I love lasagne with chips and garlic bread. Pizza and chips. Chip butties, wotsits sandwiches, fried mashed potato sandwiches. Carbs are good! What's your favourite carb or carb combo?

Crisp sandwich!

Spaghetti with pangrattato!

Oh... so not a crab appreciation thread! I didn't have my glasses on and was curious 😁

Chocolate and sugar all the way for me. All chocolate bars, biscuits, toffee and basically anything with a high sugar and fat content.

Scones. Cheese or fruit.

I always like to make a little rice sandwich with my naan.

This thread is making me so hungry! I need a butter pie now!

Tha family naan from Akbars @WonkyDesk?

Macaroni pie.
Gobi aloo saag with rice and a piece torn from someone else's peshwari naan.

My dad used to make us boiled macaroni and chips with bread and butter on the side for our tea when my mum was at work.

I think my all time favourite carb has to be roast potatoes they are heavenly 😋

Wanttobekind · 09/09/2023 20:40

Chip butties 😍 Id sell my gran for a good one from the chippy.

Pudding pots.

Basically, Yorkshire puddings made with a dollop of mash inside.

(Heat the oil in the tin, add the batter mix, then immediately add a spoonful of mash. Cook on gas 7 until the Yorkshire bit is golden).

Super noodles on white toast. With butter and cheese.

A left over roast potato sandwich with gravy 😋

I love a steak pie and chips as well.

I don't care for Lasagne and chips, the chips take up space in my stomach that could be filled with delicious lasagne

RampantIvy · 09/09/2023 19:28

No, it has to be half rice and half naan.

Half and half is half rice and chips! You can get naan as well

Naan and rice is just standard curry.

Baked potato with Mac cheese. Absolute food of gods.

HappiDaze · 09/09/2023 20:55

A slice of fresh white bread that I've baked

I never eat chips with an Indian curry. It feels all wrong to me. That said, chips with curry sauce at our local pub is delicious.

Pork pie sandwich. Dead to me now

My fav thread ever.

AutisticLegoLover · 09/09/2023 21:13

This is so wonderful to read after reading how low carb is the answer to many things. I never believed it and I'm thrilled to see so many people who love carbs.

Cod and chips with a chip butty on the side.
Shepherds pie with roast potatoes.
Lasagne and oven chips.

If any of you happen to be in the Rhondda Valleys of South Wales, there's a cafe called ... Cafe Cafe, its in Treorchy and does an absolute belter of a lasagna and chips. I prefer their pies though.

I’m so happy there are other carb lovers too @AutisticLegoLover. My MiL is constantly trying to get me to go low carb and I tell her I’ve got peasant genes that require stodge for fuel. She’s very posh and believes me to be horribly common so it usually keeps the comments about how terrible carbs are for me at bay for a little while.

Try "buttering" your wotsit sandwich with primula cheese spread. You can thank me later.

Right now my biggest problem is a Hoola Hoop fixation. I can't get enough. No other crisps will do, and I think I'm od'ing on the salt. Send help 😳
