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?

OP YANBU for making me laugh, and YANBU for the Diary of a Nobody reference. I hope some of the responses on this thread don’t make you think of ‘Gowing’ away 😆

Boireannachlaidir · 08/02/2020 08:39

OP brilliant thread and I like your responses. So many people don't 'get it' but that's no excuse for them to be rude or aggressive towards you, just ignore 'em.

Enjoy your "secret hobby" Wink

PS I've had crinkle cut carrots on top of pesto & linguine. Carrots first of course.

Dividingthementalload · 08/02/2020 08:44

I’ve read diary of a nobody in the last m month and still don’t get that reference!

Footle · 08/02/2020 08:53

@Fi1982, you just succeeded in introducing Dominic Cummings into the discussion. No thanks for that. I wish he was Gowing somewhere.

HorseFlyOfExtraordinaryLength · 08/02/2020 08:53

Thank you OP.
I wish there was a carrot smiley but I guess you's prefer a pumpkin.

FridgeOffal · 08/02/2020 09:16

Well now you're just being nasty. Nobody really thinks this about pumpkin

We do you know. The clue is in the fact that once a year people with no other occult tendencies are compelled to carve spooky faces in them and set light to their insides in a gesture of appeasement to the devil.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 08/02/2020 10:09

For some people, this thread seems to be the sole malevolent carrot roundel in a cornucopia of farinaceous pumpkiny goodness.

Just goes to show we're all sisters under the skin.

Mrsmurrayposh · 08/02/2020 11:24

Thanks, fi.
As soon as I've finished enamelling the bath I'm off to ask my mother in law why I've never been good enough for her son.
Then I'll come back and start a proper thread.

I'm just waiting fir someone to threaten Social Services
And to tell OP to ' get a grip' or ' get a life'

scared2020 · 08/02/2020 11:36

Or to ' got to AE. Now. '

Footle · 08/02/2020 18:54

Or ask "OP, are you on gnocchi?"

FridgeOffal · 08/02/2020 19:29

It's pasta joke

PixieRabbit · 08/02/2020 21:01

Maybe you should get someone to do a carot reading, to discern the pesto course of action.

TrainspottingWelsh · 08/02/2020 21:53

I'm disappointed with op. When the humourless invaded the thread, at the very least op could have provided a big drip feed with a highly unlikely explanation for why she finds carrots triggering. Then we could have all advised her to log the pasta impersonating carrot with 101.

I'm just surprised nobody has posted about the evils of carbs yet and offered suggestions for nasty inedible low carb alternatives.

TooleyVanDooley · 08/02/2020 21:58

I don’t understand how you can mistake a bit of carrot for pasta. They don’t look anything like each other.

Footle · 08/02/2020 22:27

@TooleyVanDooley , keep your eye on the carrot. Now try to imagine a world in which you ( or someone) could mistake it for a morsel of pumpkin.
Did that work ?
Now read the Original Post.
Eureka! Geronimo! Howzat!
QED.

DiegoSaber · 09/02/2020 01:40

Shame the thread got derailed by a fusilli posters.

PixieRabbit · 09/02/2020 02:36

Yes, what some of them were thinking I cannelloni imagine.

LurcherMama · 09/02/2020 03:45

Well, I enjoyed it greatly. Thank you, OP!
