Where did macaroni and cheese come from?

Answer 1

Ultimately, the Italians. There are recipes for Macaroni and cheese that date back to the 13th century from Italy. But CliffordAWright.com says that the American Macaroni and cheese began as either a casserole from a church in the New England area or a 'macaroni pudding' (sounds terrible!) from southeastern Connecticut. There is also a theory that Thomas Jefferson brought back the idea from his visits to Italy, along with his pasta machine.

Answer 2

The American macaroni and cheese has two main lines of ancestry claimed. In the first, it is thought that macaroni and cheese was a casserole that had its beginnings at a New England church supper. In southeastern Connecticut it was known long ago as macaroni pudding. In the second, and more famous story, and more than likely the original story, it is said that the classic American macaroni and cheese returned with Thomas Jefferson to Virginia after his sojourn in Italy. Jefferson had brought back a pasta machine from Italy. His daughter Mary Randolph became the hostess of his house after Jefferson's wife died and she is credited with inventing the dish using macaroni and Parmesan cheese. Later, the Parmesan was replaced with cheddar cheese. Anyway, that's one story. It is more likely that Jefferson encountered the dish in Italy and brought back the recipe. Origin: 1590-1600 this is all lies.....ill tell you the real story it originated in south western china where opium filled china men would cut off the heads of the village people and play Dodge-ball. That's is when mac and cheese were born
