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

Oh dear what have I said?

OhtoblazeswithElvira · 27/09/2016 20:44

You are not outnumbered OP!

I am fed up and bored with pasta, too. It is sooooo dull. I think pointless is the perfect word Smile

Oysterbabe · 27/09/2016 20:51

Oh just that oysters can fuck the fuck off Smile

bibbitybobbityyhat · 27/09/2016 21:07

I'm leaving this thread before I do something I'll regret tucks into huge bowl of macaroni cheese

Nantucket I've never tasted an avocado but I think it would be awful
This is completely ridiculous. As is disliking 'pasta' like it's one thing. Different types of pasta, different sauces, I can't see how anyone can dislike all of them.

How can anyone hate cucumbers, they're 96% water!

Thinly sliced cucumber tastes better than chunky slices/wedges.

littleprincesssara · 27/09/2016 23:48

Cucumber is made out of pure evil.

Pasta, red wine, polenta, goats cheese, and oysters are all fab.

But anything with coriander in it should be banished to a distant planet.

ample · 28/09/2016 00:03

Homemade macaroni cheese is to die for. Pasta with pesto is delicious, likewise mushroom & ricotta ravioli with creamy white wine sauce.

ample · 28/09/2016 00:06

A perfect ripe Avocado...food of the gods.

SylvieB74 · 28/09/2016 00:27

Yeah it's crap, I've given it too much of a chance as well.

FindingNemoFindingDory · 28/09/2016 03:59

YABU, pasta is amazing Shock

BlancheDuBois2 · 28/09/2016 08:06

I'd happily eat pasta every day. With tomato sauce, cheese sauce, smoked salmon and crime fraiche, even bechamel sauce with peas and ham. But never with cherry tomatoes. They're the devil's food.

Carbs are my crack.

scarednoob · 28/09/2016 08:16

What's the matter with you woman?! When I got GD, pasta was the thing i missed most of all.

Meat, coffee, coconut, polenta, anything fishy that you have to fight with to eat - these things can fuck right off!

Middleoftheroad · 28/09/2016 08:25

Pasta is my best friend, being a lazy cook and all.

Now haloumi I find to be a tad over rated and brie. Prefer goat's cheese (put apostrophe to represent singular goat, but realise this could restart the cows' milk debate)

Idratherbeaunicorn · 28/09/2016 08:33

YABU. I bloody love pasta.

Beebeeeight · 28/09/2016 08:35

Pasta is just empty calories which bloats your stomach and provides no nuitrients.

We'd all be better off without it.

Red wine- stained teeth- yuk!

NicknameUsed try washing Tilda rice and letting it soak for 30 mins you'll have lovely long grains of rice, I know it's a lot of work but the result is amazing!

I am a bit rice obsessed.
