    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.

    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.

        Tomatoless? How can that even be called pizza? Wars could be started over this, I think we should just not say any more.

        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!

    Reminds me of German spaghetti ice cream. Vanilla ice pressed into spaghetti strands on top of whipped cream. Pureed strawberries as the “sauce” with grated white chocolate acting as “cheese”.

      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…

      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!

      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.

    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.

        Some of us live in places where tomatoes don’t grow very well. I could grow them where I live but yields are terrible without a greenhouse, which I don’t have. At least I should be getting an allotment soon to grow stuff in though, but won’t be going with tomatoes.

            Sure, but potatoes are worthless in comparison. On a £/kg basis its one of the cheapest possible foods to buy so it isn’t really worth growing them myself when I can get them for almost nothing.

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

    • Káposztás tészta - cabbage pasta with sugar and black pepper sautéed in lard
    • Grízes tészta - pasta with semolina wheat (think cream of wheat), powdered sugar and peach or apricot jam
    • Túrós csusza - pasta w/ dry cottage cheese, bacon and fried onion, served with sour cream

      I don’t think these are so crazy, if you compare to pizzocheri or other stuff from the north of Italy it has a quite similar character

        Yes. It’s basically cottage cheese that’s more pressed. Has a granular texture. It’s harder to find in NA, but is all over Europe.

        I’m Canada, after the shuttering of Western creamery in Ontario (which also used to make cream cheese), it’s only the M&C brand that I can find in the east.

    AFAIK, there are many countries that have pizza with ingredients considered unusual outside that country. For example, in Brazil they have chocolate pizza.

      Pizza Hut in the US used to have dessert pizzas. It was a thin pie covered in a compote/jam with a little poweded sugar on it. It was about as meh as it sounds.
