September 11: Commemorate Patriots Day in the US
In the United States, Patriot Day is a federal observance appointed in commemoration of those who died in the attacks of September 11th, 2001. It's also an opportunity to acknowledge the efforts of those who worked bravely to save lives on that day. For this reason, Dishfolio's bloggers recommend classic American dishes to deliver a sense of national unity on a day of remembrance.
Macaroni and cheese is one of the most heartwarming family dinner recipes out there, perfect for Patriot Day. Despite having its origins in Liber de Coquina, a medieval Italian cookbook, the dish is often seen as being quintessentially American - especially when its name is affectionately shortened to 'mac 'n' cheese'.
As common on great American recipe cards as it may be, one of the more interesting facts about macaroni and cheese is that it gained much of its popularity as a humble, affordable dish during the Depression. During World War Two alone, consumers bought a colossal 50 million boxes of Kraft mac and cheese.
