Thought it was double pasta filling, turns out its carrot

I can't tell you how disappointed I am. Filled pasta, pumpkin sage. For "health" chucked in pack of carrot, broccoli blah blah blah with the only sane ladies option of "scoff veg first then savour pasta". BUT rogue carrot "roundel", masquerading as disk of sagey pasta middle, ended up in the golden mouthful.
AIBU to ban vegetables?

I've looked at that filling flavour so many times and wondered about it, but I hadn't considered the genuine risk of mistaking a carrot slice for a loose segment of filling. I might have to avoid it on principle now. Although I have not, and never will, added carrot in any form to a pasta dish. It seems wrong somehow..?

Ladies option?

hennyspennys · 07/02/2020 20:39

Carrot never, ever belongs in any pasta dish. Vile things!

amaryl · 07/02/2020 20:41

What?

TheThingWithFeathers · 07/02/2020 20:41

Unless it ruined the very last mouthful of pasta, YABU.

Mrsmurrayposh · 07/02/2020 20:43

Sane ladies.

Noodles, i am at your service, my dear. Why not treat yourself to a HAT? 🤣

I have read the op a few times and have no clue what its about, cannot believe others clearly do get it Blush

RickSanchez · 07/02/2020 20:44

It was @TheThingWithFeathers , it was the golden mouthful.

I am distressed for you OP. I hate a contaminated golden mouthful, a wee bit of gristle, a chip of bone or fleck of eggshell... can ruin my whole meal. Envy not envy

mig58 · 07/02/2020 20:44

When I am queen of the world broccoli and courgettes are going to be banned immediately. On that basis you are BEUR.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 07/02/2020 20:45

I can't get over the "ladies option" and all it implies I'm afraid....

Mrsmurrayposh · 07/02/2020 20:46

Thethingwith...
"Golden mouthful"

Sorry dyslexic . You are not being AIBU.

Highonpotandused · 07/02/2020 20:52

OP, of all the things you could have started a thread about, this is what you went with?

RickSanchez · 07/02/2020 20:53

You're trying to hard to be offended @EineReiseDurchDieZeit

She's describing herself as a 'sane lady' emphasis being on the sane , rather than the veg being a 'lady's option' .... as in 'the option for a sane lady'

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 07/02/2020 20:55

I'm not "offended" but thanks.

I just think its weird.

Mrsmurrayposh · 07/02/2020 20:59

Eine,
I am truly sorry you "can't get over" my comment.
It was not intended to hurt or offend you, or anybody else, in any way.
I am, however, willing to learn from my mistakes.
So, and I mean this very sincerely, where did I mess up?
Thanks, and sorry for any offence,
MMP

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 07/02/2020 21:02

Again, I'm not offended I just think its weird to describe food as a "sane ladies option" it suggests an unhealthy relationship to food. I'm not on MN to argue or fall out with people so I'll just leave you to your carrot based woes.

Mrsmurrayposh · 07/02/2020 21:08

Cheers eine. We all have our cross to bear. Mine just happens to be disk of carrot shaped.

AutumnRose1 · 07/02/2020 21:15

wait
you filled the pasta yourself?

Can I come round for dinner? Grin

Fannia · 07/02/2020 21:22

Yeah I hate when I get a carrot roundel in my golden mouthful.

TheThingWithFeathers · 07/02/2020 21:23

I have never heard of the "golden mouthful". Confused

yogo · 07/02/2020 21:24

I don't get it

HorseFlyOfExtraordinaryLength · 07/02/2020 21:28

Did you have wine with that filled pasta by any chance?
Filled pasta is always a lottery I think. It opens up and loses it's filling, you get a flat wet pasta pillowcase.

FelicityBeedle · 07/02/2020 21:30

She’s saying the only sane option for her, ‘a lady’ is to eat all the veg first to get it out the way and enjoy all the lovely stuff last. It’s not suggesting women should eat only veg, or whatever you’re getting on about

ASureSign · 07/02/2020 21:33

This is how Russel Brand would post if he were posting about pasta. 🍝
