Parmesan at #1 :sick:

 

That's the worst cheese imo

I'm glad nobody is writing it 'Parmesian', which is what I often seem to hear in TV shows for some weird reason :p

It's definitely not my favorite cheese by any means, but pasta wouldn't be pasta without a bit of parmesan.

Considering there are a billion kinds of cheese, I have no idea exactly how to translate everything, but I believe what I put on my pasta is a kind of Gouda cheese (the 'young' one, not the 'old' cheese, yuck). Coincidentally we recently had parmesan cheese on pasta, but that was rather disappointing, it tasted so....meh.

 

Do you actually use parmesan though? Or that kind of Kraft-from-a-bottle stuff? :p

it might be weird when said by someone who doesn't eat any sort of cheese for any reason, but I'm pretty sure nobody from the American Continent here has ever tried the true Parmigiano Reggiano (or Grana Padano), unless you've been in Italy ;)

sacrilege!

 

except for those 3/4 recipes actually created with cheese as one of the main ingredients, putting any cheese (and above all Parmigiano or even more Pecorino) on a pasta dish, it just ruins that dish, changing its taste

 

and those who put cheese on seafood recipes, should be sentenced to Dante's Hell punishments! :bones:

To be honest, making a change to an Italian recipe you're going to make, serve and eat yourself, mentioning it to Italians and see them get crazy mad because that's not how their grandmother's grandma used to make it, is one of the most fun things in the world of food :p 

 

Something I often think of when breaking a couple of hands of spaghetti in half before putting them in the boiling water.

There's really nobody (okay, maybe except that one Malaysian comedian who thinks not owning a rice cooker is a crime against humanity) that is more needlessly pretentious about their cuisine than the Italians. Even the French have less of a stick up their arses.

 

IDGAF what anyone in Europe thinks, Napolitan spaghetti is good, and it's even better seasoned with Italian tears.

The purists are really missing out on that one. Ham and pineapple is a classic combination for a reason.

    • need to work on the celebrations... or just drop them?   Btw, these jerseys suck and I remember Zambia playing in all white with red numbers. At least they have orange on national flag but still...    
    • British Columbia in general and Vancouver in particular are awesome and it’s great more people got to discover it thanks to Vancouver 2010.
    • And of course the British being famous for curmudgeons, there were always plenty of curmudgeons to quote.  Then of course from the opening ceremony and the cycle race on the very first morning it was obviously going to be triumph, so everyone just shut up for a while.  
    • Yep, the amount of emergency services I heard at some point was a little extreme (for our little town), so I checked what was going on and saw they were all being called to a specific location. Until then I thought maybe it was part of a parade of trucks and agricultural vehicles that was on it's way from the next town over, decorated with lights and stuff.   Since I knew it was on the parade route, I was sure one of those big vehicles had hit people somehow (there were, besides the many vehicles, also two helicopters on the way, meaning it certainly wasn't about a single victim).   We picked our bikes and went to take a look, absolutely chaos in the area. Never saw so many services combined together, fire trucks from 20km away, ambulance after ambulance came racing by, people frantically trying to make way for them (the roads weren't really closed yet).   While there we heard someone who had been close say that the parade hadn't arrived yet and what seemed to have happened was that a car from the other side came onto the roundabout and simply never turned. "It's a massive drama over there, unbelievable", he said.   Quite quickly rumours started spreading of course, the first one turned out to be true: a middle aged (local) woman was behind the wheel and seems to have become unwell. Local security camera showed the car going at high speed right before the roundabout.   Plenty of rumours going around in terms of who were involved of course, and people keeping each other up to date to see if they know this or that family and such...   Never expected my little town to be big news in the Netherlands, even including some breaking broadcasts, live reporters and everything, damn. By far the biggest thing to happen here in my memory  
    • This is the home town of our very own @heywooduand @brunamoura    
    • For me, these were very good Olympics, and British sport benefited greatly from them, and is still benefiting. I fear it will be much worse here. Canada also benefited very good on Vancouver 2010 – this is very good see in the medal standings of subsequent Winter Games after 2010 and earlier.
    • Nobody hates Britain more than the British media so… I recall it being quite a pessimistic tone before the London games started.
    • I'm curious what was written before London 2012? Did they attack their own country, or did they just keep quiet?
    • Other winners at the PanAm Sports Awards Junior 2025            
    • Very true point.  Although I think at this point everyone is just holding their collective breath until the test event.  The NHL isn't going to rage anymore until then because it's not like that would make the arena progress go any quicker
