Macaroni and cheese is a universal delight. And apparently, it's a dish that our Founding Fathers could've eaten.
Townsends, a YouTube Channel dedicated to 18th-century living and dining, featured this 1784 recipe for the dish we know as macaroni and cheese. Simply known as "Macaroni" back in the day, this dish is simple and reminiscent of our own childhood lunches.
The host John Townsend, dressed in full 18th-century style, takes us step-by-step through this recipe. The dish is familiar enough, but Townsend peppers the video with historical facts and anecdotes.
It's a simple recipe with an old time twist--easy enough to try at home, but cool enough to post on social media.
