit for something that some one else created it's nothing new under the sun.
