Up the bum - no babies!!!
i think i shovelled it down too quickly and i was in a nervy mood, true. But i suspect it WAS the meat - even though i fried it for like 15 minutes before adding the cream, i suspect it wasnt fully cookedThe second time, it was cooked the bijeipers out of, and thats why i didnt get sick.
You wouldn't get the shits, instantly, from something you ate because your body wouldn't have even started trying to digest it etc yet.
If indeed it was something you ate (and not a stomach bug or something) it would have been something you ate much earlier than that.

sorry, didn't know you'd given it up - wel done- i'm just speaking from experience - if i've had a heavy night, it's the booze that churns your guts up. the food might trigger the upset, but it's already upset IYSWIM.

you would have overcooked it then - it only need 2 or 3 minutes to fry
i got em about 15 mins after finishing meal. Fast metabolisms mean you go the loo (for a number two) about five mins after eating a curry. I swear this is true (excuse the gruesomeness and hijacking of thread)....anyway enuff pancettagate investigations - thanks for the ideas people!!

carbonara is not a 'sauce'
carbonara is eggs (whisked) + cheese (romana, parmesan) + seasoning
the pasta is then cooked and drained, then the egg/cheese mix is stirred into the pasta
the heat of the pasta 'cooks' the egg/cheese mix. it's not meant to curdle - the consistency of the 'carbonara' should remain sticky/coating.

I always use more blue cheese than recipes say, because I like alot of cheesiness
I didn't use prosciuttio in the main and used more garlic than one clove (because I'm used to cooking indian food with lots of garlic in it)
My Dad and I have both been suffering from all the signs of food poisoning since Friday morning, which we put down to a dodgy takeaway curry we shared on Thursday night. However, my lil sis has just started suffering from exactly the same symptoms this evening. So what we initially assumed was something not cooked properly is actually some sort of bug that is going around. Maybe that's what has happened to you too Cheesy ?
Heh, I managed to resist pointing out that Cheesy wasn't cooking anything approaching a carbonara too. Sometimes even the simplest recipes get corrupted
carbonara is pretty simple really.....unless you are kin to some wizardry the world hasnt yet embraced?

what's your recipe then cheesy? i didn't know it had mushrooms in it, i thought it was just parmesan, egg, bacon and shit loads of pepper?
yeh thats pretty much it. but tarranau may hold some vital key to the errors i must have made
i really think you should ask him!

i think he was also taken aback by the presence of mushroom. and garlic. and onion. it's you who sems to have complicated it by adding extra stuff.

cream and mushrooms make a delightful addition to pasta, but it ain't carbonara is it? it's the raw egg stirred in that makes it for me. cream and mushrooms would corrupt that eggy yumminess.
nah should still work. we live in a world where boundaries can and will be broken. Carbonara can be tweeked to ones heart's content. Success is near certain.
That is my upset about the meals sheer futility. its epic failure shall forever reign. its upset was (and the memory thereof, sadly remains). However, i stand by your original inkling that the pancetta lardons may have been a bad batch. Its the best argument on this thread so far.

it can go too far though! such as worcestershire sauce, peas, ketchup etc in bolognaise sauce

good lord YES! those particulars you mention are all wrong.
Orang Utan
Psychick Worrier Ov Geyoor
though one could argue that the bolognaise is more forgiving than a carbonara. mushrooms and cream would so change the character of a carbonara that you couldn't really call it that anymore.
how so?
Orang Utan

cos the egginess would be overwhelmed
nah you can do it with cream....you can also do a lasagne bechemal sauce with creme fraiche and parmesan.....thou shalt not have to do carbonara with egg yolk (although to be fair, my normal carbonara is done with bacon and egg yolk, so the lardon fail was a deviation in the extreme...) Now, would you recommend excommunication or a short sentence for that? or a quick dazzle as court jester in the courtyard? as the High King i do worry sometimes that you would be led too much by advisors and influence....<little cry>

Called away to another place
Scutta made a stir fry of shitake mushrooms, pak choi and spinach. There was lots of other bits in there, too many to list!
Tomorrow he's making a massive veggy chilli with black beans, adzuki beans and home made guacamole. I'm feeling very spoilt

*weeps into onion and garlic gravy and attempts to roll towards the sofa*
Made a stonking butter pie yesterday, best one I've made so far. Did a thicker pastry base this time and blind baked it. Unfortunately the packet of mushy peas was well past its sell by and they didn't go mushy, and my bamboo steamer must have been blocked or sommat cos me carrots and cabbage wouldn't cook after 20 fucking minutes of steaming 
So we ended up having mahoosive slices of pie, with baked beans, mashed sweet potato and roast veg gravy. Still delish
Tonight, pesto pasta, black olives, parmesan
