... not all of them, not always, but very often I am used to carry with me at least two things - God thanks for rucksack -
a head of garlic
and a
jar of peanut butter.

I like to add peanut butter on spaghetti bolognese and pizza 4 kinds of cheese and top all of that with garlic, a lot of garlic.

And I don't mind other guests that might look askance.

There is a Chinese restaurant in Belgrade - whose waitress thinks it´s cool to take garlic with.

There ain't no such thing.

And if there were, people who put peanut butter on it would deserve hanging, drawing and quartering. And then mincing, tomato-ing, simmering for several hours, and serving with tagliatelle.

I can relate to this, I put it in the sauce when cooking spag bol at home.
I also love cheese n peanut butter sarnies so the pizza thing would work for me too😛

I don't know what that bowl is supposed to contain, but I can tell you one thing: it most definitely isn't "spaghetti bolognese". There is no such thing, even if you are foolish enough to put ragù di carne alla Bolognese on spaghetti instead of on tagliatelle, as you ought to.
But that bowl wasn't even that, that's obvious even from that photo. Not nearly enough meat and the colour is too watery. It might have been spaghetti alla Napoletana - a bad one - and yes, ragù alla Napoletana does go over spaghetti, and typically does not go over tagliatelle like Bolognese ragù- but it probably was spaghetti with "unspecified tomato sauce". This is typically mistaken for "spag ball" in Anglophone countries, and I'm afraid in the Netherlands as well, but it is, I assure you, miles, nay old Imperial leagues away from the real thing.


And even with random insipid tomato sauce over your spaghetti, putting peanut butter on it is just silly.

Everybody knows you should use Worcester sauce.

(Oh, and I'm also doubtful that that really is peanut butter in that jar. It looks suspiciously like it might contain sugar, quid non.)

A few weeks ago a German friend celebrated her birthday in a new English resturant in Berlin.She invited me and some of her German friends. There were lots of condiments there including,funnily enough,a pot of marmite.They all ordered fish and chips and one of the German guys started spreading marmite on his fish!! It was very hard not to laugh.He did it for about 3 forkfulls and then must have decided he did not like it and stopped.It made my night.
