Meat vs no meat

[Rocksinhead]

Wow, this thread drew out a lurker. nice.

Wasn't this post that prompted me to stop being a lurker. I made an account years ago purely to use the FS/FT forum which I have used occasionally over the years. Wanted to post a WTB threat but you now have to have 25 posts. That's what brought me into the light of day. Figured actually posting for real instead of 25 bumps or just saying "this" with a quote was better.

no.

spaghetti is pasta. that's it.

spaghetti al marinara, al bolognese, etc, is not "spaghetti."

pasta dishes are about the pasta--the sauce or whatever you typically eat with it, is, basically, a garnish. (well, more substantial than a garnish, of course--but the sauces have much less variety than the many different types of pasta)

I see your no and raise you another no. If I tell someone I'm having spaghetti for supper, its implied that I'm not just eating noodles plain. Spaghetti is noodles and sauce. Otherwise, I'm just eating spaghetti noodles.

There is no correct answer for this question except the correct answer is yes it does. Lasagna without meat is just egg noodles and ketchup.

If ketchup goes anywhere near lasagna, then you are failing, hard.

Aww no points to you in catching that Goodfellas reference. I was calling lasagna without meat a cheap imitation unworthy of any consideration.

I prefer it with meat but I've had some good vegan versions of it. I think there's an eggplant version.

Lasagna is supposed to have meat in it.

Good point. If a good looking woman says to put meat in it, you put meat in it.

I see what you did there. :sneaky:
