Cabonara.

Warm pasta (not hot because then it will cook the yolks), a little olive oil and quality pancetta bound with good egg yolks (raw) and parmesan, maybe a little basil if you like.

Serve it as the yolks fluff and the pasta is glossy, job done.

Dad says that cream found it's way in because of ignorant customers complaining that they weren't getting their money's worth when served a proper cabonara cos there's nothing to it (like most Italian dishes), they put cream in it to bulk it out for the commercial restaurant market in the 80's. ;)

Makes sense. Much like bologness moving from a very rich spoonful of sauce to seemingly half pasta half watery gloop.

No meat in a proper Bol either, it's a vegetarian ragu dish.

Pasta is for lunch or a starter in Italy, it's quick and easy to set you on.

Meat balls are even served in a big bowl on there own, not with pasta.

We fuck everything up really, too many cooks and all that. lol ;)

If it makes you feel any better I've not enjoyed food for months, I've had shits and a bad gut since August.

Yes I'm too damn lazy to go to the doc, till something drops off.

I think I have IBS or something. Pissing out of my ass non stop, stomach cramps, vomiting, intense chest pains, headache, zero appetite. Went to tesco earlier for some fruit juice and near collapsed by the time I got home.

Not sure if its good for my body right now, butnpicled up some tubs of haggendazz baileys ice cream for 50p a go :-)

Call it what you will, it's not.

Prosecco and Cava are not Champagne and Brandy is not Cognac. ;)
But it is, just a different version of it, just like a currys a curry just different versions off it, come on yorkie ur not so narrow minded to think that carbonara can only be made one way, the way ur dad says so?
