Growing up, I was a very picky eater. So much so, that I probably had macaroni and cheese three to five times a week. Whether my cousins were babysitting me, it was the holidays or just Wednesday afternoon, mac 'n' cheese was on my mind.
For Thanksgiving, while my family members filled their plates with turkey, mashed potatoes, veggies and stuffing, I was enjoying my bowl of delicious macaroni and cheese. I'll admit, it was tough being an outsider. There were endless questions around my food choices: "Why won't you try new food? Aren't you missing out? Aren't you going to be hungry in 20 minutes?" My dad once forced me, through tears, to try a piece of turkey (which I did not enjoy) and since then, I've never had another bite.
To me, macaroni and cheese is childhood. It is a staple in my diet and something I know will be there for me in times of need. At 24 years old, I have enjoyed various shapes of mac 'n' cheese and obviously some are better than others. So, here's my attempt to rank the best shapes of my favorite meal on the planet.
