It's starting to be eaten in the UK, but really it's just a bastardised version of Carbonara, so people prefer to eat that.

- smcl 7y ago"Macaroni cheese" (no "&" or "and") has been a thing in the UK for a really long time, at least since my mother was a student (1980s) but probably earlier
- phonypc 7y agoThe comparison to carbonara keeps coming up, but I don't really get it. Cheese is a component of carbonara, but it's as much about cured pork and egg. And the cheese is a salty and acidic sheep's milk cheese, nothing like varieties typically used in mac & cheese. Edit: also long vs. short noodles. There's really no commonalities between the two besides the inclusion of noodles and cheese, which applies to probably hundreds of dishes.
