Yes I have, but here's a funny Yank Kay story for you. I was in Alt Airport. I walk up to a counter and told the sales person that I smelled smoke. He looked at me and said " where you from" to which I replied "NYC". he shook his head, pointed to the cieling and said " Sir, Its the Hams" Above me were about fifty smoked hams....

That was funny. 
Here is my country boy in the city story for you.
I was stationed at Ft Fitzsimmons near Denver, CO. My first time off base was a Saturday morning and we wanted to goto McDonalds for a regular breakfast. I ordered the country ham biscuit since biscuits and gravy was not on the menu. I got the biscuit and took my first bite, looking forward to that wonderfull salty taste of home. Well it wasnt even close, I opened the biscuit and there was this little round piece of "baked" ham. I went to the busy counter and explained that this is not country ham. The little old lady behind the counter informed me, as well as everyone around, that I was no longer in the south and that was their version of country ham. I also could not find any sweet tea out there either.

Thanks Penn, gonna add a touch of hot stuff next time I make some - never thought of doing that. Mac 'n' Cheese is fun to experiment with different flavors.
A version of MnC I like to bake occasionally includes extra sharp cheddar cheese, smoked preferably, and cubed Black Forest ham.

My wife always adds a can of Ro-tel (Tomatos & Green Chilies) to the regular old Kraft's Mac & Cheese. We both like it that way!

Adding Ro-tel to the list of things to add to MnC, though around here if I go for heat someone is going to insist it be the Serrano peppers growing in the pot on the balcony.
I haven't bought a box of Kraft's in years.

That sounds good. Blue Point restaurant at the Hyatt Chesapeake Bay (it's actually located on the banks of the Choptank River in Maryland's Eastern Shore) makes a great blue crab mac and cheese.
Thanks for the recipe, Chef Penn! I always seem to struggle to make a good mac and cheese.

I grew up on the Mississippi Gulf coast and don't know hoop cheese, but my mother made great baked mac and cheese. I've tried to duplicate her recipe but I'm missing an ingredient that binds it together. She also had a way with fried chicken...

If you post what you think is in it we can point out the "binder" or lack there of... 
I don't think you're going to have an ingredient that acutally "binds" it and good mac and cheese doesn't really stay together like lasagna.

I'll be heading south this winter and have added "hoop cheese" to my TO DO list. Hopefully I can find some.
