Pimp That Snack

GIANT SPAG BOL!

    Well, I was looking around the forum and I saw the giant meatball pimp and what about making an absolutely giant plate of pasta. Pasta is makeable and you can make it to pretty much any specifications, is meatballs / ragu ( the italian name for bolognaise ( which is actually a fake dish that english people made up, but never mind that can be saved for another day and another topic ).
    Please give me feedback and ideas etc.
    Hehehe i was thinking this is how i could get some mince : [Guy with axe] + some other random emoticons...

    I am quite interested about that name thing. So Bolaignaise was made up by us ignorant english at the centre of the world?

    Well for a truly bligning spag bol, you'd need to make pasta the size of snakes and use chunks of meat instead of mince. Then you cry fee-fi-foe-fum, I smell spag bol, yum!!

    Maybe even whole cows! ...Ok maybe not, well instead of doing everything bigger and thus more pimped, how about making the portions bigger. Like make a feast for thousands and just feed 2 for a month! [Very Happy] In fact make a giant meal, the biggest plate you can find, filled with spag boll and a giant glass of wine...maybe a bowl of wine, could be done, the wine might be a bit expensive though

    I dunno, just cooking extra potions doesn't sound too pimping to me. I mean lot's of resteraunts will cook for 50 rather than one and they don't count as pimped gods!

    It needs to either be supersized or blinging to make the grade imo

    I agree, a huge spag bol is just a huge spag bol there is no challenge/creativity in that. Perhaps a table sized lasagne or something but to be honest I feel that these are meals NOT snacks and therefore not in the spirit of Pimp My SNACK!

    That aint pimping, making a huge spag bol all you have to do to see that is go to a school or works canteen any day of the week. Thats a poor pimp if ever I saw one.

    no ragu is not the italian name for bolognese. Ragu is Italian for a meat based sauce. The bolognese is ragu from Bologna, which is where the name bolognese comes from. It is NOT a 'fake' English dish.

    Ragu is an italian meat sauce, traditionally made with 3 meats, pork, beef and lamb. English travelers to bologna brought the recipe back home, but successively bastardised it and now it is most commonly made with beef, or only one meat. Did you know that chicken tikka was invented in glasgow or some other ( close to home ) place. I think it was glasgow, yea im gunna go with that.... [Twisted Evil]

    no, chicken tikka masala was made up in the UK.
    tikka has been around for ever, but it was too dry for ush brittishers so we added a sauce "masala".
