Ricotta has its place, but one time I had a potful of it in the middle of a four cheese pizza and it was a disgusting soggy mess.

For the life of me I cannot get used to Americans calling lasagne sheets "noodles"

"Between two thick slices of white bread, you'll find a generous filling of diced beef in a tangy tomato and herb sauce, layered with cooked pasta sheets and finished with a creamy cheddar, ricotta and mayonnaise dressing."

xpost I follow Chef's Club on facebook and the french one has a lot of rolling white bread flat in order to make shit like that. I would still eat it since I see it has no bechamel to create disappointment.

Holy shit at the lasagna sandwich. Only in England.

The idea of a cheese board being called the cheese board delights me. It should exist imo.

I will be the mod. ILTMI and ILC so it makes sense really.

Tesco also did a paella sandwich around the same time

and we try to claim american fast food chains are "innovative"

keep on keepin' on, tesco

In New Zealand you can get these little palm-sized lasagnes that are breaded and deep fried. So terrible, so delicious.

I worked for an Italian restaurant run by a family from Naples and their lasagne featured bechamel and also hard boiled eggs.

I would love a cheese board where we can talk about food. Or maybe change the title of the cooking one that no one uses. I feel like a lot of the old ilxor's that left talk a lot about food on their fb's. Like, talking about indian food yesterday with JBR.

Lol that how to cook Indian food video was hilarious.

hold up

HARD BOILED EGGS

I love hardboiled eggs. But not in lasagna. (although I do softbake eggs on top of pasta a lot).

Oh, they're my go to favorite snack. It's the inclusion in lasagna that has me a little confused. I mean I'd definitely try it.

The traditional lasagne of Naples, lasagne di carnevale, is layered with local sausage, small fried meatballs, hard-boiled eggs, ricotta and mozzarella cheeses, and sauced with a Neapolitan ragù.

I would post daily on a cheese board

that's mighty gouda you

Oh man, I love meatballs in lasagna. I don't quite know what hard boiled eggs would add? I would try it. I mean bechamel is pretty much added because it's cheaper than cheese to give lasagna richness. Ugh, I hate it.

I remember reading somewhere that they put hard-boiled eggs on pizzas in Brazil.

you guys have to try the lasagna nachos at olive garden. feeling good!

its a great app before digging into your meatball pizza bowl. yeah!

my stepmom used to suspend a hardboiled egg inside a meatloaf, it really weirded me out

hahahahahaha

Jesus those are disgusting but I would house both of them if I were stoned. And not a vegetarian.

oops xpost

same, alas :(

this is pretty interesting:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9chamel_sauce

Balsamella or Besciamella is the Italian equivalent of the French Béchamel: a very simple white sauce of flour, butter and milk. The sauce was originally from renaissance Tuscany and was known as “Salsa Colla or Colletta” ("glue sauce") because of the gluey consistency of the sauce, and was brought to France by the chefs of Catherina de’ Medici in 1533. Louis de Béchamel, Marquis de Nointel,[6] was a financier who held the honorary post of chief steward to King Louis XIV. The sauce was prominent in Italian cooking texts of the Renaissance as "salsa colla", but was renamed much later in Le Cuisinier François, published in 1651 by François Pierre La Varenne (1615–1678), chef de cuisine to Nicolas Chalon du Blé, marquis d'Uxelles. The foundation of French cuisine, the Cuisinier François ran through some thirty editions in seventy-five years.

The eggs are sliced and layered thru the lasagne - I quite liked it, adds some creaminess, which is also why I like bechamel

béchamel mucho

Bechamel is what you would feed through an eyedropper to a baby squirrel.

ftr I never said ricotta is disgusting, it is just weird and bad in lasagna, making a "just right" dish far too heavy and cheesy

Please everybody enjoy as me to make you lasagna when you see me, nobody I have made my margarita lasagna for has been anything other than blown away

The Hazan recipe for lasagna is excellent, ignore the homemade lasagna noodles imo, just use store bought, if your sauce is ready it only takes 30 minutes to assemble or less even

All cheese are good except:

1. Budget toilet-puck-smelling Brie
2. Bad Wensleydale-- already a 3rd tier cheese
3. Cheap feta

In fact if I had a controversial option about cheese it'd probably be in the 100 Best Uses For Goats list:

1. Befriending
2. Following up a mountain
3. Conversing
4. Depicting in artwork
5. Dressing in cute outfits
...
121. Cashmere
...
1000. Cheese

Feta is always bad

But lots of good goats cheeses besides tbh

I don't usually love chèvres but dummy that I am only learned today that Roquefort is a chèvre & I love Roquefort so there you go

brebis > vache > chèvre

feta is good u savage xp

Feta is always bad

1/4 of me wants to fight you for this, the other 3/4 are of British descent so ....

Feta is always bad

But lots of good goats cheeses besides tbh

not all fetas are made of goat milk ... some are sheep's milk, some are mixes of goat and sheep. if you don't like goat feta try sheep feta.

i grew up eating feta the way white people eat butter (toast topping of choice, breakfast lunch and dinner) so hearing you say that is like ... hearing someone say rice or beans are bad. it's a staple!

i have bought/tried feta in the usa and it is always so salty

feta in canada is not so salty

these things are true across a bunch of brands so i just don't understand it

here we choose between greek & bulgarian & turkish fetas ("fetas"), they are a little rawer tasting than the Chicago feta I ate while in the usa

but if you take away the brine it's not that different from like queso fresco, so we've used it a lot in mexican cooking here
