A club to celebrate one of the nation’s favourite dishes is preparing for its first meeting.
The Scottish Macaroni Appreciation Club (SMAC) will hold its inaugural meeting at Sloans in Glasgow tonight.
The monthly club will bring together lovers of the cheesy pasta dish, giving them a chance to share recipes, stories and platefuls of their favour food.
It will also aims to put macaroni lovers to the test by serving deviations of the traditional dish, including Tex Mex mac and cheese, macaroni and meatballs and a mystery concoction which is not for the faint hearted.
SMAC daddy, the founder of the club, said: “There are macaroni purists who are only interested in the traditional serving of the dish, but at SMAC we welcome even the most maverick macaroni lover. There is nothing we won’t try macaroni cheese with and we challenge SMAC devotees to test our dedication.”
Tickets for the inaugural meeting sold out within a day. However, tickets for the next meeting, which will be held on Wednesday, March 27, are now available from Sloans at a cost of £9.95 per person. To book visit Sloans website.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
