Mac and Cheese is literally a bog-standard gratin with Mornay sauce. If the British claim is to have downgraded it by replacing all the veggies with straight carbs then I guess yeah we’ll have you let that one.
No. Well maybe in the Anglosphere. In Germany you’re more likely to see Gratin de chou-fleur, that is, broadly speaking, replace all the macaroni with cauliflower, than Mac&Cheese. If you want cheesy comfort pasta there’s either proper Carbonara, or a cream and cheese sauce, more or less exactly South Tyrol style.

Makes sense mac and cheese is British tho so it’ll have to be deep fried and left in the sun to rot then smothered with soul food spices
