What are you eating tonight?

One strange to me item I usta have in San Francisco back in the 70s-80s was The Joes Special, served by that same named diner located in a kinda run down part of town. Yeah sometimes I'd get a crazy pull towards eating one and it was an interesting area to walk around.

Sooooo, keep in mind I was making em (Joes) for myself until the 90s and then done. Damn spinach did me in...heh. Still, maybe it was the beef/ egg thing too.

Here's the operational instructions.......something y'all might not have thought existed. Hah, not to be mention so world famous popular in one city!

It ain't carbonara if you're using parmesan! Pecorina, man! @dodgy ... but your method reads well.

You just need a rebrand @Mark ... yours is actually a sort of Cacio e Pepe.

Both Cacio e Pepe and Carbonara are classic Roman dishes, both based on sauces from pecorino and pasta water. Carbonara levies egg yolks for the sauce while Cacio e Pepe goes mad on the pepper and brings it in from the start rather than ground over at the end.

When making your own food you do it how you want, with whatever you want, "classic" recipes are just for inspiration.

Cottage Pie.

You miss the context here ...

Mark made a Veggie Carbonara ... Dodgy said it ain't a Carbonara without salty meat and then proceeded to tell us how he uses Parmesan. I say it ain't Carbonara if you use Parmesan, it's Pecorino ... and Guancale, which I guess he skips also but hey, the Pope is Catholic and so they can insist on salty piggy.
