Well, I don't know how regional the macaroni is to the south. See, I got the idea to do it from Stephen's mother, who got used to eating it on Thanksgiving because his grandmother used to do it. The grandmother was from Virginia, but they've always lived in Pennsylvania/Connecticut. So who knows.
I have no idea what people eat elsewhere either, though. I assume banana pudding, pecan pie, and collard greens are not terrifically common outside of the south, but you just said that your Steven loves collards so pffft. Reading the other comments in here, I know that I've never seen plain mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving (always sweet potatoes, sometimes boiled new potatoes), and corn is always in pudding or bread form.
