Okay,
Pat has a gift for putting his foot in his mouth. The context, however, was what was being eaten on Thanksgiving Day. I would be expecting to hear turkey or perhaps ham, dressing, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce . . . But not macaroni and cheese.
So, it begs the question, why mac and cheese on Thanksgiving. Why not, I know. But maybe it is cultural.
I don’t care one way or another, but I think I understand the reason for the question. Flame on,
I don’t know where you celebrate Thanksgiving, but in the South we have a bunch of sides along with the turkey, dressing and cranberry sauce. Mashed potatoes, greens, yams, creamed corn, butter beans and field peas, and yes, mac&cheese.

They are not talking about kraft-in-the-box mac and cheese.
Its that lovely homemade kind with plenty of cream and cheddar cheese ooey gooey in the middle nice crunchy on top. yummy
When we moved out of state and started having holiday meals on our own, that was one thing they insisted I include in the meal. Still do.
“... why mac and cheese on Thanksgiving.. why not?”
Actually, I always make macaroni and cheese on Thanksgiving. Everyone loves it and as a leftover.... it is really good. Of course, there will also be the more traditional fare like turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy etc... A buddy FReeper of mine said she thought it was a “southern thing”. Eat what you like! (by the way, we are white)
“...begs the question...” does not mean what you think it means.
