Thread: Baked Ziti or Tacos?

I don't know what zitis are. The little boy in me wants to make a pun about acne.

Personally, I have a love affair with tacos. My poor wife made the innocent mistake of heating up the corn tortillas a month or so ago instead of frying them. That mistake has not been repeated.

Fried corn tortillas, diced steak, cilantro and lime. Marinated cabbage, cholula...mmm

I just had to Google it, it's like the pea version of mashed potatoes, I'd be willing to give it a try

I put them over the top of my chips which already are smothered in salt and vinegar, then add ketchup.

Why choose when you can have both?

All this smothering belongs in the lounge.

My preference is dipping my chip in the mushy peas and eating everything with my flippers. Forks interfere with the pleasure.
As for peas and ketchup that's a step to far, it's an either or in Shark Camp.

Kind of what I was thinking. Tacos for lunch...ziti for dinner...tacos after some heavy drinking...leftover ziti for breakfast...repeat

I'll ask Dave to start the mushy peas or blood pudding thread soon, especially for you
If we're lucky I'm sure he'll throw in Spotted Dick as a third option.

We could do a Celt one too - options being:
Haggis
Welsh cakes
Heroin

You guys need to get more I think. Ziti is fantastic. Its easy and everywhere. If you want a good italiano meal go for the fusili.

Tacos are tacos but are always good. I dont understand the sudden obsession with them though. Everyone seems to be all up on tacos like they are a brand new food the world has never seen.

You lose me when you say fusilli is a meal. All fusilli is is a type of pasta. A bolognesa with fusilli pasta? Explain yourself!

And, for anyone that isn't familiar with Baked Ziti. Ziti is a type of pasta (a round tube not too much different than penne), and when you make baked ziti it's almost like a casserole of culinary heaven. You mix ziti, ricotta, maybe some sausage or meat from meat sauce, and a really good sauce. Then, you bake it in the oven. Typically, towards the end of the baking, you would put some mozzarella on top and put it back in the oven, so that melts over the top.

So, on the one hand, a fairly simple dish, but with the right sauce, and cooked right, very good. As Chaz said, can also be great leftover, even cold.

Tned just showed you how it's done, U29.

That sounds fantastic.

It took a lot for me not to make fun of you for frying your tortillas.

How do you prepare your corn tortillas? Please don't tell me you eat tacos with flour tortillas.

I just love the oil in my taco shell.
