No reason why it shouldn't work, I'm dead serious that you can largely swap out rice, pasta, and chips in a recipe. You already put curry sauce on chips and rice, mince and tomato based sauce on rice or pasta. Curry on pasta is not weird it's just demonstrating that interchangeability. Now if you want horror, consider that I once ordered chinese and they missed out the sweet and sour sauce, so I had to use ketchup. Not great, but edible.

There's no reason it shouldn't work. It's a great fusion. Also "the things that were in the house at the time" is the entire history of recipe science.

My favourite food crime is mince with ground pepper and onion fried up until its just started crisping topped with macaroni cheese. Bang it in the oven. And it somehow works just don't look at the grease on your plate.

It was as vile as you can imagine, but still probably better than what you're suggesting.

I’m a bit of a traditionalist but in principle I can’t disagree, they’re all starchy flavour vessels in the end. I’d say chips are the most versatile of the lot. There is NOTHING they don’t go with while I can imagine sweet and sour pasta being a bit odd but still potentially good?

DesperateDan posted:I like a lot of different pastas but if I made some rich bolognese then the best partner to that is some crisp mcain homefries I had a complete failure on the sunflowers last year. This year they all came up, but none have reached proper height before flowering (three feet) - I think they got a bit too dry at a crucial time when they were doing all their growing. But the two biggest that have flowered seem to be developing extra heads so maybe they're going to have another cracking at it. I have one which is just under four feet and is just getting ready to bloom. Here's a happy bumblebee on one of the 'runt' sunflowers (18 inches) today:

OwlFancier posted:Rice, pasta, and chips are of the same kind. I used to sometimes get veg chow mein (so, noodles), salt and pepper chips, satay sauce and rice (well, my wife would have most of the rice but I'd have a little bit) from my local Chinese in Milton Keynes. Lovely meal that. Carbs on carbs on carbs on carbs. Also cheesy chips on pita bread, with chili sauce from my local chippy. There's just something about putting chips on bread that feels sinful, like that traditional French dish Ortolan where they would drown a bird in brandy, and cover their head with a towel to hide their face from god. Sadly the Chinese place made me really sick one time and then mysteriously closed down soon after (though actually the sickness thing had caused me to actually look at their food hygiene rating for the first time and discover it was a 2, so I stopped ordering before that), and the chippy got sold to new owners, and the Chinese family who took over, lovely as they were, couldn't seem to grasp what I wanted when I asked them for cheesy chips in pita bread, even though it was there on the menu that they kept exactly the same as the last owner had it. I explained it a few times but like, I'd have to repeatedly break it down to them step-by-step each time, even though it was the same guy serving me. Toast the pita lightly, open it up, put cooked chips inside with cheese mixed in and on top, put the whole thing in the microwave for 30s to melt the cheese, put chili sauce on top. It wasn't even a language thing, the guy could speak perfect English, I just think that the mad Brit's crazy food combo broke his brain, and he didn't instinctively understand the order of operations like a grizzled 30-year chippy owner would, which I can understand. I am not as fat as the content of this post makes me sound, I'm just vegetarian, so fast-food options are often carb-heavy for me through necessity. Let nobody tell you that vegetarians are healthy. Pizza, ice cream, nachos, chips and crisps are all vegetarian. OwlFancier posted:No reason why it shouldn't work, I'm dead serious that you can largely swap out rice, pasta, and chips in a recipe. You already put curry sauce on chips and rice, mince and tomato based sauce on rice or pasta. And oh yeah, this reminds me, I went to an Indian food shop here in Ottawa a week ago. They had the equivalent of Bachelor's Pasta 'n' Sauce, but it was like Spicy Masala Pasta and things like that, they had a few different options. I didn't get any but goes to show, they are definitely a thing. Also Indian ramen instant noodles, with Indian-style curry flavours. I have had those before, they're decent.

The chips are probably greasy enough that you don't strictly need it, but you could also put the butter in your chips to melt it and then put it in the bread. Which i guess makes it a kind of fried jacket potato sandwich.

kecske posted:we already live in britain m8 Not me. But then, the things I used to get that would put me in food hell, I can't get them here in Canada :'( Proper British chips are one of the only foods I really miss. Really good British Indian Restaurant food too. Poutine is alright (fries with gravy and cheese curds - sort of semi-non-melting cheese - think halloumi-ish) but it's not a patch on cheesy chips with curry sauce, mainly because fries are not chips.

So, I can only assume that creating chlorine gas is the point, as fumigating your bin with chlorine is probably a very effective way to sterilize it, while I do not think that vinegar otherwise enhances the germicidal properties of loving bleach.

WhatEvil posted:Proper British chips are one of the only foods I really miss. Yeah I had the same experience in America, never could find them. If they are crispy you are doing it wrong! (and if they're actual fries which I had at some 'fish and chip' places over there, well. And I never did find a substitute for the good old saveloy) Hmm, my sweet and sour sauce recipe iirc is something like tomato paste, pineapple juice, vinegar, sugar, a bit of cornstarch.
