SC - Macaroni and Cheese NOT OT NOR OOP!

[Susan Fox-Davis]

OK, I don't use the sweets in it.  But how is this NOT macaroni and cheese?
Another translation I've seen has the cook poke a hole in the paste 'fillet'
which makes a long, holed noodle, very like the classic Blue Box.

" Roman Noodles. Blend meal which has been separated from chaff with water in
the best
  way. When it has been blended, spread it out on a board and roll it with a
rounded and
 oblong piece of wood such as bakers are accustomed to use in such a trade. Then
when it
 has been drawn out to the width of a finger, cut it. It is so long you would
call it a fillet. It
  ought to be cooked in rich and continually boiling broth, but if, at the time,
it must be
 cooked in water, put in butter and salt. When it is cooked, it ought to be put
in a pan with
                      cheese, butter, sugar, and sweet spices."

Aye, right you are. Tell them "I Love You" while you're at it.  I did and I'm
glad.

I'm having trouble coaxing recipes out of my father, the born-again vegan, who
is a pinch-and-dash cook and has no head for what amounts he used, but won't
make his old chili anymore even to sort out the proportions.  Grump.
