The Felt Memorial Food Thread.

[fait]

Honestly its on page 99, no reason you can't just start the new one and I can get my LOCK on.

To start off this thread, I wanna ask you guys: When you eat pasta such as spaghetti, do you mix the sauce into the noodles right away or do you eat the pasta with the sauce over it? The last couple of years, I've eaten my spaghetti the latter way. I do use a lot of sauce, however. When the pasta no longer has sauce on top of it, I add more sauce atop the uncovered pasta and resume eating.

On a related note, anybody eat some good pasta dishes? Spaghetti and tomato sauce has gotten old for me.

[Wheeeeeeatthins]

try pesto or add bell peppers to your sauce

The sauce gets mixed in if it's meatsauce. Yummy

Home-made challah is the most tastiest bread. I had some last week, let me tell you, the consistency and texture was like a snowball, but make out of bread and so warm and golden.

[EndWggn]

Always. But unlike Avi, I never eat meatsauce (at least not at school, which is the only place I've ever seen meatsauce served).
Speaking of pasta dishes, has anyone ever made their own macaroni and cheese? As in not from a box?

[fait]

One of my friends made it for us when I was over. It was pretty good. It's a lot blander than Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Deluxe, but given that he was using real-cheese, I could definitely relate to macaroni and cheese with real cheese melted in. It was a pleasant change of pace for me.

It doesn't sound like many people eat their pasta with the sauce on top...

[GreyMario]

Sauce does not go on top of pasta because that means the flavor is only in one place.

[fait]

It's not a conservative way to eat pasta, but I put sauce on top because there's a stronger flavor of sauce along with the spaghetti. It's sorta like mixing the pasta and sauce together in your mouth rather than externally.

[Blueberry]

I put my sauce on top because my family likes really thick sauce with lots of bell peppers and mushrooms and stuff and you just kind of end up eating them together anyway?

Gotta mix it up!

Drinking a ginger beer right now. Awfully tasty.

Tomorrow's gonna be a mystery! I'm hanging out with friends tomorrow and they live a ways away, so I'm gonna be in unfamiliar territory. I hope there are good places to eat! On top of that, I hope I won't have to pay too much.

Orville Reddenbachers nom nom nom.

Orville Reddenbachers at some point in time made this special box that came with butter packets, one for each pack of popcorn. I loved that stuff but Mom wouldn't get it very much since it was 3 bucks for only 3 bags of popcorn and butter.

They also made huge bottles of butter (if it's actually melted butter, I have no idea) that you could pour. We tried that but I wasn't sure if that was the same thing as the butter packets in the boxes or not. It must not've been cuz I liked that too.

Thanks a lot, Wes. Now I want popcorn.

So,I'm at a journalism conference in Pheonix, with several other people from the school newspaper.

I took a nap today after the various dicussion panels, and ended up sleeping through a text message saying that people were going to dinner.

At ten at night I was wandering around the banking district of Pheonix, looking for some place still open. As I was about to give up and go back to the hotel, I crossed paths with the girls from our group, who said "Stephen, want to go to dinner?" At this turn of good fortune, I replied, "Oh, hell! Yes!"

Apparently, that is not in fact what they said. What they said was, "Stephen, want to go to Hooters."

That's how I ended up eating a tiny meal at, well, Hooters, while the editor-in-chief spent three hours finishing her pint of beer.

The food there is predictably horrible.

Same here.

Mix the pasta into warm sauce while it's still hot! Toss 'em and make sure that the pasta is coated thoroughly with sauce. Then eat it while it's all still nice and warm. The noodles absorb some of the sauce's flavour and it comes out quite delicious. You should add some salt while the pasta is cooking if you don't already do that to improve the taste of the pasta.

Also, in my opinion, it's pasta with sauce, not sauce with pasta! Try experimenting with other types of pasta aside from spaghetti. Different types of pasta go with different types of sauces and such. Just do a search and you should find something you might like to try.

What kind of cheese was it? American? Cause sometimes using cheeses not usually seen in Mac n' Cheese can be interesting

Right!

Do you mean all the sauce or just some? My mom mixes in a little bit of the sauce before serving but I always thought it was just so that the noodles don't stick.

Sauce does not go on pasta, either. Cheese does.

[Lady Drakonis]

Sauce and cheese go on pasta. If it is missing either, it is an empty shell of a meal.

[Wojjan]

you are an empty shell of a meal

[Lady Drakonis]

The empty shell part I can live with. Not the meal part.

Please don't eat me.

For serious though, most tomato sauce pastas become all the more awesome with parmesan or mozzeralla cheese (cheddar is sometimes acceptable). The inverse is not true though. Pastas that are made with cheese, specifically macaroni and cheese, so just fine without sauce. Exception being if you like ketchup with it or something. I personally don't.

I think we can all agree that cheese is just awesome.

I've never seen American shredded cheese, so it wasn't that for sure. It had to have been Colby Jack or a mixture of mozzarella and cheddar. It was some sort of white cheese and some sort of yellow cheese. This was at least a year ago, so I can't be certain.

Sauce does not go on pasta, either. Cheese does.

I put sauce on top of the pasta, then cheese on top of the sauce. It tastes SOOOOO good this way.

The principal of not quite mixing things together externally also applies to Chipotle burritos. Except with Chipotle, you don't have the option to mix your ingredients together before you eat it . You technically could, but you would be tearing apart your burrito and I doubt it'd be worth the mess for most.

Turkey and pastrami sandwich, rye bread, pickle.

Best meal I can make with my current supplies and a broken microwave.

Where is this Chocolate Map? I want it.

[Blueberry]

We will be attempting chocolate fondue for the first time in a little while.

I will be sure to let y'all know how it goes.
