"Apparently mac & cheese is a staple in American cuisine. "Damn right it is. People have fought for this country to have mac and cheese." 😭😭

[@nunyadambusiness3530]

Julie The first written recipe [for macaroni and cheese] seems to be from The Experienced English Housekeeper, by a Mrs. Elizabeth Raffald. Published in 1769, it appears to be the forerunner of our own American classic: bechamel sauce with Cheddar, mixed with macaroni, sprinkled with Parmesan, then baked until bubbly and golden. Another recipe, macaroni a la reine ("Macaroni in the style of the queen"), made from a similar mixture of pasta, cream, and melty cheese (often Gruyere), appeared frequently in British cookery books until relatively recent times. So you m'am are wrong! Mac n cheese is not American. But it is consumed by Americans mostly.

[@raquelr8775]

LOL

[@terrateneshia1985]

LMAO!!! How many ppl are coming over? 6 This is like food for 40 Yeah, I know, isn't it FUN?? THAT HAD ME AND MY MOM LAUGHING SO HARD BECAUSE WE DO THE SAME THING!!!

[@Emelllll64]

how is he italian and his families food bland ???

[@lindalemoni5428]

cause it's not actually italian..

[@gretagordon9512]

dddd Garlic is not part of the italian cousine. At least not how northen Americans do it. And cheese is uncountable, there is no s at the end even when talking about multiple kind of cheese. And most of the cheese and oil that I can find in the United States are not even imported from Italy they are a sad american imitation.

[@gretagordon9512]

A. Ahmed He is not italian lol he being italian ended when he said that his family needs to have mac and cheese for thanksgiving

[@BiancaMariah]

his family isn't making it right LOL

[@Katerpillar_]

Greta Gordon where are you eating Italian food in North America that doesn't rely heavily on garlic?

[@janeej2011]

I need *need* to see more of brooke and Lauren they're hilarious lol

[@LesShipsAhoy]

Jay same!!

[@aims22]

"people have fought for this country to have mac n' cheese!" bahahaha.👏

[@mundaneamazing]

Her reaction to all mac and cheese related comments is me exactly. I am boycotting white Thanksgiving this year because they don't have any starches in the meal!!

[@afternoondelight6741]

If ur dressing is crumbly, u ain't making it right..

[@ChaaansBeauty]

Afternoon Delight I was about to say the same thing!

[@MsClarissa2012]

[@breannabooker7670]

Reply if you think interracial couples are normal and the same as any other normal relationship.

[@umallo-o8025]

Bre'Anna Booker You're absolutely right!

[@CC-ju6vo]

Bre'Anna Booker disagree! Interracial relationships can allow you to experience different customs, foods, languages, etc. It's a lot of fun being with and learning from someone of a different culture. The experience is different compared to dating someone with a similar background.

[@lordingram3499]

Balsac Teabaghar that was funny...for someone who could possibly get serioly hurt by saying that. be careful where you walk at night.bro.

[@paulinaramirez2469]

nope, actually they ARE different because they experience different customs and different traditions, etc etc.. lets not underrate what people go through, being in an interracial relationship IS different from a same-race relationship

[@lindalemoni5428]

it's definitely different, but just as beautiful and rewarding when both are in for the right reasons

[@Gonz_97]

I love the first couple so much! The chemistry is great between them.

[@ShayPeee]

If you don't have Mac and cheese at thanksgiving you are not black. If I got to my grandma's house on Thanksgiving and she ain't got the Mac and cheese she gone have to catch this fade! Sorry granny!

[@ShawnHermanstein]

HOLLERINGGGG but facts.💀

[@Chezasflower13]

It's not Thanksgiving without it!

[@misslolmomo]

ShayPeee true 😊

[@olabisikuku2356]

I'm black and have never eaten mac and cheese or had it at Thanksgiving. My family and relatives are West African, so we eat food based on our culture.

[@ShayPeee]

Lebron James that's understandable.

[@sweetnsexcr2727]

Somebody is cooking that dressing all wrong. Dry dressing can be solved with some chicken broth and giblet gravy.

[@shantel903]

sweetnsexcr2727 all wrong. I've never had dry or crumbly dressing. The black chicks family sounds like their Thanksgiving is trashh

[@yams.4308]

sweetnsexcr2727 What are giblets lol

[@sweetnsexcr2727]

@@yams.4308 chicken gizzards

[@yams.4308]

sweetnsexcr2727 What part of the chicken is a gizzard

[@sweetnsexcr2727]

@@yams.4308 where are you from that you don't know what a chicken gizzard is? It grinds the food up for the chicken to digest. Turkeys have them as well.

[@lourdesgutierrez782]

I wish they would expand more and include interracial couples of more variety like Mexican women and Asian man or Thai woman and South African man..... or etc. like I'm Mexican and my husband is Samoan.... and although we visually look the same we do have completely different cultures. It's hard to mash them up at times but we are really good at compromising.... that would be nice

[@evamae6609]

i didn't know lobster was an ingredient 🤔 Wtf

[@DeathGodPain96]

Eva Mae Technically it is ...how are you gonna make a lobster dish without lobster

[@ann-mariedebrah2245]

Eva Mae 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MrTHEPROUD]

Everything part of a meal is an ingredient, so yes lobster is an ingredient.

[@cardion411]

In a butter poached lobster, lobster would indeed be the ingredient. So yes, it can.

[@gabbyslife4965]

Eva Mae You thought the seasonings where the only ones to be called ingredients? It just makes no sense everything you're putting in a dish to make a meal is an ingredient

[@smurfette1985]

Collard greens is NOT a white thing lol. My dad is from Louisiana and white people down south cook the same way as black people especially in Louisiana.

[@dontaskdontworry]

black mamba Facts...

[@Louisiana199021]

black mamba lol exactly I'm from Louisiana and collard greens is not white

[@adier1234]

black mamba most people have it in the soul/southern food category

[@queenfufu4305]

black mamba Exactly, Louisiana white people can cook go up north nobody can cook black or white

[@smurfette1985]

Queen Fu Fu Faaacts!!!! ayeeee unless you have southern roots lolol

[@AshleyLaGata]

I wish they would talk about real cultural differences. My husband and I are always learning eachothers etiquette like what things are considered rude, how families interact, how friends treat eachother, how we emote etc. My husband is Russian and I'm latina basically he'll say someone is being hysterical while I literally think they're just talking normally lol.

[@CherryWangz]

collards are not "Black people food" It's southern food.

[@vernellharris5278]

I agree I'm black and I don't like collard greens!!!

[@archeryangel]

in the north and midwest, most white people haven't had them so up here they kind of are a "black food"

[@chimcham6762]

Chile...go sat down somewhere...at the kids table.

[@miyahbaby8688]

Right and us black people just so happen to eat it a lot and on days like thanksgiving

[@gunnoso8198]

Watching this again, I never realized that was Michelle Buteau and her husband Gijs! She’s hilarious! 😂🤣

[@dp7047]

Thanksgiving "must haves" for black people: Baked Mac n chz, dressing, greens, sweet potatoes (yams),some kind of dinner roll

[@Angibbabee]

OMG! I can NOT believe that man called mac n cheese basic and lazy. I'm so offended. I love mac n cheese. And I'd love to see him make it. *storms away

[@Ellie_R.]

Like baked Mac and cheese is so good

[@ComeliaO7]

This past Thanksgiving me and my boyfriend brought to go plates from each family's house. He did not want to eat the dressing from his family's house. He basically admitted that my mother's dressing was better then his aunts dressing. 😄😄😄 But the upside about his family is that dinner actually starts on time ha Ha! Yes two of the stereotypes are very very true!

[@TheMovieMyLife]

The gorgeous lady in the pigtails looks like a combination of Ava DuVernay and Alia Shawkat :-)

[@janetatum8966]

1) we as white ppl use WAY more than salt 2) never had lobster at a family gathering 3) not all white ppl are rich, my dad and a lot of my friends grew up working in the fields and packing sheds...central valley of CA. 4) We have BOMB stuffing...one side is bread "dressing"...other is also 100% homemade and has mushrooms. 👌 Like random friends show up to eat cuz it's so good.

[@Xitohan]

SALT!!!😂😂😂😂😂

[@MsBritnia]

real talk I know this one couple who collects different KINDS of salt. like they have 50 varieties. they claim it's all the seasoning you need. they're wrong

[@ronny_ron2168]

Andrew: “The food in My family isn’t bland” Keisha: 👀 😂😂😂

[@aprili.3802]

how cute are Michelle's freckles!!!!! I wish my freckles popped like that. Mine were cute like that when I was little but now they're are all faded and lame...

[@MadamKitt]

is that dj vlad? and that super funny comedian woman

[@FaithandNova]

DJ Vlad wished he was that handsome 😂😂😂

[@sofiaampil2873]

Honestly a lot of white people do need help with seasoning. I'll go over to a friends house and they'll be talking about how their moms cooking some signature dish then I'll try it and it'll taste like cardboard

[@vinylpoetclassicslyon7849]

S A hahaha ruthless

[@brianamarshall6589]

I honestly think it depends on what you're used to. In black families we're usually heavy with the seasoning so we become accustomed to that. They make think the food tastes good the way it is because that's the way they're used to it tasting but we don't. The same way I like my sweet tea SWEET but when I give it to my wife she's like no it's too sweet. But to me it's perfect. I think what tastes good to you is just what you're accustomed to.

[@factsfeiten2977]

S A 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mermaidcandy178]

i hate when people have salty food eww

[@blahblah8795]

Briana Marshall and yet black people wonder why their blood pressure is through the roof. All that seasoning

[@dionnacarter293]

My feelings were actually hurt when that guy started roasting Macaroni and Cheese XD XD

[@lanaj7796]

"You know what's not staying together? Us!" 😂💀

[@mzVivikaBam]

Wait, is that the same Michelle in the other comedic VH1 clips on KZbin? that be so amazing that they have her a job based on her personality on these videos

[@maray253]

I love how they’re talking about saying grace before eating and it just reminded how when I (a german not having ever celebrated thanksgiving at all) visited my american family and they literally sat around the thanksgiving dinner table, said “God’s neat, let’s eat” and started digging into the food. When I tell y’all I was dumbfounded

[@shandalynnnoel2234]

"You know what's not staying together. Us" OMG SHE DID NOTTT💀💀

[@MISEWILL]

Bruh what she mean Dressing don't stay together ...the ingredients are baked in. lol we know which one doesn't cook

[@jenna4628]

the lesbian couple is ok. I feel like the black woman is a little bitter and takes a lot of jabs at her wife's family and lifestyle and I feel she allows her to. must be normal to them

[@Margarita1988]

She is very unkind. Doesnt seem like a loving marriage.

[@safaaclermont1560]

Jenna McNellage she's just comfortable with him.i mean her.

nah they're just hella close. like best friends except they have sex. the black women was making fun of her own family too though so

I've never had dry dressing lol

[@chevon1920]

ewe, dressing is not crumbly. it should be moist. i tried stove top stuffing one year and i almost threw up. its so disgusting.

[@Crazycoasterkid21]

So she tried it talking about dressing. I am biracial and have had stuffing. Dressing is so much better hands down. Also, Mr. Holland tried it talking about Mac & cheese is basic. Any black person or POC knows you put eight different cheeses and lots of love into that pan. Y'all learn. lol

I just have to laugh. My semi-southern (from Kentucky so the 'south' calls us northerners and the 'north' calls us Southerners) white family makes the best food. Mac n cheese, greens, DRESSING, etc. Never had lasagna at Thanksgiving. Everything tastes better with bacon, butter and the 47 seasonings in my mom's cabinets. 😂😂😂

[@brandtmccall5184]

I think interracial friendships, romantic partners are very accepted, from my personal perspective and in the area I live Vancouver BC, where interracial couples and friends are thankfully a very social norm, I have several friends with spouses from different cultures. A challenging situation I hear about from my vegan friends however I am vegan too, is dating people whom are not vegan or vegetarian. The life philosophy of no cruelty to animals is very important to many vegans as well as for health promotion reduced heart disease, cancer, strokes, kidney stones.. People tend to reduce their meat/dairy or become vegan themselves if they are not vegan already when they are in relationship with a vegan I have witnessed this many times hopefully by their own choice verses their partner saying vegan or this relationship is over which is controlling verses unconditional love and acceptance of a person.

[@Ka-cc7kh]

Brandt McCall I know a couple where the wife is a vegan who slowly transitioned from veggie and the husband is a full on meat lover. The only.. to my knowledge comprise they got is no meat in the house. They have been together for 10 plus years. And she is a christain and he is a atheist..

[@brandtmccall5184]

Wow a vegan Christian is in I hope a caring, respectful, supportive relationship with an atheist, meat lover. The wife likely believes all life is precious as is created by god, which I do support although I am not Christian I know many Christian's are vegetarian or vegan, this is a very interesting relationship! Opposites do attract!

[@Ka-cc7kh]

Brandt McCall If it was some other man i dont think it work but her husband is the reason why the marriage works because he accepts it without alot of drama.

[@MrTHEPROUD]

Comparing veganism to racial things... where do you find the arrogance. You chose to be a vegan, so deal with the consequences of people not conforming to your lifestyle since humans are omnivores.

[@brandtmccall5184]

The human digestive tract is actually much more like a herbivore, hence we have much lower hydrochloric acid in our stomach, very long intestines and no enzymes in our mouths to break down animal proteins like true carnivores and omnivores like dogs do. If humans were designed to eat meat, there would far less heart disease and strokes in people whom eat meat and dairy verses people whom don't. LDL cholesterol is very high in animal products but not in plant based proteins and other plant based foods. LDL cholesterol is the "unhealthy," cholesterol which causes plaque in arteries. Many leading cardiologist are vegan ie. Dr. Kim Williams head of the US College of Cardiology. Simple carbs also damage arteries as they cause insulin to increase and insulin damages the walls or arteries. Respectfully also many vegans believe it is arrogant or lacking in compassion and heart to eat meat as the animals suffer so much, and needlessly as there are is zero need to eat animal products to the contrary it isn't healthy ie. the World Health Organization recently classified processed and non processed meat as carcinogens, and as mentioned animal products do for certain cause plaque in human arteries.
