AIBU to think pasta is the world's most pointless food

[sonlypuppyfat]

That's it I'm done, I've tried every shape going all different sauces and I have decided once and for all its crap. All it is is boiled dough and I'm done with it

I like everything - especially red wine. I eat pasta but would never choose it as it doesn't excite me and fills me up too quickly. Excellent for students though.

Celery. Why?

I adore wholewheat pasta with a tomato and chilli pesto, toasted pine nuts and loads of grated cheese (and frozen peas). YABU

Bunny, celery is simply for the crunch factor. It's cellulose, and indigestible, so has no nutritional value (save possibly from any insects hiding inside).

All food is lovely - where would we be without it? I draw the line at things like witchety grubs, and fried ants, but that's cultural. Out of UK mainstream foods, I view marrow with some disdain (childhood memories), and there's plenty of stuff I wouldn't cross the street for - but never eat? Nah.

a birthday lasagne - brilliant! Who are you, Garfield?

Literally weeping :)

Celery is very useful to add flavour to many recipes.

If the flavour you're hoping to add is piss.

Celery gives a nice savoury base to food

I tried adding some celery to a casserole type dish recently - like all the best TV chefs do, and the best recipes too I'm sure.

But there was uproar

Finely chopped carrots, onion and celery are the base of about 80% of any dish I cook. I have a tupperware tub full in the freezer...........and if chopped finely enough it "evaporates" in sauces, casseroles and stews

No pasta? No red wine? Nor Goats cheese? Not coming round your place for dinner! YABVU - these are all lovely!

Lasagne birthday cake is an amazing idea......

"COOK boiling dough doesn't make you a top chef!!"
For most of us pasta phobes it's as much the texture as the taste. That boggy, gloopy, slithery, sticky, throat-clogging awfulness that even a sauce of unicorn spunk and panda pubes cannot fix.

For me, it's that I feel it's a waste of carbs when I could be having multi-grain bread, or even more enjoyable carbs like cake instead of pasts. But I might be an aberration.

Artichoke is the ultimate pointless food.

No, artichoke isn't pointless it's an excuse to eat a bowlful of lovely garlic mayonnaise, now cherry tomatoes they really are pointless, nothing but skin and pips.

Grilled artichoke is also one of my favourite things on a pizza.
