The best macaroni and cheese is the one that I don't have to eat. Macaroni and cheese is to me what brussel sprouts and tongue are to normal people.

Brussel sprouts are awesome and versatile, cook them in rendered bacon fat and golden raisins and add the chunks of bacon at the end of cooking them. Tongue is also great, a quality tongue sandwich on rye from a Jewish deli and lengua tacos are as good as it gets.

You're going to make a lot of people sick with this selection but I'm with you.

Funny thing about tongue. It is universally repulsive. Filet mignon oth is universally liked. And yet anatomically tongue should be considered far less repulsive than filets at least if you consider the goings in are much less repulsive than the goings out.

I like them both. Like most foods. Although I must confess I never had spotted dick.

You are my gastric brother from another mother. I eat all that stuff. Deli tongue especially when mixed with pastrami or corned beef is one of my all time favorite sandwiches. Adore lengua tacos too. And cabeza for that matter.

Every time I went to Storrs for a game I hit Reins Deli for a tongue sandwich. Always got the extra thick sandwiches. Sometime with corn beef, sometimes with pastrami. MM and later first night always started with Reins. I loved those experiences. First there was great food and then a taste to satisfy my sports passion.

Question. Did you see spot run?! Or was the pox too debilitating?

Combine the two. The mac and cheese pizza at Wooden Tap is pretty good.

I was saving that for the piece de resistance. The nirvana of all food threads.

I've never really found a food I didn't like, never understood those people who won't try things.

I don't mind either one, but I thought most people did. I agree with you 100% on the tacos. If you're ever in the Madison area, try a lengua taco from Taqueria Cinco. It's a heavenly experience.

There is a black bus that parks at the Guilford green. Might be same hombre. Lengua is printed on the side.

Tongue is tasty, the problem I had with it was psychological. I would take a bite of my lengua taco, enjoy the flavor, and then immediately my mind would remind me what I was chewing on.
 
Whole foods has some solid mac and cheese at their buffet.

This is my problem with it and why I haven't tried it...yet.

Friends who don't have that issue have raved about the Rick Reuben (50/50) at Meat & Co. I am a fan of the place and have loved everything I've had there. Maybe one of these days I'll try the tongue.
 
Is this really a question? (I need a tag line too)

Duh!

you guys actually order this stuff when eating out?

I'm with you here. Have had Mac and cheese two or three times my whole life. Always have viewed it as children's food. I find it foul. Love cheese. Love pasta. Just don't like them together. Which is weird, given how popular it is and the fact that I'll pretty much eat anything that is carbon based and was once living. My kids and wife love it.
 
It's only a stones throw over the Ct/MA border so in going to throw it in: Granville General Store. Tiniest little Podunk store you've ever seen. But it's the homemade cheddar cheese that makes it a cut above everywhere else I've ever had Mac n cheese. It is phenomenal.
 
MacDaddys in Monroe is the best gourmet Mac and Cheese in Southern CT.

I ordered had my GF try a lengua taco that I ordered without her telling it what it is (she is repulsed by the idea of tongue) and as you would expect, because tongue tastes very normal, she liked it.... until I told her. And yes, to answer anyone's question, we're still together after that little incident.

Brussel sprouts roasted w some olive oil and bacon is farking delicious. As was required, I hated them as a kid. But just like asparagus, Brussels become delicious once you turn 30.

I get the asparagus now on the grill with some "Believe it or not" but much like the Beav I will never get the brussel sprouts.

I worked part-time at a Jewish deli years ago. Little old ladies would come in and ask to see the tongue. I would have to pick up the whole dismembered tongue, (which are big, like a longer ham) wrapped in plastic, and hold it over the counter. It does slice up pretty nicely but I never tried it.

Think you misunderstood for years TRest, the little old ladies asked to see your tongue!
 
I still think the original Kraft Mac and Cheese is delicious. Chemical powder cheese and all...
