Because to make a proper cheese sauce you need to make a proper roux, and idk who you think is teaching the average person to do that.

That is certainly not common knowledge today, and I doubt it has ever been common knowledge your everyday person would know. Nor is it easy to do for the inexperienced cook.

Used to be that parents and grandparents would teach the kids how to cook something a bit fancier for a holiday.

But we’re all too atomized and busy and politically polarized these days for that.

  Yeah and many have.
  
  I can make Chicken Parmesan with our family recipe sauce, and a proper lasagna. With coffee cake for dessert.
  
  Still was never taught how to make a roux.
  
  I learned how via YouTube, and I still can’t do it without fucking up 50% of the time.
