Comment on Pineapple was never the problem

  I know, I know. But have you had it?

  I was the kid who used to make mashed potato and stuffing sandwiches after thanksgiving, if that’s relevant.

    I have and that’s why it frustrates me, because it’s functionally just partially chewed cheese bread in a triangle.

    Your second point actually helps me suss out some of my issue. Yes, stuffing and mashed potato sandwich is just carbs on carbs on carbs, but each of those has their own distinct flavor and texture profile. While I wouldn’t stop at just those, you’re only a slab of ham and some cranberry relish away from my traditional Thanksgiving leftovers sandwich.

    Mac and pizza though, I wouldn’t put mac and cheese on bread and call it a sandwich. I think my hangup is the Mac and cheese.

      It’s definitely not for everyone, but the only thing stopping me from making a mac and cheese sandwich is shame.

      I will say, most of the mac and cheese pizzas I’ve had were more enjoyable(for me) than good and the texture is the reason. To do it well, you basically just need a good thick cheese sauce that coats the noodles well enough to insulate them from getting simultaneously soggy and burnt, but the best sauce for that is not the best sauce for standard mac and cheese
