The Food Discussion Thread I

[Twicetagram and JYPe]

have guys ever had egg with spaghetti and meat sauce? Its amazing! what are some other recipes that egg should be added to?

IMO spicy/tom yam noodles with sunny-side ups are quite good
Also, have you tried salted yolk chips?

[Katganistan]

Fanta or Crush?

Neither. Jarritos.

I love their lime soda.

So aubergines - what is the point? They don't taste good and have a horrible texture.

To each his own taste.

They can be delicious if prepared properly.

Don't lump us pineapple-pizza lovers in with the Anglos

For that matter, I'm from the anglosphere and Ive never eaten a biscuit with gravy. It doesn't sound like something I'd eat at all.

But pineapple pizza... ahh!

Aubergines, the trick is to soak them for 30 mins in salted water. The salt doesn't impact the taste, but it makes the difference between a lousy aubergine that doesn't cook right and a really tasty one.

Roasted aubergine with pasta is good. Or sliced and roasted and placed top of some rolled puff pastry (on top of tomato sauce and mozzarella) with mixed sliced roast peppers and tomatoes (cook in the oven for about 25-30 mins, until cooked and golden). Or roasted and served with salad leaves with a balsamic dressing. Or served in a vegetable lasagne.

Pasta Norma.....

spaghetti carbonara is amazing when done right; egg is sometimes added

The "sauce" is egg.

Aubergine sounds weird. Eggplant is better. I like them. You brits have weird names for food.

History and Etymology for aubergine
French, from Catalan albergínia, from Arabic al-bādhinjān the eggplant, ultimately from Middle Indo-Aryan *vātiñjaṇa-, vātiṅgaṇa-

So arguably, the Brits got the name from the original language and the origins of it in South Asian and East Asian horticulture.

Eggplant is odd. It's nothing to do with eggs.

Aubergine was, maybe still is, French slang for meter-maids, because of the color of their uniforms.

[Shazbotdom]

Eggplant is the only thing egg cant fix. Everything else is improved by adding eggs.

Eggs with rice. Eggs with soup. Eggs with spaghetti. Eggs and chicken breasts. Eggs and steak. Scrambled Eggs. Eggs with scrambled eggs. Eggs with tuna. Eggs with bread. Eggs with Sandwiches. Eggs with eggs. Egg with pizza. The list goes on.

Well, there are some places where I don't push pineapple.

Eggplant is a better fit in those cases

Their Tamarind and Cola are pretty good too, if you’re ever curious to try them.

Controversially I like to chew on celery

I find it fascinating how you can’t break down the fiber strands completely

Sometimes I like to a bowl of fresh celeries and tomatoes mixed in some olive oil, lemon, and vinegar sauce

What's the deal with pineapple and pizza? Not being for or against it, but how and when did this all start?

[La Paz de Los Ricos]

Uh, it's just that tropical fruit shouldn't ever enter the same room as meat and cheese.

Does anyone just enjoy drinking plain white milk, or am I alone in that matter?

I'm fine with milk, but soy bean milk takes the prize.

Since pineapple is used in Asian cooking along with meat not sure why you think that.

I’m strange in that I cant drink raw/plain milk.

In fact, even when I have cereal, I have it with a glass of water to wash it down (no milk).

However, I’m okay with cheese and dairy products. Just not the milk itself.
