Thank you all for commenting<br />@Ellen-Thank you for showing up on my blog! And for the exhaustive information about mac and cheese. Such a simple dish, so much you made me learned about it. Where/how did you find Vraie Fiction?

People can usually tell when I forget to add it. They don't know I added mustard, but they can tell I left something out. Dried mustard definitely adds a little something to the dish. I also find a pinch of cyanne pepper or a few squirts of hot sauce pearks up the flavor without adding a spicy heat to the dish.<br />I researched 100s of M&C recipes last year and found that about 1/3 American recipies do use dry mustard. The recipie that constantly gets rave reviews & most asked for recipie is the classic mac & cheese from the 1940s Fannie Farmer cookbook. It calls for more cream than most & has a longer stiring time, but got rave reviews hot out of the oven and it reheats in the microwave tasting just like the fresh baked version. Also passed the freeze & reheat test with no fat seperation or greasiness like you get with many M&C recipes.Ellen in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03484004145095198712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592307094236206281.post-56528924398012113952013-08-22T17:17:52.584+01:002013-08-22T17:17:52.584+01:00i always put some mustard in my mac and cheese. i...i always put some mustard in my mac and cheese. it enhances the flavor but doesn't overwhelm it. you don't use very much.jaz@octoberfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249328159454897124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592307094236206281.post-28935473146389017242013-08-22T02:29:41.292+01:002013-08-22T02:29:41.292+01:00Yeah, I probably shouldn't confess this here b...Yeah, I probably shouldn't confess this here but the only mac 'n cheese I have ever made is Kraft Dinner.

An essentially American dish, supposedly invented by one of our "founding fathers", a dish which was the traditional family meal for Hallowe'en in my house growing up.<br /><br />I am a deft hand with the noodle and curd, and I will attest that I have ALWAYS used mustard in preparing the dish.<br /><br />Namely I add mustard seeds to the boiling water, which imbues the noodles with flavor.<br /><br />We also usually serve macaroni and cheese with polish sausages doused in mustard, and so there is another overlap of mustard flavor.<br /><br />Sour and salty, a cherished flavor combination!
