I regularly eat unseasonal vegetables and could happily eat an unseasonal chip. And neither are a staple of a nations cuisine like pasta.

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Spicy to me means heat. Though I appreciate that a pepperoni might deliver that to the soft shites in the south that you associate with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Is there a different flavour pasta that's amazing flavour means it doesn't have to be covered in sauce that I've overlooked like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Perhaps it's my palate, but cutting it into different shapes doesn't make it taste differently either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I don't go to Italians at all anymore. Literally nothing on the menu excites me. I'll cook a spaghetti bolognese or lasagne at home occasionally and it'll likely be a million miles away from authentic Italy (probably better such is my talent), but wouldn't order either in a restaurant.

It's shit value for what it delivers. Starchy and tasteless The thing is though, pasta is such a minor part of proper Italian food. It's usually eaten as a small course between your antipasti and your main and it's a tiny amount and entirely optional. It's only us daft cunts that pile it up on a plate and eat it as the whole meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
