    Pancakes are mostly wheat flour and egg.

    Pasta is mostly wheat flour and egg.

    Pancakes and strawberries? 😋

    Pasta and strawberries? 🫨

    Chaos kitchen is what’s up. Good things together however you want.

    Apricot jam, chilli powder and apple cider vinegar make a great salad dressing.

    Coleslaw, Mandarin and fried onion are a great salad.

    Try new things and do what makes you happy.

    I buy dried pasta in different shapes and mix them in the same container.

    That’s what you get for siding with Hitler!

    A buddy of mine is currently living in Poland with his girlfriend. Some of their food is legitimately terrifying. We make fun of him all the time and tell him he’s at least going to lose weight living over there

      You can’t lose weight anywhere in Eastern Europe. Poland isn’t an exception! And if you leave the place, you’ll miss it, and crave for more

    Reminds me of German spaghetti ice cream. Vanilla ice pressed into spaghetti strands on top of whipped cream. Pureed strawberries as the “sauce” with grated white chocolate acting as “cheese”.

    Eat your pizza or pasta like you want to. Nobody sane cares. Just don’t name your dish wrong. A la carbonara is not made with cream, a ragou a la bolognese is not just mince and tomato sauce and a real pizza is not that ugly frozen disk.

        Carbonara is made with cubes of ham

        with cubes or slices of Guanciale or Pancetta to be correct

        and green peas

        nice variation but not the traditional way

          People that care about “traditional” food preparation to the point of policing the behavior of others deserve to get trolled.

    There’s this café in Nagoya, Japan, that serves sweet spaghetti: the spaghetti are flavoured with strawberry or chocolate and then you have fruits and sauces on top. It’s delicious.

      I tried something like this the last time I saw a “strawberries and pasta” post and it was pretty good actually.

      Haven’t made it again since though so that‘s maybe saying something…

    Ive recently been to Italy. Every pizzeria had a Pizza wurstl on their menu. It was pizza with sliced up sausage and French fries. I think pineapple and ham is much better in comparison.

        As an Italian kid I used to love it. As an adult not so much…

        I believe the lowest point in my life was reached by getting a full kebab pizza (meat, lettuce, onions, tomato, mayonnaise, spicy sauce, etc…), and then dumping a whole portion of french fries on top.

        Now I miss the days when I could eat something like that and still fill mostly human afterwards.

    Meanwhile in Hungary:

    • Krumplis tészta - pasta w/ crushed tatos, fried onions, bacon or kolbász and paprika
    • Káposztás tészta - cabbage pasta with sugar and black pepper sautéed in lard
    • Grízes tészta - pasta with semolina wheat (think cream of wheat), powdered sugar and peach or apricot jam
    • Túrós csusza - pasta w/ dry cottage cheese, bacon and fried onion, served with sour cream
    • Mákos tészta - poppy seed pasta, mixed with butter and sprinkled with powdered sugar

    Just the tip of the ice berg.

      I don’t think these are so crazy, if you compare to pizzocheri or other stuff from the north of Italy it has a quite similar character

        Yes. It’s basically cottage cheese that’s more pressed. Has a granular texture. It’s harder to find in NA, but is all over Europe.

        I’m Canada, after the shuttering of Western creamery in Ontario (which also used to make cream cheese), it’s only the M&C brand that I can find in the east.

    If you’re not sure about this, start small. Try a spinach salad tossed with nuts like walnuts or pecans and sliced strawberries and a sweet balsamic with a little grated romano. Seriously, give it a go, it’s healthy and tastes amazing.

    Remember, tomato is a fruit, it’s just not sweet. But we then add heaps of sugar to tomato sauce to make it sweet. Fruit like strawberry is already sweetened, it makes perfect sense on paper.

    What’s throwing everyone is that our first experiences with sweet fruit flavors is always candy or pastries and we have a hard time shaking that association as strictly appropriate.

      Remember, tomato is a fruit, it’s just not sweet.

      Shitty supermarket tomatoes aren’t sweet. Homegrown tomatoes can be very sweet and very delicious.

        Some of us live in places where tomatoes don’t grow very well. I could grow them where I live but yields are terrible without a greenhouse, which I don’t have. At least I should be getting an allotment soon to grow stuff in though, but won’t be going with tomatoes.

            Sure, but potatoes are worthless in comparison. On a £/kg basis its one of the cheapest possible foods to buy so it isn’t really worth growing them myself when I can get them for almost nothing.

        Aside from the Americanized version, that sounds wonderful, I love the inclusion of mint.
