actually in america we just refer to all pasta as 'tomato sauce'

@s1ocki that is fair -- i have not tried the best of the best (i think the best chicken i have had is probs romados (i had portugalia's and tbh i didn't like it as much) and the best pasta i had is n/a because i have just had junk pasta) but the two of them are just so maligned in my mind by the imitators that i can't separate the great from the swaths of junk out there. especially chicken. for every delicious bird there are 500 pieces of crap that are like "well, we need to put a meat in-- how about chicken cos it kinda just feels like meat in the mouth and tastes like water with a little dirt in it" dishes. i'm scarred.
plus, i love indian food.

but actually like if you have a pasta recco in the city let me know (esp. if it doesn't cost 1 arm+1 leg) because i am open to repoening communication with this dish from which i am estranged.

yeah i eat pasta as much as anything else, but i mean it's basically just an edible container for actual food

and are choosing the more varied and flavoursome dish
I eat way more indian food than pasta and absolutely prefer indian food to italian food, but curry is just a spice to me
― iatee, Wednesday, 28 July 2010 15:02 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah but this poll was started by persons who do not generally mean the spice when they say "curry."

I mean we could get into the whole history of of the use of the term "curry" which is a whole diff colonial-related thing or we could just admit that the group of dishes included in what Britishers mean by "curry" just knocks pasta out cold

Bacon, Chicken, Pasta, Salad. (Though I would take pizza or hard cheeses over bacon, fwiw.)

What exactly are the hard cheeses under question here? Cheddar? Parmesan?
― Gravel Puzzleworth, Wednesday, 28 July 2010 15:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Good cheddar on its own destroys 90 percent of this poll so it doesn't matter really

not gonna get in a whole thing about it ok just sayin that was my experience & I'm a guy who used to special-order hamsteaks from Missouri
well I hear ya but I've done my time as a veggie and there's enough special meats that I miss too much to go back to it

good dry-cured ham for a start

I've done my time as a veggie too - I didn't get enough iron. I'd be vegetarian if I could be a lazy one. no real attachment to meat tbh.

I'm fortunate in that my job allows me luxuriant amounts of time in the kitchen when I'm not away - I'm the cook in my house, & I usually start meal-planning for dinner around midday. When I'm out on the road at work, eating well is a challenge for sure
