Right? How different really can it be from cornbread and chili

[–] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago

Looks far, far too mushy. I'd eat cornbread with spaghetti, but I don't think there's a way to bake a dish with both in them and have both turn out palatably, texture wise. Probably neither.

Properly cooked cornbread with a salty, meaty savory dish with some fat to it is great though. Just can't be raw.

Do it up with some BBQ sauce instead of marinara and add smoked pulled pork or beef? Hells to the yeah!!

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Cornbread tomato mac and cheese would probably be pretty good

[–] Alk@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Yeah it isn't the worst thing posted here. It might be good.

If I had a nickel for every time I was eating cornbread and thought, "I sure wish this cornbread were noodly..."

[–] Blackout@kbin.run 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No thanks. I prefer meatghetti and spag balls

Who TF is Davie?

That's the bowling ball-sized manifestation of my cheesy carbo dreams. It's disheartening to find out it's not real.

A man can dream...

No weirder than cheese on apple pie as far as I'm concerned.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Parmesan sounds perfect. Just a pinch of salt and nuttiness to temper the sweet. Or maybe a smoked Gouda to deepen the dark notes. Or some American cheese if you hate food waste and yourself.

[–] ma11en@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Good quality cheddar or Red Leicester.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Its not good to look at, but it should taste fine

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Yea, compared to what's on X-Factor.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don't think it's gross - not like some of the horrible taste combinations I see here - but I've never been big on the bread/pasta combinations that pop up. One I've seen a lot is a mac and cheese sandwich. It's just too much starchy stuff in one bite.

On the other hand, I love scooping some really saucy spaghetti onto my garlic bread, and this isn't super far from that. It doesn't sound great, but not revolting either.

[–] MacNCheezus 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It's almost as if all starches aren't created equal or something... 🤔

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Damn carbists.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

True, but for most of them, combining starch with starch just seems like overkill, not enhancement. I love mashed potatoes and I love rice, but never really want to combine them. Same with pastas and breads.

Maybe exceptions in moderation with enough other things. Like I've made Thanksgiving leftover sandwiches that have turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy on sliced bread. But the potatoes and stuffing are more like a condiment, with a lot more turkey and a good amount of gravy. And even then, they're not something I'd want regularly, and the bread is more of a convenience to hold it together.

This is a peculiar pecuniary participatory probability.

[–] bquintb@midwest.social 3 points 5 months ago

I'll have some please

[–] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 2 points 5 months ago

for someone who thinks chilimac is too much hard work

[–] Starkstruck@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

the texture probably wouldn't be great but it'd probably taste alright
