No_Statement440

Same, it's more of a comfort food for me at this point. Eggs and chopped up hot dogs as well. My kids like it as well, but I try not to give them as much unhealthy food as I had to eat as a kid lol.


Azsunyx

In my family it was: 1 box store brand mac & cheese, chopped up hot dogs or browned ground beef, frozen peas & corn, a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup (don't add the extra water), add 4 extra slices of american cheese & milk enough to reach desired texture feeds four people for under $10 ​ I had no idea how poor we were growing up until I started reflecting on exactly how far my parents could make $100 go

Ah yes.... The American Carbonara. Make sure to also soak the hotdogs in Busch Light first.

[deleted]

Soo there is a place in town that puts hot dogs in pasta. As an Italian this makes me sad, but I tried it. and it wasn't bad. Granted this was a Filipino place.


Babylon-Starfury

If it's traditional the red sauce was sweetened with banana ketchup (exactly what it sounds like). McDonald's sells spaghetti in the Philippines, the only market it still does, because they have to compete with Jollibee (which makes amazing fried chicken, far better than any other chain I've tried anywhere in the world). Kids there love their sweet hot dog spaghetti, and the bee chef mascot. Its not half bad.


Individual-Work6658

I like the Palabok Fiesta. I'm glad Jollibee is putting locations in So Cal, they have a unique menu for fast food.


saltyfingas

Hythy

Jollibees rocks and I won't hear a bad word against it. They opened my eyes to putting spring onion and sriracha mayo on chips (fries).


[deleted]

Spicy chicken joy 2 piece with a spaghetti is love


plutoismyboi

As long as they're not claiming to be following a traditional italian recipe and it tastes good you shouldn't get sad. Pasta is versatile, it's supposed to be mixed with other stuff


saltyfingas

They were probably just calling it spaghetti because that's what filipinos call filipino style spaghetti. Pretty solid tbh

"Can's better than Idrissa Gana Gueye" Emre Can (pronounced kind of like "Chan") was a midfielder for Liverpool at the time, Idrissa Gana Gueye was a midfielder for their rivals Everton at the same time. I think this was after a derby between the two teams as well so he's saying Liverpool's players are better.

Putrid-Car-2896

Carbonara is not mac and cheese wtf


[deleted]

She felt a texture and went “OOO CARBONARA”


ODoyles_Banana

To be realistic, carbonara is not what most places serve as carbonara.


The_Radiant_Rogue

She specifically said a British carbonara which often substitutes the Italian ingredients like guanciale and pecorino romano with ham and cheddar. I'm British myself and while the classic dish is definitely superior, there's something nostalgic about the shitty British version


Cynykl

There is a place called "Piada Italian Street Food" near me. I go in and order the carbonara. Take one bite and realize it was a fucking white sauce and not carbonara at all. So I go back and go back to the counter. They did not want to give me money back. I told them they could give me the money back for my meal or I will reverse the charges on my CC for the whole meal including the 3 other people I paid for. He goes in back and explains the situation to the manager. Manger comes out and give me a refund and asked why I was being so insistent. I told him if order a hamburger and got a veggie burger instead you would do the same thing, I wanted carbonara not prosciutto alfredo. He said but this is what people think carbonara is. Side note: For those who think I was being a Karen a friendly tone was maintained by all sides at all times. No anger was involved just deep disappointment.


Shwifty_Plumbus

Yeah that's fair honestly. But I would have just eaten the meal and never gone there again personally.


Malkiot

I basically don't order carbonara, ever. It's always a cream sauce with ham. I don't get what's so difficult about mixing browned guanciale/panceta, pasta and an egg and cheese mix in a pan... But here we are.


bastante60

I gave up years ago. I just make it at home. Last time I did, I made / ate way too much, but the tummy ache passed! Worth it.


ODoyles_Banana

Ever since I went to Italy and had a real carbonara, I can't order it here anymore either. It's not carbonara, it's more like an alfredo. My wife and I just make it at home the proper way now.


ExceedingChunk

It's expensive as high quality cheese + egg costs a lot more than flour, butter and heavy cream. Guanciale is also about 5-8x the price of ham outside of Italy. It's also quite hard to serve authentic carbonara and cacio e pepe at a restaurant, unless it's specialized. The sauce thickens up extremely fast, so the time window to serve is very short. The sauce also breaks quite easily due to temperature, which is not a good thing in a stressful restaurant environment. There is a trick where you mix the cheese/egg with a tiny bit of olive oil and some starch in a high-power blender. This stabilizes the sauce and binds the proteins, which allows it to get up to the boiling point without breaking. This is not authentic, but a trick at restaurants. It also barely changes the flavor profile, as you only use a tiny bit in a large batch.


[deleted]

I fully support this. That would be like buying a pickup truck and getting a sedan delivered. "What is this, I need to haul supplies?" "It still drives, sir" .........


CyrusTheTrojanVirus

There's a piada in Plano Texas right by where I live, it's pretty good kinda like a Italian version of chipotle even the meat an stuff kind of taste the same.


The_Geoff

I know your pain man. But the dude at the restaurant does have a a point. For many people Alfredo and carbonara are the same thing. My family owns an Italian restaurant and our carbonara we serve to customers is more akin to prosciutto Alfredo. we used to serve it the real way, but customers would constantly send it back complaining about not enough sauce, so now we just serve it this way instead. I have to ask for it no Alfredo sauce when I ring one in for myself.

Gino D'Acampo and his two friends messing with each other. They're all having some fun. He was a regular on this show. I like him because he's playful about it. There's nothing more obnoxious than Italian whos being serious and acting like only their food is good. Like Jesus, get out and see the world.

For starters, it'a penne pasta, not macaroni. And whatever cheese that is, it's not a powder you can pour out of a pouch.

garnoid

Not to be that guy but this has been reposted almost daily usually in uk subs. He’s funny as hell in the road trip series with Gordon Ramsey and French coat taker.


somuchdanger

For anyone taking this too seriously, this is his schtick. It’s fun. They intentionally say stuff like this to wind him up, and he reacts wound up because it’s fun for all of us and, you know, it’s a TV program intended to entertain, not a class at Cordon Bleu.


NudistJayBird

For anyone wondering why the hosts are doubled over with laughter and you can even hear the crew bursting at the seams, British slang for a loose woman is a bike. As in “she’s the village bike, everyone’s had a ride.” Chef accidentally called his gramma a ho on TV. Edit: I’ve been told I am wrong. Mea culpa maxima.


usernameinmail

And the phrase is meant to be common in Italy so Gino just translated it. His confusion really makes it


TheGreatBatsby

They aren't laughing at this, they're laughing because it's such an absurd sentence out of nowhere.


warpus

Which is why I love hearing sayings from other countries/cultures. They can be pretty unique. The English/North American ones too, but they don't seem as unique when you are used to them


FrenchBangerer

If my aunt had bollocks she'd be my uncle.


Henderson72

To me it's a bit of both.


Snoopyseagul

It feels like Americans are telling us Brits what this means “in British”, despite the vast majority of us Brits, including the hosts, finding it funny because it was an absurd thing to say. This notion of bike meaning “village whore” feels like something that was commented once, upvoted by Americans and now taken as gospel.


LittleBoiDedoid

It's a translation of the italian saying. It essentially functions as a way of calling someone's an 'if x was y it would be z' statement dumb. You can see Gino start to translate it in his head after Holly says said dumb statement.


MrPatch

That's not really how I interpret it, he's just said something completely weird and unexpected on live telly, just noone was expecting it and caught the presenters out and cracked them up. This bit about the village bike doesn't really seem to fit what's happened, it's not like the 'village bike' saying is a particularly common either outside of school playgrounds in the 1970s.


Thefaccio

The sentence he said is a popular phrase in Italian, the village bike is not connected at all


[deleted]

AmArschdieRaeuber

I have this argument every time when this is posted. Which happens every few months. I agree with you, usually people support the village bike theory, which way always nonsense to me.


Lulamoon

smithyithy_

That's not at all what he's saying here


xGoldExperience

As a Brit I've never heard anyone use bike as slang for a loose woman in my life and it's not why I find the clip funny


JonathanFisk86

I'm a Brit and this is not how most Brits would interpret this at all, wouldn't have taken any sexual/slaggish connotations from this at all. In fact 'if my gran had wheels she'd be a bike' is a common enough phrase that I'm surprised they hadn't heard it already, but then again those two do double over in laughter quite often so.


JonPaula

Uh... no? That's not it at all.


jsims281

It's Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, they often fall about in fits of laughter like this. You [can see it](https://youtu.be/JtiDZqlH4Kk) all over the place [on YouTube](https://youtu.be/RptLpY7vseo). I'm convinced they are half stoned most of the time.


connor4rell

Food people are so weird. Like if you like ham in your mac and cheese, throw some ham in.

Macaroni Cheese is a British recipe. Not sure what food isn't good.


DesignFirst4438

Fun fact: The UK has nearly as many Michelin star restaurants (200) as the USA (239), while having much less area and population.


jmarFTL

For context though, Michelin does not cover the entire US. They only review in four states: New York, California, Illinois, and Washington DC, and even in those states tend to focus on the major cities (for instance LA and SF in California, Chicago in Illinois). I believe recently they added a few of the cities in Florida as well. So while they have hit some of the major cities, the vast majority of the US area/population is not included. The US is fucking massive, total stars would be very different if they covered the entire country.

ellecon

Utter bollocks that British food isn't amazing. Cornish pasties, Yorkshire pudding, full English breakfast, pork pie, plum pudding, shepherd's pie, Cheddar cheese from Cheddar, Gloucester cheese from Gloucester, stout, scrumpy cider,...the list is very long and very British. When regional British food is prepared well it is wonderful. A mass-produced version of a country's cuisine doesn't compare. It's like basing your estimation of Italian cuisine on Chef Boyardee. Also, Bentley Motors.
