Or, a white sauce base for cheese sauce, which is what I have in my lasagne.

Let me see: for me a meat lasagne is: beef in tomato sauce layer (fairly basic type that I'd do with spag bol), then part-cooked lasagne sheet with cheese sauce (made with the roux base; 2/3 cheddar for flavour and 1/3 Red Leicester for colour), then another beef layer, then a second layer of part-cooked lasagne sheets, another layer of cheese sauce and topped with cheese.

I also use aubergine in my vegetarian alternative.

You just like saying, "Aubergine."

I made some pickled eggs yesterday, with shallots and peppercorns and turmeric. They'll be a lovely yellow when they're ready in a few days.

Aubergine in lasagna though? Sounds controversial

It does have a lovely ring to it.

I'm not a pickled egg person, but I am fond of pickled onions. Salad weather should be... hopefully... just around the corner, so that'll be the time for pickled onions and beetroot.

What is the best drink to go with carbonara?

Onions make nice quick pickles, a little vinegar, a little sugar, a little time for them to get acquainted.

The woman who put together some of the pickled egg recipes I use recounted a conversation with her father about them, he saying, "Oh, sure, bar food," and her saying, "When did you go to bars?" His answer was, "Before I met your mother." I have a vague recollection of a large jar of such eggs on the bar-back in an old establishment somewhere, this being in my dissolute youth.

A nice Gavi, perhaps. The old rules about red with meat, white with fish don't really apply anymore. Basically, drink what you like.

I've never been in a bar that sold pickled eggs; I'm not sure if this is a US thing or the bars I've frequented.

On the subject of pickling, I've just vaguely remembered my mother making this sweet onion mixture when I was little, as an on-the-day alternative when we were out of pickled onions. I remember parboiled onions, vinegar and sugar, and... that's it. I really should get that recipe, because I'm sure my memory's missing a few pieces.

Interesting pick

I may try a bottle or two later

Gavi is nice. I picked that because carbonara has that cream and eggs and all, the acidity of the Gavi will cut through that.

Has anyone ever had ginger ice cream?

Has anyone ever had ginger ice cream?

I think I tried it once. I don't think I necessarily liked it.

The Race, on the other hand...

[The Free Joy State]

Has anyone ever had ginger ice cream?

No. I've never seen it around here.

I can imagine it would be quite tasty, though (but, then, I do enjoy snacking on pieces of crystallised ginger).

What I do like, though, ginger-wise: lemon and ginger cheesecake. That's delicious.

I've seen it.But when I heard the word ginger, I turned it down. Ginger is terrible

I love ginger. It’s so herbaceous and very good for the throat. I personally love it. What I do hate is garlic. It stinks.

I prefer dark beer though

[All Countryhumans]

I didn't try it, I guess I'm missing out!

Pasta is okay, I hear LOTS of people LOVE IT! It seems you're one of them!

While it might taste bland at first, rice is very nutritious and it's also very cheap and easy to cook!

You should try it!

What about chow mein noodles that are basically baked tiny baguettes

Garlic is so flavoursome. I use it in about four/five different meals a week. Very nutritious food, garlic.

EDIT: Though cooking is shown to inhibit its nutrients.

No idea if you would like it, I found it delicious.

I know a snack, a whole fresh garlic wrapped in chinese pancakes.It's delicious, but the disadvantage is that the smell of the mouth will be bad after eating

[Twicetagram and JYPe]

Y'all legit like ginger and garlic i-

i Am DiSgUsTeD

But seriously though, they suck. Is it an adult thing to get over with the taste of garlic and actually like it?
I only like garlic bread and garlic chili sauce(they both go well).

If you like garlic bread, there's hope for you yet.
