Lol - some 'stodge' is good, in moderation, just not too often! Repeat after me: A MEAL ISN'T INCOMPLETE WITHOUT MASSES OF CARBS OR PASTRY... :D:eyebrows:

Pasta is simply stodge in disguise. Or very much not in disguise, depending on how it is served.
As is gnocchi.
Anyway, Ramen (stodge) noodles. Where have you been in my life?
I wish I could put into words how good this was. Constructed in a different manner to the way I usually make them, there's more under the cover than you can see.
Bloody fantastic. Best meal for a good while.
I have some liquid Ramen stocks on order direct from Japan. It's been about a month and they are still not here. Very much looking forward to them hoping they will give me some ideas.

Lol - I do cook sometimes, and it's usually pasta!:D
Also, it's entirely normal for an Italian to be PASSIONATE and knowledgeable about food, whether they cook or not, as it's a *massive* part of their lives and culture. In that respect, it's not uncommon in Italy hearing men standing at bus stops or in trains or cafes talking about food, swapping recipes for pasta sauce, etc.
It's just a way of life:)
My dad's the same - only learned to cook when my mum died (just 4 years ago), as up until then she (or his mother) did all the cooking... Didn't stop him though talking about and appreciating good food as much as me!:ner:;)
So it may be 'strange' to you, but not to me.

Carbs with a side order of stodge :D

Lol... The sliced toms dilute the stodge and freshen things up nicely!:D
Marco.
Quality... Along with pussy juice? Well, it tastes like melon!:eyebrows:

Spot on with the sprouts although apparently they have been modified over the years to remove the old bitterness that many found intolerable.
I actually love sprouts (precooked and iced) then fried in butter with pancetta or streaky bacon and chestnuts. Bloody scrum.
