What the fuck do you use that fork for? The proper way to eat moules is to use an empty shell as a tweezer type contraption.

>>3142

Well obviously I used it to get the meat out of the first shell, so I could use it for the rest of them in the way you described. Tch.

Pasta with tomato sauce. As in sauce freshly made from ripe tomatoes, not disgusting runny ketchup poured from a jar. Some onion, some garlic, olive oil and basil, maybe a spoonful of creme fraiche if there's some in the fridge.

>>3146
I think everyone on this board knows that eating pasta with ketchup would be taking a massive shit on all that is good and decent in the world.

They're talking about shitty pasta sauces from jars, not actual ketchup.

Now you've got me thinking about HP or Daddies brown sauce and pasta :|.

Spaghetti and cheese sauce. Simple as fuck, minimal washing up. Few slices of tomato as a side, or some chunky tomato sauce if I can be fucked to make it. Heaven.

>>3147
Well seeing as you mention it, when I was a wee little shit, I did sometimes have ketchup with my fish finger, pea and cheese spaghetti.

poached salmon is pretty fucking epic and a piece of piss to do. with some new potatoes and that long purple shitty looking but delicious broccoli

Chicken noodle soup.

Noodle in the pan, add fresh cooked chicken, some stock and some herbs.

Talking of pasta then, Spaghetti carbonara is pretty easy to make and damned tasty to boot.

The humble omelette (cheese, meat, whatever's to hand), when done right, delivers some of the best result:effort.
But I've got a hankering for moules right now, for some reason, and there's not a decent fish shop in reach :(

Sauerkraut. Pickled cabbage and sausages boiled in beer for an hour and a half.

Kippers and poached eggs. Had them this morning, made Mrs. Wife very happy, and did my poachies in ramekins I'll have you know.

The Lazy sod's Spaghetti Tagliatelle

1 half bottle of Campo Viejo Rioja, 2x GIA Sun Dried tomato Puree ,Beef Mince, 2 cloves of garlic and 1 pack of Tagliatelle.

Fry the beef mince up, throw in the tomato puree and Rioja then crush the two cloves into the mix and then let it simmer down. Once the Tagliatelle pasta is done its OM NOM NOM time.

>>3178
Always put the garlic in to fry along with the mince, when doing anything. It helps the flavours permeate the meat.

Microchips

You're a bad, bad person.
When they can't make them look appealing in the adverts, you know they're rough. How nasty are they, in real life?

>>3182

They're noice.

QUICKETTY QUICK MICROCHIPS

>I was not at all impressed so the other went in the bin?. Mainly because of what I had read on microwave food as I will tell you below.

>Now, microwave food? Its not good stuff from what I have been reading. Microwaves cook your food using well? Microwaves of course. Known as radiation. It pounds your food with microwave radiation which is known to cause Cancer and many other illnesses. The particles in your food are vibrated vigorously until heat is produced. Not healthy at all. Who knows what they are messing with?

>Also when the microwave is in use it is sending these bad microwaves around your home. These are absorbed in your body and are known to cause cancer and other illnesses. Like they say with mobile phones causing tumours? A mobile phone uses a minute amount of microwaves to communicate but your microwave over can use up to 1000 Watts of power! Ahhh, get rid of it. I have chucked mine.

>Anyway back to the chips:

Ah ha ha ha, fantastic.

I raged a bit.

Get a baguette, a short one will do. Cut it in half then cut it in half again long ways. Take two of those halves and put some cheese on there with some lea and perrins on top, some salt too. Grill it until the cheese is nicely melted. Nom.

If this doesn't make sense. Sorry, blame the drink.
Also, If someone would like to improve this snack, please do and post it here.

>>3198

I often get baguette halves, put some tinned chopped tomato (mixed with tomato paste) grated cheddar and chopped mozzarella (if I have any) on and grill that lot for some five minute pizza thingys. Lovely.

>>3195

Bolognaise Tagliatelle (I was somewhat drunk when I wrote that post)

>>3179

I used to do that but the flavouring is quite strong if you throw it straight into the mince not that it is wrong to do it that way but I prefer to water down by adding it into the sauce but we all have our own ways of cooking :)

>>3203
If you find putting in the garlic first is too strong then add less garlic. Its what I used to when I was a student, because it meant using less garlic, so I could spend my cash on more useful things. Alcohol mostly.

Pasta pesto with cheese.

Boil pasta, drain, add a jar of pesto and grate some nice cheese over it, mix well, give it a minute or so to let the residual heat melt the cheese slightly. Nom nom nom.

>>3242
Pasta and pesto is my favourite thing in the whole world.

>Boil pasta, drain, add a jar of pesto
How much pasta?

That's a fuckton of pesto if it's not for a crowd.

>>3247
I usually cook enough for two hungry people with some left over for a quick snack on the next day. This involves 600-800g of dry pasta, a 190g jar of pesto and enough grated cheese to cover the top of the pot I mix it all in.

>>3249
You can never serve or eat enough pasta, I am with you.
