I hope that helps, and if anyone has any other >theories or comments, I'd love to hear them. Nancy Nava Atlas, in her wonderful cookbook "Vegetariana," says that when macaroni was first introduced to England, it was very stylish food, and that's how the slang term came about. It's a really fun cookbook, lots of great recipes, and little illustrations and sayings about food and stuff.
