Macaroni



:''For the 18th century English fashion, see macaroni (fashion).'' :''For Macaroni Latin, see Macaronic.'' Macaroni is typically machine-made dry commercial pasta, used in contrast to fresh pasta made at home or in small local businesses. Macaroni technically must not contain eggs. Although usually commercially made, some more advanced home machines do allow for the fresh creation of macaroni pasta. ''Macaroni'' is a corruption of the Italian language word maccherone and its plural maccheroni. Thomas Jefferson is credited with bringing the first macaroni machine to the United States in 1789, when he returned home after serving as Ambassador (diplomacy) to France. Jefferson credits Mr. Daniel Paese with teaching him all he learned about this machine. In the United States and Canada, the name ''macaroni'' is customarily given to a specific shape of pasta: small pasta tubes cut into short pieces. Macaroni is also sometimes labelled as elbow macaroni, or more simply elbows, due to the slight bend in the shape of the pasta noodle. In the US and UK, this pasta is usually prepared by baking it with Cheddar cheese or American cheese; the resulting dish is called ''macaroni and cheese'' (or ''macaroni cheese'' in Britain). Among some Italian-Americans in the mid-Atlantic region (particularly in Philadelphia and New Jersey), macaroni is used as a generic term for any type of pasta. However, those Italian-Americans who are educated in the Italian language are careful to use the word properly, to refer only to small pasta tubes cut into short pieces. The Kraft Foods company makes a popular packaged product known widely as Kraft Dinner, an inexpensive and easy to prepare macaroni and cheese dish. There are also microwavable varieties. Calabrians usually refer to pastas as maccheroni, for they eat that a lot. Calabrian girls used to have to be skilled at making 15 types of pasta in order to be considered for marriage, and maccheroni was a requirement. Pasta

Macaroni



Here are lyrics that include the word "macaroni" in the song "Yankee Doodle" Yankee Doodle came to town, A-ridin' on a pony; He stuck a feather in his hat And called it macaroni. Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle Dandy; Mind the music and the steps And with the girls be handy. Father and I went down to camp, Along with Cap'n Goodwin; The men and boys all stood around As thick as hasty puddin'. Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle Dandy; Mind the music and the steps And with the girls be handy. Interestingly, the Wikipedia Yankee Doodle page linked to from Macaroni does not mention this version of these lyrics. User:Lfwlfw 02:49, 3 Aug 2003 (UTC) ----
