Made the lasagna without the lasagna

The first thing I'd do is learn to spell lasagne.

I’ve absolutely loved this thread @Brainfogtothemax, I think your replies have been brilliant (am also a secret fan of double and even treble carbs!) I have rarely seen an OP 70 posts in maintaining their level of humour and delicious naiveness, I salute you and your boiled potatoes.

Cottage pie then 😛😛😛

Oh, there's a melon now. I'd nail the entrée before tackling dessert 😂

More cordon bleurgh than cordon bleu.....

She can't, it's not lamb.........😂

I think its actually shepherd's pie

Yep, peas, beans, pulses, legumes, inbetweenies beanies, lentils, mentals, all classed as carbs

They contain some protein. They are not protein rich but do serve as a source of protein. More than your average carrot for example.

@Brainfogtothemax ~ just wondering what's on the menu this evening at Brain Fog Towers?

This is the funniest thread I've ever seen. I think it's weird to have chips with lasagne but I've never in my life heard of potatoes with it. In fact, I'm astounded that anyone voluntary eats boiled potatoes, but that could be me. And the outrage at eating greens outside summer!!! Live a little OP. I very often have a full on salad alongside my lasagne in all seasons.

OP you inspired me, I'm having fish fingers, potato waffles and (the kids will have beans) cauliflower and broccoli cheese for dinner tonight. No buttery boiled potato's available in my house at the moment, but we always have fish fingers, waffles and beans in.

Most foods are a combination of protein, fats and carbs, @Italianasoitis. I wouldn't call kale, which has about 10g of carbs per 100g, half of which are fibre, a "carb".

As @ErinBell01 says, beans are a good source of protein, so I definitely wouldn't reduce those to "just a carb" either, not sure how that would be helpful for anybody.

Those are still classified as carbs. All food is either protein, carb or fat. All vegetables and fruits are carbs.

Just when I thought the world was becoming even more depressing day by day this thread has reminded me that there is still light and laughter to be found 👏😂
The beans comment has made my day…. I think we all know the poster was referring to your standard veg ie, broccoli, cabbage etc. You say potato I say potatoe, you say baked bean I say legume 😂
Anyway for next time the boiled potato’s that were too cooked to be sliced were CRYING OUT to be roasted with some garlic and rosemary 🇮🇹

Peas, beans, chickpeas, lentils etc are legumes and are all vegetables as they're part of a plant. But they're also classified as a type of protein - very useful if you're a vegetarian or vegan so that you eat enough protein.
Someone said all vegetables are carbs. Many veg has hardly any carbs eg leafy greens such as spinach, kale, broccoli, cabbage, cucumber, peppers, green beans.

Vegetables are defined as the edible parts of plants. So pulses are vegetables. Is definitely call peas a vegetable, so quite content that beans are too 😊

We used to have boiled, buttery potatoes, side salad and garlic bread with our lasagne. I'm the youngest, only girl with 3 older brothers. Them guys can eat!

You sound beanist to me.

A right mean bean you are.

I have investigated Beangate further, and found to my amazement that baked beans are in fact counted nutritionally as a vegetable. Even though they are not vegetables. I still think it's bonkers- surely it's possible to recommend baked beans as a good source of protein/vitamins/minerals without having to count it as a vegetable?

Counted as vegetables, nutritionally vegetables. Same as lentils, chickpeas, other beans and peas

Never wanted the laugh emoji more ...

🤦‍♀️baked beans are not vegetables. They are pulses.

Im watching an old episode of masterchef, dont even know what year its from

Some nutter has served up a lasagne with open round sheets, crab in between, NO SAUCE on top and no accompanying potatoes

She went out.

John and Gregggg specifically said it was because she didnt serve up spuds with it.

Did you cook these potatoes last Thursday and then forget how to warm them up today as well?

This is one of the most bizarre threads I've read. Pasta shapes is pasta sheets just a different shape. Who in the world apart from OP serves boiled potatoes with lasagne? And who adds cheese to a white sauce and makes a weird bolognaise sauce?!?!?! OP you need some serious cooking lessons!
