In an effort to try and lower my cholesterol I thought I would try pulse pasta (recommended by a good friend who is a nutritionist).

Looks nice, simple napoletana style
View attachment 1265185

But idk.... It just tastes wrong lol. I want real pasta

Ok, I'm behind. Life speeds up and all that.

I didn't know standard pasta could increase cholesterol. Was this special "pasta" designed to reduce cholesterol?

What sort of pasta were you eating before? I have seen at the shops this thing that was described at pasta. It was dried out and the packet said you have to boil it for 10 minutes or something. Looked more like two minutes noodles. It was very cheap.

Real pasta contains eggs, I think eggs can increase cholesterol. But in pasta you'd have to eat a heap of it.

Are you vegetarian? I see no meat in that dish. Isn't red meat the main cause of cholesterol?

 

[Electronic_Renaissance]

Yep that's right. This is a combination of peas, lentils, borlotti beans and chickpeas.

I mean if you are gluten free at least you have this option. But I want my gluten lol

Have you heard of pizzoccheri? It is a buckwheat pasta that is naturally gluten free. No special process to make it that way, it's just how it is.

I've had it a few times, I really like it. Mind you, the traditional preparation will send your cholesterol through the roof.

It is normally prepared with cabbage and potatoes. Mixed with a HEAP of butter and cheese. It is so filling.

I never realised it until now but it would be vegetarian. The traditional preparation contains no meat.

I've never seen the pasta at local stores, you'd probably have to go to some import place to get it.

As does not putting those monstrous amounts of salt on every dish like I see so many people do. Dousing your food in salt, doesn't give your food more flavour, it just makes it all taste like salt -_-

Yep, I watch a lot of Ramsay clips and the amount of salt he puts on everything is insane. If he is cooking a steak or burger it is just salt it first, salt it while cooking and just keep salting. No wonder he is so angry, his blood pressure must be through the roof. He complains that everything tastes "bland" when he eats other peoples food. His taste buds are obviously fried from the amount of salt he eats.

Another one is the extra hot chillies. I eat curry and used to eat it quite spicy, but one day I realised that when it is extra spicy all I am tasting is the heat. It completely overwhelmes the rest of what's in the dish. I've never tried vindaloo, probably never will. It's not that I can't take the heat, I just think it overpoweres everything else in the dish.

AND, don't get me started on those restaurants who try to fake being high end by offering "cracked pepper" before you have even tried the dish. Let me try it first and then I'll decide on any extra salt or pepper it needs.

Supersuns - stop annoying my favourite moose or I will get Brenton Davy to sort you out

Just let me know when and where. Laying out that campaigner would get a pleasure!

This intrigues and terrifies me at the same time.

From what I've seen, the capacity to film dumb shit is a decent pathway to TikTok success.

From a comically oversized pepper-mill to boot.

Good man. Vindaloo is white people brown food. I can state, I have never and neither have my friends ever eaten a vindaloo in our lives

The British Indian version of vindaloo calls for the meat to be marinated in vinegar, sugar, fresh ginger and spices, then cooked with more spices. Then, spices are added.

Spices man, spices. The colonisers love the spices.

So Vindaloo is more a British-Indian thing? Much like Australia has it's Australian-Chinese thing.

Just something adapted for the tastes of the locals?

It originates in Goa where local chef adapted a Portuguese pork dish. Goa was mostly Catholic at the time so the chefs there didn't have the same religious qualms about using pork. British traders brought it back from there and spiced it up because of course.
