Would I be weird to get some pasta?

I felt very peckish so I prepared some pickled vegetables, some soup, a veggie stew with bread and yogurt and cake to finish it off.
I ate all of the bread, half of the yogurt, all of the cake and some of the juice of the stew...
I didn't really enjoy it today however I do have leftover pasta from yesterday.
It's very delicious pasta with aubergines, chicken and peppers in it, it's spicy too and I have found myself craving it.
It's been about ten minutes since I ate my meal.
Normally I find myself getting up in the night to make some food as a snack for when I can't sleep, but i'm honestly not sure whether to eat my pasta or not, especially after having just eaten yogurt and cake! Shock

Would I be unreasonable to go and get some pasta? Grin

To be fair OP how were we supposed to know you were from the Middle East? We all read posts in the context of where we are from.

@Samtsirch dolt! That made me chuckle.

@MrsGrindah, the op isn't from the Middle East. She's from the UK, or that's what she said on a previous thread.

@saleorbouy is OBVIOUSLY joking!!

topazdiamondsandemeralds · 13/05/2020 20:32

I live in the UK but I am half middle eastern and I eat a lot of the food from there daily Smile It's a good way for me to get in touch with my heritage and feel good about it, albeit my insecurities.

You can be both you know...

Op, my DH is Middle Eastern (shock horror also from the UK) and I don't think your meal sounded weird although I understand why others would.

Yes, I remember your threads about your insecurities as well. About your nose, your eye colour, the dark, eating mildly soft biscuits, now asking if you should eat pasta.....

MouthBreathingRage · 13/05/2020 20:36

I mean, to be pedantic when someone says they were raised solely in the UK I think it's clearer to say that they have Middle Eastern heritage. Whatever though, it's the least pernickety thing I can say about the op.

PP i'm a human and I have issues, I struggle to understand how my threads are so strange?? Hmm

@MouthBreathingRage why are you picking on the op? So she clearly has some insecurities and she's pregnant and you feel picking on her is the best thing to do?
What are you trying to achieve by bringing up her previous threads like that that have nothing to do with a thread about food?

Truthpact · 13/05/2020 20:38

I had lasagne and then two chocolate bars so I'm in no position to tell you what to do. Grin

Thisismytimetoshine · 13/05/2020 20:39

Eating this food as a way of getting in touch with your heritage suggests you weren't brought up eating it?
I don't know what "albeit my insecurities" means in that context?

MouthBreathingRage · 13/05/2020 20:44

@AndMyHairWillShineLikeTheSea, I'm sorry you feel I'm 'picking' on her. Her username has become noticeable over the last few weeks for posting these type of threads, but it's her perogative to do so. I'll make sure to not comment on her next thread about whatever has popped into her head that day. It is AIBU though, and I feel the OP is being somewhat so asking some of these questions that really don't require the input of other adults.

Have had a few glasses and this is the kind of thread I'll remember tomorrow and think ooh I should read it again stone cold sober... then I'll read it again stone cold sober... and realise it was just as weird (and brilliant) as I remembered!

roarfeckingroar · 13/05/2020 21:31

It depends - are you overweight? If not, why not.

roarfeckingroar · 13/05/2020 21:33

Just seen you're pregnant. EAT EVERYTHING! 😁

Sparklfairy · 13/05/2020 21:49

Come on MN, the woman is pregnant.all bets are off! Grin

I'm glad you had the pasta OP, and I'm gonna try the stew recipe myself Smile
