Background story:
It’s not cultural for me but it’s traditional for me and my mom’s side of the family. The recipe has been passed down by my great grandmother who taught my grandmother, who taught my mother how to make it. We usually serve it whenever my family celebrates holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, or even events that are not special occasions. My grandma always brings her famous dish, Macaroni Salad. It never fully tastes the same if anyone else except my grandma makes it. It’s never dry, has good seasoning and the pasta is moist in a very good way. It's so special to me because I grew up with my grandmother and loved her cooking from a young age. Now I hardly see her. She is one of the important people in my life, she supports me in everything I do, and is always there for me whenever I need someone to talk to. It’s kind of funny because my family and I are not even remotely German, but that is where this dish originated.
