Sounds OK to me.

Smarshian · 20/01/2018 08:20

Envy not envy

Dancetothebeat32 · 20/01/2018 08:21

He sounds like a skint student who has had to use the last 2 ingredients in the shared accommodation 🤢

ShatnersBassoon · 20/01/2018 08:22

I don't think that would be so bad. I like curry, I like some stodge with it.
Was it just sauce though, or was it a curry with vegetables/meat in it?

MerryShitmas · 20/01/2018 08:22

You'll all drop dead if I tell you what he does for a living.
It's given me grey hairs already!
He's no skint student though!
Lonicera- really?!

A korma (with things in it, lentils/veg in mine chicken in his) mixed in with spaghetti.

You are lucky! My husband served a "fry up" of cabbage, onion and mackeral the other evening all cooked in the same pan at the same time. Envy

DenPerry · 20/01/2018 08:24

Sounds nice actually Blush

AllMyBestFriendsAreMetalheads · 20/01/2018 08:24

I thought this was going to be about toddlers and was going to mention the time DC decided that dipping cheese and onion hula hoops into strawberry yoghurt was the best thing ever.

Surely everyone knows that it should be chips with curry sauce, not pasta!

ivykaty44 · 20/01/2018 08:24

Sounds Better than pasta and bake beans....

MerryShitmas · 20/01/2018 08:25

That's the thing, my husband isn't a bad cook. He's actually a fully qualified and experienced head chef (in a hatted restaraunt no less!) I don't get fry ups with cabbage and mackerel.

Do you reckon he's been replaced by aliens?

I served something similar to my dp when we first got together. Stir fry with spaghetti. Spaghetti and noodles are more or less the same thing, right? He still teases me about it years later.

AdaColeman · 20/01/2018 08:26

YANBU
Don't say he is a chef!?

Socksey · 20/01/2018 08:26

I've made that loads of times.... not with spaghetti but fusilli....
Btw the cabbage and mackerel, while not amazing.... I would also eat 😁

PoorYorick · 20/01/2018 08:27

Can't see the problem, curry is supposed to come with some sort of carb, it's just that pasta is from another country.

Unless you mean curry paste?

MiaFarrowsWheelbarrow · 20/01/2018 08:29

Socksy, you would probably eat it once but I'd be very surprised if you asked for seconds Grin

ShowMeTheElf · 20/01/2018 08:29

It does sound grim, but on reflection I'm not sure why. Lots of spicy coconutty things are served with noodles in Asia, so I suppose the pasta is a fair alternative.
He says he loves it: what did you think OP, once over the initial shock?
What sounds worse is lentils in a korma: too grainy, and with pasta as well it must have been a weird texture.

MerryShitmas · 20/01/2018 08:29

While pasta and rice are both carbs they are not the same!
The sauce was fine it just shouldn't be on pasta!

OP posts:
Theresnonamesleft · 20/01/2018 08:31

Curry pasta is an actual thing. It's been around for years.

MerryShitmas · 20/01/2018 08:32

I'm LTB and I'm deregistering too

Grin Wink
I ate a bit of it because I'm always happy to give things a go.
My thoughts are that I'd eat it again if I was starving to death but otherwise no. Just wrong.
Genuinely surprised it's a "thing"!

On a diet programme in the week they were showing the strawberry diet - where you add strawberries to every meal, the chef then cooks an example- jacket potato with a cheesy strawberry sauce -yuk!

MerryShitmas · 20/01/2018 08:35

I'd lose loads of weight tbf chocolate
I'd never eat anything that was on my plate if it was smothered with a cheesy strawberry sauce!

Pollypudding · 20/01/2018 08:36

I don’t like the sound of that! My husband cooks haggis with pasta and calls it “hagsta”. It is just wrong! He is not a chef.

BertrandRussell · 20/01/2018 08:38

The cabbage and mackerel thing sounds nice. Sort of bubble and squeak.

Weedsnseeds1 · 20/01/2018 08:39

Masala Pasta exists. If you look at any Indian food blogger, they usually have a recipe. I think it's a breakfast / kid's dish.
