Only under the ingredient rebel/preparation neutral interpretation of "tea."
Just imagine - You're sitting down enjoying a fresh cup of tea, you raise the cup to your mouth and sip the neon orange watery cheesey tea.
Even more exotic - Imagine it's a cup of boba tea but the tea is kraft cheese powder water and the boba pearls are macaroni noodles.
and loose the opportunity to feel the oily orange goodness coating your tongue as you tilt your cup back?
You're telling me they don't serve tea? how barbaric. I shall pray they and everyone can enjoy the finest tea we make in America
Sadly, a tea requires some leafy or otherwise vegetable components to be stewed or boiled in water, but not consumed when drunk.
Mac & cheese is a more radical approach to spaghetti in alfredo sauce, which is itself a deconstruction of creamy soup in a bread bowl. Based on the Cube Rule Sandwich Theorem, soup in a bread bowl is a subtype of quiche.
Given that no transitive link (based on simple transformation of ingredient to finished food) between tea and quiche exists, we can conclude that mac & cheese is not a tea.
macaroni is made out of flour, and flour is made from grinding wheat grains, wheat grains come from wheat stalks, wheat stalks have leaves, therefore macaroni and cheese is tea
big ups then, almond milk's smooth in earl grey.
not as smooth as macaroni and cheese in a tea cup
I suppose if you make your macaroni and cheese tea a bit viscous then it's considered eating, but we're talking about drinking here.
well thats your own opinion, theres plenty of people that enjoy a diverse array of teas
I consider @Dirt_Owl 's opinion valid. are you saying Dirt_owl's opinion aren't valid?
:owl-pissed: If you can drink it and it has herbs in it it's a tea! Therefore watery mac n' cheese is a tea! :bird-screm-2:
No.
If you make mac and cheese using vegan milk/cheese and penne, it's still mac and cheese, even though it contains neither mac nor cheese.
The essence of mac and cheese or tea doesn't come from their structures, but their relationship with society.
Are teas soups? Idk, can't feel so strong about this one. Macaroni and cheese can be made into a sort of a soup rather than a drained pasta dish, if you don't add much pasta, or just take it out right away for that gluten essence in liquified cheese it could be considered a really unusual tea.
If you cook it in excess water and don't drain it, then macaroni and cheese maybe leans toward the boundary of what could be considered bubble tea.
Tea has to be a watery liquid that is infused and homogenous.
