Quote: Ben @ 14th February 2014, 9:20 PM GMTThe pasta is more to add bite and texture.
And then you have the nerve to say you've eaten this:

Rice is even more tasteless than pasta!

Yes. Couldn't agree more. But I'd never pretend rice is wonderful. It's just an accompaniment. Now ... Potatoes ... That's a real tasty thing.

Quote: Ben @ 14th February 2014, 9:20 PM GMTI don't think anyone claims that plain pasta is a culinary treat.
Pasta and rice are both so damn yummy. I'll eat them plain or with lots of flavour. Either way, yum.

Two of the world's most popular foods!
Just had Chili Beef and Rice Burrito with hot salsa.
Dear God that beef I roasted last night was divine. It came out medium rare and was so tender and flavoursome I almost passed out. My finished dish with the pasta needs a few tweaks, but was still delicious.
My customary Marmite on toast for breakfast. It can only be beaten by porridge, but I'm too lazy to make it.

I just had 3 nut butter on toast, it's like peanut butter, but with cashews and hazelnuts chucked in as well. Nice, but rather expensive.
I do like a nice bowl of porridge, but as you say, it's fiddly to make. Plus, if you don't wash the bowl instantly it turns to cement.

The bowl's nothing, compared to the saucepan! You have to put water in it, then an hour later there's a horrible messy sludge that has to be scraped out, forced down the sink or it'll block it, then you have to clean the saucepan, and what's left of the porridge clogs the washing-up sponge, rendering it useless, so you have to throw it away and look for a new one, but that was the last one, so you have to go to the shop, and it's shut because of a death in the owner's family...
stick with toast.
I've just found out the importance of cooking the "roux". It happens to all young boys at some point!
I've cooked and made sauces many a time. But today I decided to try and just "blend all ingredients together", in this case, flour, butter, milk, parsley. Well, it works in the fact that the sauce thickens nicely but I found out the hard way that the flour doesn't cook properly this way! So my sauce tasted of flour and overpowered the parsley. Boy, was I red faced. I saved it somewhat by simmering the sauce until all the flour had "cooked out".
But now I know not to make that mistake again.
And that's why it was my best summer ever. The end.
