Finally figured out how to do autumn/winter - two large helpings of creamy pasta (mushroom, truffles rigatoni) >>> in a coma by 8pm >>> feel fucking awesome today.

Please share your carbiest recipes!

I worked that out a long time ago. Carbs really, really help me with my anxiety. BUT I am now a size 18 so...
If you want a good carb recipe - an ideal dinner would be home made shepherd’s pie with baked beans followed by home made jam and coconut sponge cake with custard.

I just read this as ‘crabs are amazing’ 😂 I was hoping for some great crab facts.

I do like bread though!

It’s got to be veggie lasagne with chips and garlic bread for me.

My fav lunch for me is pasta with stilton, cheddar, double cream, baby spinach, nuts and soy sauce with massive amount of black pepper. No wonder I'm not losing any weight.

There's a cafe near me that does Mac and cheese wraps and sandwiches. Delicious carby heaven!

Don't forget the biscuits - empty carbs need love too.

Ylfa · 22/10/2020 10:24

I can’t get excited about biscuits, I had a digestive yesterday and it was okay but it wasn’t exactly pasta ☹️

Probably more research is needed Biscuit

Yes to lasagna and chips
Risotto with about £10 worth or Parmesan
Garlicky creamy, dauphinois
I had a risotto wrap in Asia once it was bloody lovely.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 22/10/2020 10:27

Please don't reject the whole biscuit food group on the basis of one encounter with a sad plain digestive ☹️

DisgruntledGuineaPig · 22/10/2020 10:31

Yes they are! Carbs were my friend in lockdown. So now I'm having to be mean to myself as I really can't be doing with needing a whole new wardrobe...

But yes, carbs are the way to survive all this

devildeepbluesea · 22/10/2020 10:32

I'm with @ylfa

Biscuits are pointless. Give me all the crisps, pasta, rice and spuds.

LagneyandCasey · 22/10/2020 10:35

Chip butty with crusty white bread doorstops and chunky chips.

Life's not worth living without the odd carb overload.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 22/10/2020 10:36

Biscuits are pointless

I don't belong here, and I am going to slink away and form my own biscuit based commune.

mayflowerapplepie · 22/10/2020 10:36

I agree. Keto is killing me Grin

Beechview · 22/10/2020 10:36

Toast all the way. I’d eat toast for every meal of the day if it was nutritious enough.

Then I’d snack on crisps and piles of salty popcorn.

No no, this is an inclusive carb celebratory event - please share all your most cherished biscuits so that we, too, may learn to appreciate them more fully

Carbs are delicious. If I ate as much as I liked, you’d have to airlift me out of my house.

EerilyDeleted · 22/10/2020 10:41

Bread is the finest food there is.

GiveMyHeadPeaceffs · 22/10/2020 10:43

Lasagne and garlic bread is one of my carbfest favourites.

I'm going all regional here but the best carbfest heaven is a batch loaf sandwich, lots of real butter and Tayto cheese and onion crisps...I'm having a drool at the thought of it Grin

RJnomore1 · 22/10/2020 10:44

Mash

Just piles and piles and piles of it maybe with cheese

Or on its own. Or with tomato sauce in a white bread sandwich

Or just mash.

Scones fresh from the oven with clotted cream and raspberry or cherry jam.
