    Just fukk a pack of bacon lardons into a frying pan and slosh a bit of cream over it. Tastes way nicer too



    Same with pancake mix, this is only powdered egg and self raising flour and a load of synthetic chemicals to lengthen the ingredient list to make it look like a very complex product that took a lot of R&D.



    What other cooking product is a scam?

    Never used pancake mix in my life
    pancake mix and similar stuff is made for lazy ****s with enough money to waste

    Same where I am, the tap water is terrible to drink. Although we got a Brita filter jug recently and it's been a revelation.

    The people that put cream in carbonara are the people that add extra stuff to Lasagne. Like mushrooms or peppers.

    These people, they're a lost cause. Don't eat their food, or if you do, be prepared to be surprised.
    ugh, never put mushrooms in Lasagne, completely over shadows the taste of the carrots and peas!

    American recipes are gas, though:

    "Take 4 cups of Aunt Jemina™ cake mix. Bake at 500 for 20 minutes. Finish with a can of Acme® Ready-Made Frosting-in-a-Can"

    - wow, I feel like Anthony Bourdain right now, creating this...

    No joke, I once saw online a "recipe" for a doughnut stack cake. The author had a blog and shared the picture of her creation and was begged for the recipe so finally went into a pages long spiel of unrelated guff before you scroll down to the very end for the recipe.

    It's a bit complicated so follow the instructions carefully:

    Ingredients:
    • 24 Krispy Kreme assorted doughnuts.
    • Cake stand.
    Method:
    • Arrange doughnuts in a conical stack.
    • Serve.

    I don't get this that dishes here have to be always made as in their native country, no cream in Carbonara?, why not if people like it, call it something different if it offends people. Consider pineapple on a pizza an abomination, fine don't eat it, I think its lovely.
    Complain that Chinese food sold here isn't authentic?, you're free to make your own chicken feet with rice etc if it makes you feel better. Most people who get the likes of sweet and sour chicken balls from their local takeaway don't care if its eaten in China or not.

    As you say call it something different. It is something different.

    First they came for the socialists...

    If you are making Carbonara and are in a hurry pre boil your water then freeze it. Just defrost it when you want to cook the pasta and you've saved yourself loads of time

    After all this talk of creamy carbonara I've decided to make the real deal tonight, cant wait!

    So I bought cream (I wasn't sure if this is required or not, nobody mentioned it on the thread), pasta, wafer thin packet ham to save cooking time, it's also crumbled for extra edge and guacamole. A meal fit for an Italian king!

    Throughout the entire process, you can never have too much.

    You basically add carbonara to your cream then simmer whilst continuously adding cream

    Dolmio is absolutely vile - it's sickeningly sweet I really don't know why people use it.

    Students use it. And Uncle Bens jarred filth.

    Oh and because I can't see one person has said this, no cream in carbonara sauce.
