The Great Mac 'N Cheese Debate Of 2017

Do you stand with Team Sauce or Team Macaroni?

Ah. Mac n' Cheese. America's favorite pastime.

Seen as early as the 14th century and gaining popularity in the US by endorsement of Thomas Jefferson, Mac 'n Cheese has been a uniting dish among many cultures, and a central part of our childhoods.

But what makes Mac 'n Cheese? Is it the shape of the pasta or the presence of the creamy sauce that holds more inherent value?

It's time to settle this once and for all: Are you Team Sauce or Team Macaroni?

A classic Mac n' Cheese

Team Macaroni

You are a part of the distinguished Team Macaroni if you believe:

* The sauce does not make the dish.

* Melted cheese can be just as satisfying in texture as a traditional cheese sauce...

* ...especially with multiple kinds of cheese (mmmm)

* Spaghetti noodles would simply not do the job, even if you had the best cheese sauce.

* Heathens who put spaghetti in cheese sauce are wrong.

Now, the other side: Team Sauce

You are part of Team Cheese sauce if you believe:

* The sauce in Mac n' Cheese is, objectively, the best part of the dish.

* Any pasta, even spaghetti, could be substituted for macaroni and still be Mac n' Cheese.

* You will fight for your right to Beschamel.
