Reply to comment by theAusterityClinic in TIL that the reason Yankee Doodle stuck a feather in his cap and called it 'macaroni' was because at one time macaroni was slang for something very fashionable or trendy by elephantsgraveyard

But why was the word macaroni used like this, especially in the context of calling pasta macaroni both at-large and sometimes a specific type of pasta?
