This was some pretty funny stuff, especially the debate on mac & cheese..
The Unexpected Racial Implications Of Macaroni And Cheese
One overwhelming favorite answer to the question was macaroni and cheese.
"My momma's homemade mac and cheese," Jeremy Jarmon said.
"Always have macaroni and cheese," Santana Moss said. ''That's one of the dishes that it ain't Thanksgiving unless you've got macaroni and cheese."
"My favorite side dish is my grandmother's macaroni and cheese," Antwaan Randle El said. "Unfortunately for me, I'm lactose intolerant. Unfortunately for everybody else, I'm still gonna eat it."
"Macaroni and cheese," Haynesworth said. "Now, I'm talkin' about baked [stuff], not, like, Kraft. My mom MAKES it. She bakes it."
"Mac and cheese or something," Devin Thomas said. I must've looked slightly surprised. "Damn right! Why not?"
"Well," I said hesitantly, "I just don't think I've ever considered macaroni and cheese part of Thanksgiving dinner."
Thomas was aghast. "Never had mac and cheese on Thanksgiving?!?!"
"You gotta go to a black Thanksgiving, then," Fred Davis suggested.
Haynesworth agreed. "What kind of family do you have?" he asked rhetorically. "It's cause you're white and you're from here."
So I figured I'd see if that was true in the simplest way possible: by specifically asking white players if they'd eaten mac and cheese as part of Thanksgiving dinner.
Shaun Suisham: "Never."
Hunter Smith: "I wish I did, but I don't.
Todd Yoder: "I don't know. Maybe. But it's not a staple or anything."
Casey Rabach: "Mac n' Cheese? No. Nope. It's a black thing."
