The great spag bol debate
Re: The great spag bol debate
Saves a lot of arseing about waiting for it to reduce to the correct constituency though, great back up and as i've said makes not a jot of difference to the taste.

Re: The great spag bol debate
Making this tonight as it happens...
500g Good Quality Minced Beef
6-8 Large Red Plum Tomatoes roughly chopped with the skin removed
2 large White Onions diced
4 Cloves of Garlic sliced razor thin
3-4 Grated Carrots
1/2 Grated Celeriac
Basil...because I love it
Salt and Pepper seasoning
Using egg pasta sort of like a tagliatelle as it's all I've got in but it'll do the job.

Re: The great spag bol debate
Fresh plum tomatoes are nice but they take longer to cook.
Re: The great spag bol debate
If it's not got fag butts in it then its not REAL spag bol!
Re: The great spag bol debate
I say, make loads of what Spag you like and the next day add chilli, pinto and kidney beans re-heat ( burn it up a bit bring out the flavor)and have it with rice.
Presto, Tex Mex
with a beer of your choice or Cider, Cider is cool as it cuts through the fat.

I eat my peas with honeyPieOPah wrote:a fairly simple method is to use a spoon and a fork. The spoon holds the pasta in place while you get it all onto your fork. Voila easy to eat now.
The most annoying food IMHO is the garden pea. Now getting that to stay on your fork is tricky!
I've done it all my life
It makes the peas taste funny
But it keeps them on the knife
Re: The great spag bol debate
A decent tablespoon of cocoa powder does wonders for both spag bol but even better in a chilli.

Re: The great spag bol debate
Good idea, but I'd probably add cumin and thyme. I think they're essential in a chilli.GARYSMIFF wrote:I say, make loads of what Spag you like and the next day add chilli, pinto and kidney beans re-heat ( burn it up a bit bring out the flavor)and have it with rice.
