Hello Smarty Pants and welcome to Trusty Trivia Thursday. Today we're diving into the ooey gooey Cheesy wheezy world of Mac and cheese. Before we stir things up, a huge shout out to Logan in West Tisbury, Massachusetts. You said who Smarted Is the best podcast ever. Well Logan, you just made our day. Thanks for listening and loving to learn. Let's dig in. Question 1 Where did macaroni and cheese originate? Was it A the United States, B Italy, or C outer Cheeselandia? If you picked B, you're graded and celebrated. Macaroni originated in Italy and various cheesy pasta dishes date back to the 13th century. Question 2 which US president is credited with popularizing Mac and cheese in America? A Thomas Jefferson, b Abraham Lincoln or C George Cheese Washington? Did you say A? You're historically delicious? Thomas Jefferson brought the dish back from Europe and served it at state dinners. Final question what pasta shape is most commonly used in classic Mac and cheese? Is it a penne, B elbow macaroni, or C pasta dinosaurs? If you said B, you're elbowing your way to excellence. While all three shapes are great for Mac and cheese, elbow macaroni is the classic choice because its hollow shape holds onto all that creamy, cheesy goodness. Talk about a pasta that knows how to hug the flavor. You stirred up some serious knowledge, Smartypants. Join us next week for more trivia that's sharp and satisfying. If you want to learn more, check out our Mac and cheese episode in the who's Smarted archives. Thanks so much, Smarty Pants. Keep on smarting and keep on having fun. Hey smarty pants. Trusty here.
