He stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni.
Back in Pre-Revolutionary America when the song "Yankee Doodle" was first popular, the singer was not referring to the pasta "macaroni" in the line that reads "stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni". "Macaroni" was a fancy ("dandy") style of Italian dress widely imitated in England at the time. So by just sticking a feather in his cap and calling himself a "Macaroni" (a "dandy"), Yankee Doodle was proudly proclaiming himself to be a country bumpkin, because that was how the English regarded most colonials at that time. But times have long since changed, and it is important to reflect on the fact that despite the turbulent early relationship between England and the American colonists, our two countries are strongly united.

Here's another good question- Do you know who put cheese and pasta together to create the culinary masterpiece that is mac & cheese??
Thomas Jefferson- it was an idea he got from a trip to France... he called it "macaroni", meaning a "fancy mixture or combination"... at least that's what it meant at the time.
