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.
The real reason why this is the final century of human history.
I have read that they are really good.
Maybe I should try some one day.
I buy dried pasta in different shapes and mix them in the same container.
That’s what you get for siding with Hitler!
Actually, what you just did is something that many Italian families do
For a minute I thought you meant seasonal shapes, like mixing boxes of Paw Patrol mac with Thanksgiving turkey-shaped pasta.
Yeah them too
Tomatoes are berries. Strawberries are not berries.
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”.
Wait where could one acquire such deliciousness
I remember having that quite often as a kid in the 1980s. It is very delicious - somehow the consistency gives it that special something. Softer than solid ice cream because it melts a little quicker.
Fun fact - the Germans didn’t invent it, it was probably an Italian ice cream shop owner living in Germany, although several others have claimed inventing it.
huh… i need a spaghetti press i guess
Straight to jail.
Username does not check out.
I was joking.
Oh, ok we are so damn funny.
Maybe the username is expressing an intense attraction.
I would eat the fuck out of that, it sounds amazing
Straight to jail.
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.
… Dry cottage cheese?
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.
That sounds like cotija to me
Not aged. And not as dry.
It still has moisture and is fresh. Fairly short half life. Just not as creamy as your usual cottage cheese.
that sounds like cottage cheese i might actually like. i may be speaking with my cheese boy tomorrow
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
lol, the plates are empty. “Thanks but no.”
I was all over that until the raisins. Disgustayn!
Broccoli lasagna is wonderful. This is not.
True
That’s why people keep invading you guys
Yeah man about that… We can send you our strawberries and local pasta. No need to come again! Bitte…
I believe italian make risoto with strawberries.
Don’t even get me started on how good strawberries are on pizza
I won’t
Thanks for the idea!!
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.
You’re leaving out a pretty important ingredient difference between pancakes and pasta.
Strawberrirs?
Sugar.
Pancakes don’t usually have sugar, though
I want you to boil your pancakes and put tomato sauce on them.
Never had savoury pancakes? Sugar is optional. And leaving it out opens up every cake leaving your pan to be one or the other, as the sugarless ones still taste great with sweet toppings.
You don’t know how I make my pasta.
😛
I eat my pancakes without sugar, but with onions, cheese, sour cream, garlic and dill.
I also eat pasta with jam.
I once had a school lunch (public school cafeteria, everyone had the same) that consisted of apple soup, apple pasta and one fresh apple for dessert.
Fear me.
I don’t like sugar as much as most seem to, based on a lot of foods. I like some, but much lower totals. Unsweet pancakes with a sweet sauce or topping sounds great.
Even granola is usually too sweet for me. The Muesli I sometimes find at Aldi has 6g per serving, while the granola I get usually has 14g or so, and I much prefer the Muesli. I think 10g or less is ideal, and I can add honey or sugar or some fruit/dried fruit if I need more.
Instructions unclear: put sugar in my pasta carbonara
Japan loves dumping sugar (ie ketchup) in pasta. I love a ton of weird food but it’s gross af
I mean, at least in tomato sauces some sugar goes a long way.
I’m going to try both of those things now
