fightoffyour Posted December 5, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 5, 2022 Clearly not bread or potato, that would be lunacy. So we're left with pasta or rice. I eat more pasta - carbonara is bi-weekly meal and ragu is one of my specialties, though I would miss paella and risotto. As a curry accompaniment I can live without rice, my carbs of choice there would be the breads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A BLEND OF GARLIC, HERBS, TOMATOES, LIME AND SEARING HEAT COURTESY OF 12 MILLION SCOVILLE UNIT OLEORESIN. ABSOLUTELY NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. Insanely hot with a hint of garlic. An extra ordinarily hot limited-edition sauce, use sparingly to add real fire to any dish. that company is reasonably local to me and they always have a stall at the christmas markets in the area. if you want a really hot sauce from there that you can actually use on things then this one is lovely: https://www.justchillies.co.uk/product/dark-habanero/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rice. I do like rice with a curry, but could replace it with a naan bread/chip combo I have pasta 3 or 4 times a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it's a meal marathon runners have before a marathon, and as marathons are not part of my typical day I just try to avoid it. I think I've almost demonised pasta in my head. Plus my ability to eat my body weight in it doesn't help either. I'd say I have it maybe once a month. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's everything surrounding it and piled on top that's the problem! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never eat 'a bowl of rice' to the same extent. It's a side to a curry with vegetables etc. So in that sense it's not as dangerous I should probably be demonising white bread moreso, but that's not happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted December 6, 2022 Moderator Share Posted December 6, 2022 The croissants alone annoy me, they look shite, they don't really look like they are made with Charentes butter What are they calling these shit croissants with rubbery cheese and fish fingers? FIsh finger butties are ace, but you need to make them with shitey whitey and tomato ketchup not faux french breakfast pastries I'm also dreading to think how they heat those up 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
