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

Polenta is pointless. I've tried it many times, here and in Italy. It was once quite nice, I suspect because it was 50% butter and Parmesan. Every other time it's been like eating dense wallpaper paste.

Now mashed potato, that's food of the gods.

I love pasta, my Italian DH can make some brilliant dishes-gorgeous food!

If your pasta is like boiled dough, Are you over cooking it??

Marrow, vile
Corn beef also vile
Goats cheese,

Yabu and I bet deep down inside you know you are!

Pasta is amazing. I would honestly eat pasta every day if I lived alone.

No goats cheese is a crime its rank. No I'm cooking my own sauces all my family are enjoying it but me I'm sat like a grumpy toddler pushing it around

YABVU

Yab totally u. Now mushrooms, on the other hand...

Pasta is one of the best foods every created.

Pasta with pesto, sundried tomatoes, olives and goats cheese, with a glass of wine. Best. Meal. Ever.

I love goat's cheese. It does smell goaty though.

Marrow is disgusting as is coconut. Gnocchi is vile.

Are you cooking it properly?

I could live on pasta given a choice! Sadly my DH hates it, except for my lasagne and we only have that once a month at most so he doesn't get bored of it. I haven't had pasta for ages.

OP, have you tried fresh egg pasta as opposed to dried one?

YABVVVVU- you take that back!

Pasta is fabulous in all it's spaghetti slurping macaroni madness...............the perfect versatile comfort food. I would also have it for every meal if I could.

To the PP who has a Lasagna birthday cake, I applaud you and am now going to do the same next year.

Love pasta and goats cheese is heaven to me ............falafel ? what that's about , tastes absolutely disgusting !

Can take it or leave it, dont get all the hype over pasta in tomato sauce though yeuk. Good ol mac and cheese, carbonara. lasagne etc with lashings of parmesan all fine.
Cauliflower is delish.
Kids not fussed over pasta either, must be the only ones in the world
Corned beef fab (not whatever it is that americans call corned beef though wtaf is that?)
Potatoes in any shape or form delish.

Pasta and goats cheese, do you eat that for a dare

Not liking pasta, rates right up there on my avoidometer with people who don't like chocolate. Adding you to my list.

Pasta and a fuckton of stinky blue cheese, preferably Roquefort. Yum!

Pasta and goats cheese / yumsters!

Marrows should only exist for country shows big veg competitions

Cucumbers - nasty

Forgot the red wine!

Why would you drink something that makes your mouth feel drier than when you started drinking? Have tried to like it in the past but just cant! (plus gives me instant headaches anyway)

YABU.

Sophia Loren credited her amazing figure to spaghetti.

Over 30 years ago had goats cheese in France , love it and it brings back memories for me , we have soft goats cheese lightly grilled with a dressed salad and I LOVE it ! I love pasta too and would eat them together or separately !
Like corned beef too ! and marmite !

I'm with you OP.

Pointless, tried it in restaurants, at home, expensive, fresh. I just don't get it. At a push I can have spagetti carbonara and that's only because they're thin. A mouth full of chewy carb doesn't do it for me at all.

Nope, the world's most pointless food is potato.

Who the hell picked one out of the ground and thought 'mmm this will become delicious by being boiled in WATER'.

If I never saw a potato again, I'd be happy.

And courgette spaghetti, or whatever the fuck it's called. Gave me a seriously dodgy stomach and I can't think about it now without heaving.

Come on now let's not get nasty-please don't start on the red wine.

I might just report you all as you're obviously just goady fuckers.

Red wine is super nasty all dry in your mouth

I agree about red wine, it is the ONLY alcohol that gives me the most awful headache just a couple of hours after 1 glass

I do get awful headaches the morning after a bottle or two of red wine so there might be something in that.
