Carb on carb action

[TruXta]

It's precisely on-brand 'We' are a nation known for our terrible stodgy food.

You were. Not so much any more, really.

 

[fractionMan]

Jam on the toast, sugar on the weetabix = two more carbs. Milk has carbs in it too.

Shhh. We mean the complex, starchy ones.

followed by lasagne and chips at lunchtime, a potato pizza and a baked potato for dinner..

 

[Badgers]

I had a pizza pie once. It was disgusting.
It was so stodgy I couldn't finish it. And that's saying something.
The manager was upset with me for not finishing it and wanted to know why.
I had to tell him I was ill.

Coward.

We still eat deep fried spag bol pizza sandwiches with chips in a pitta avec bean juice. Any re-brand is going to have its work cut out.

 

[Orang Utan]

Coward.

The manager would have self-immolated if I'd told him it was inedible.

 

[barabrith]

Sweet potato pie with mash! My favourite

 

[fractionMan]

That's actually a pretty decent pie, considering it's not got any meat in it. ^^

 

[Orang Utan]

I have never had a pieminster pie.

 

[TruXta]

How is the illegal border butter trade in Norway these days?

I think it's tapered off.

I always order it, just didn't really think of the potato, pastry, potato thing before

 

[cesare]

I have never had a pieminster pie.

 

[Orang Utan]

Never seen one.
They look expensive.

 

[Crispy]

They're decent pies. Nothing spectacular, but decent.

They're £3.50 each online.

This. A league above shit pies, mind. The matador is the best.

 

[cesare]

They're not cheap, they use quality ingredients. You can get em in some supermarkets now. IMMENSE pies.

 

[fractionMan]

sometimes half price in sainsburys.

 

[barabrith]

ASDA occasionally sell them, don't know if that's just in Bristol though.

 

[silverfish]

Scraps butty from the chippy.
Large white floury bap filled with all the scraps that float in the deep fat fryer. Salt and vinegar to taste
Just the job for a growing lad

 

[fractionMan]

Jesus, we used to eat those as kids, minus the butty. Just a bag of scraps.

Did you get them for free or did you have to pay?

 

[astral]

I miss carbs. This thread keeps making me cry.

 

[Blagsta]

See, corn on the cob is technically a vegetable in this country, not a carb like spuds.

all vegetables have carbs

 

[Blagsta]

They do good food, them middle-easters, but pitta is rubbish food

Rubbish. Pita bread, houmous, salad and falafell. Food of the gods.

 

[Citizen66]

I can think of a 4 carb meal.

A curry with rice, naan, poppadoms and sag aloo.

And is the obligatory beer/lager classed as a carb?

 

[peterkro]

Higgidy piggly FTW.

Boring food (well, pitta and hummous is)

 

[Blagsta]

Boring food (well, pitta and hummous is)

You're easily bored.

 

[Citizen66]

What's boring about hummus? Do you have no taste buds? And pitta is just bread that doesn't bloat the fuck out of you.

 

[Orang Utan]

Just a very dreary, bland flavour. Hard to get excited about.
