WTF?
When did this become more than student/school food? It was offered as a side dish in a gastropub alongside chips or veg.
(Yes, I'm a yokel spending time in London currently...)
Bit like pulled pork it's become very popular of late with other food from over the pond. Problem is it suffers from the same issue as pulled pork that most is pretty awful and miles away from the original idea.When did this become more than student/school food?

Goodmans used to have lobster mac 'n' cheese as a side dish. Bloody lovely.
If you're London based try the Mac n Cheese with ox cheek at Berners Tavern, Served with a coute de boeuf. Amazing stuff. I love making a Macaroni Cheese at home, one of the only meals the kids actually enjoy eating.
I need to make hot water pastry so I can make macaroni pies.
I've never really had good mac n' cheese at any restaurant, even good bbq places and the problems are always the same. Not enough cheese, not enough seasoning and then left to sit in a warming tray so the pasta goes soft and mushy. I rarely order it if I see it now.
Love making it at home though, make a big tray of it once a week.

When did the trend of calling it 'Mac n Cheese' start? What's wrong with calling it by it's proper name? It always has and always will be macaroni cheese to me.
Marketing.Friend of mine ordered it recently assuming he was getting a burger(!) Was most surprised when a plate of student slop turned up
