Where in your usual Kraft package is the sauce mornay? There is hardly even anything in there that legally qualifies as cheese, just enough so they can't put behind bars for false claims of "and cheese".

I bet that's also a correct order, they just double the cheese.

Mac is not an acronym.
It is only an abbreviation of macaroni.
Mac and Cheese would be redundant if it were an acronym.
spankmonkey@lemmy.world · 33 pts · 1y
Yeah, nobody would say the words of an acronym, like PIN number or ATM machine!
(you are correct)

There’s ATMs and there are ATM machines and you don’t want to get the two mixed up
Draegur@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 1y
Oh yeah the Access To Money machines that you see at sketchy convenience stores and whatnot usually have bizarrely high fees
Whereas Automated Teller Machines operated by established financial institutions are a little more trustworthy and reasonable
(I'm only a little bit joking)

PIN is an acronym. ATM is an initialism. Please pedant properly.

It's Mac and cheese, but through sheer awesome coincidence it's also the correct acronym.

Taste? I'm talking about behaviour
Threeme2189@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y
No no, you've got it all backwards! The singular is macaron or macaronus. The plural is macaroni, like viri.
Next time you order Mac and cheese, say it right 😉

Somewhat on the same topic, can someone explain how "asf" came about (meaning "as fuck")? I mean I get it, some lazy bums can't be bothered to type "AF" (with the capital letters), but why add an extra letter out of nowhere?

Mac is just a synonym for "good European food Amerikanized into cheap junk with chemicals."
Imagine! Why would one eat "Mac" when you can have pasta with sauce Mornay?
brisk@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 1y
How is mac and cheese not pasta with mornay sauce?
Treczoks@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Where in your usual Kraft package is the sauce mornay? There is hardly even anything in there that legally qualifies as cheese, just enough so they can't put behind bars for false claims of "and cheese".
brisk@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 1y
I would assume someone talking about mac and cheese was referring to the dish rather than the kraft snack food
Treczoks@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Well, that Kraft mac and almost cheese is the most common version of that dish in the US.
