This logic is why I’m currently in the processing of making ice cream at home, and even pondering making some chocolate peppermint crinkle cookies to go with the ice cream!

T156,

Since it’s a Mastodon post, why not just cross-post it than a screenshot? ActivityPub should let you do that over Lemmy.

olutukko,

what the other guy said + the fact that nothing inplies that the op actually saw the mastodon post instead of just a screenshoto f it which they forwarded here

You actually can’t. I think you should be able to, but currently you can’t. You can post from Masto to Lemmy by tagging the Lemmy community in the top level post, but tagging in a reply does nothing

In fact actually you can’t even really crosspost from Lemmy to Lemmy. Posts that link to the same thing are lists as cross posts, but aren’t actually directly related. Text-only posts can’t be recognized as crossposts at all

The best thing about being an adult is that there’s no one to stop you from just buying a whole cake at the store and taking it home to eat it.

fsxylo,

Of course the Italians had to jump in.

If someone served a Cheeseburger to them, they’d be screeching “This is not a proper Italian Cheeseburger!”

pasta doesn’t even need to get involved

Yeah but that nosey little prick always has to involve themselves.

MeDuViNoX,

You can also make garlic confit. Basically, cooking garlic submerged in a neutral oil. Then spread it on bread/toast, top with some cheese, and broil it in the oven until melted.

Bonus garlic flavored oil as a byproduct!

DarkThoughts,

Or just garlic butter, which is about as easy as it gets. Ideally with a garlic press. You can pretty much also add any spices or herbs you want / have to it too.

Eating more calories than you burn makes you fat. Skinny people ate bread for millinia.

troglodytis,

It’s a scene in a fun movie, not a dietitian’s thesis.

NeptuneOrbit,

It does beg the question of my garlic bread and pasta “go together”. Pasta, butter, bread, garlic and tomatoes is NOT a meal.

Anything’s a meal if you eat enough of it

NeptuneOrbit,

Any meal is a dildo if you try to eat enough of it.

AA5B,

Is this actually a combination to the rest of the world? If this is just a US thing, maybe it’s from the “low fat” diet that made us all fat

NeptuneOrbit,

I don’t know about the rest of the world, but this meal has very little protein or fiber in it. I think there can be value to fat, but if a meal is mostly fat and carbs… Then can it really be that good for you? Won’t you be hungry again in an hour?

AA5B,

Throughout most of my life ….

  • everyone pushed the “food pyramid” as a guide to healthy choices, but that was way overweighted in carbs
  • general recommendation was to eat less fat to lose weight and improve cardiovascular health…. But that fat tended to be replaced by more carbs
  • eating less meat was pushed for a variety of “health” reasons, so replacing meat with more carbs must be good, right?

We’ve had decades of poor nutritional recommendations, even poorer habits, and corporations pushing “healthy” options that are not. It’s been getting a bit better, all too slowly, but we have a couple generations facing the consequences of poor eating

NeptuneOrbit,

In my humble opinion it’s not carbs that are the boogey man, but particularly the ones in the pasta and bread you normally buy at the store. White bread.

I think if you had a little more Quinoa and potatoes and skipped the beef, you’d be in a better place than eating beef meatballs, tomato sauce, and white pasta. My two cents.

Everything is a trade off, to a degree.

DarkThoughts,

Most heavily processed foods can make you fat, because they're typically very high cal for their total mass.

GregorGizeh,

Why would you make a carb side dish for a carb loaded main course? Must be american “cuisine".

Quetzalcutlass,

Hey, bread is served with meals in most western cuisine. The American part was adding loads of salt and fat on top of those carbs!

GregorGizeh,

Fair enough, though I would argue that the side/appetizer bread doesn’t count because restaurants mostly serve it so the customers gorge themselves on something cheap instead of complaining about tiny main course portions.

DarkThoughts,

I only know it for things like stews and soups, maybe some fried veggies, not for literal noodles.

Damage,

The only time you need bread with pasta is at the end, to perform “scarpetta”, cleaning the leftover sauce with the bread.

At which point the garlic kind of defeats the purpose.

After a couple of years in Tuscany I even started buying into the idea that salted bread is also a bit overkill.

Damage,

I freaking hate Tuscan bread lol

Garlic bread is not a thing in Italy at all. Italians eat white bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Garlic bread is an American dish, popular among Italian Americans as a substitute as they couldn't get olive oil in the US.

@wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Ok, but to address the jerk’s “point”, a carb based side for a carb based entree is not some uniquely American thing.

Damage,

pasta entree

fsxylo,

Pane al’aglio and bruschetta disagree with you.

sab,
sab avatar

Bruschetta is a completely different thing. I can't remember ever having it with butter at all.

Pane all'aglio is just Italian for "bread with garlic". Italian cook books will market it as an American dish.

fsxylo, (edited )

Garlic bread is not a thing in Italy at all.

You said this. It’s wrong. Even if it’s marketed as “American” it still is a thing in Italy.

And apparently it’s good enough to import, even if they’ll publicly scoff at it.

sab,

Sure, it's as Italian as a big mac and sauerkraut.

fsxylo,

Garlic bread is not a thing in Italy at all.

Again, that’s what you said.

And you’re wrong. It does exist in Italy. You’re just arguing for the sake of it now.

peopleproblems,

Hmmm. Lose weight, or enjoy endless garlic bread.

Are there any side effects other than obesity and hyperlipidemia?

herrcaptain,

The main side effect, other than those two, is having yourself a really great time.

xor,

Garlic breath

doingthestuff,

That’s a perk.

@chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world avatar

Sure, pasta doesn’t have to get involved, but I’m gonna involve it anyway. I fucking love pasta and garlic bread.

SpaceNoodle,

Shit, I’m gonna make some soft sourdough loaves for this very purpose this weekend

AA5B,

That’s the part I’m lacking. Store bought sliced bread is not the same

SpaceNoodle,

Basic bread is really easy to make. Humans have been doing it for dozens of millennia. I do get a bit fancy these days and use a bowl, spoon, a bit of salt, and a temperature-controlled oven, though. Otherwise it’s just water and flour.

  • SpaceNoodle,

    You can use natural yeast that’s just floating around, too, so that’s not even necessarily a separate ingredient.

    yoyolll,

    Hell you don’t even need yeast at all. You can make a great flatbread in 30 minutes with just flour, salt, and water. Add some olive oil and baking soda to take it to the next level.
