Read this as an American woman and then go break something.

Grew up in Utah, never had mac at Thanksgiving; NYC-born partner arrived and introduced me & my family to the concept. It is now non-negotiable.

For your consideration: this minus the tomatoes on top (because why?) is TOP. NOTCH. It's the literal only non-negotiable Thanksgiving dish for me now, and what my family always requests since my partner & I first introduced mac to the dinner menu. www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-...

I really like "pople queen."
