    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.

    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

      He’ll rather gain strange kinks. Losing weight with Polish cuisine is impossible.

      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

    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.

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

    That’s what you get for siding with Hitler!

      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…

    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.

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

      The Italian version linked above is a dessert/ sweet breakfast treat:

      2 tablespoons lemon juice

      1/2 lemon zest

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

      That’s not even remotely the worst way we’ve bastardized italian pizza.

      Also, we could dive deeper and talk about italian food before tomatoes were introduced, but I don’t think Americans are ready for that yet.

      it’s really nice! you get some short pasta, usually the tube or the swirly type, then add either plain yoghurt or cottage cheese, then sliced strawberries, of course, and sugar to taste :)

      can be served either hot or cold!

    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.

      Tbh that sounds fine to me. I’ve had potato on pizza, so that sounds pretty similar.
