Pasta is the food of the gods.

I don't even eat burgers and I still know a whopper is better.

 

You lie, Coma.

 

Wrong again martial man. America is one of the fattest countries in the world, #9 as you see here. You have to go all the way to page 4 of the rankings to find Italy, rated #111.

Curry sauce on a BIG MAC, you mean.

 

Go the Whopper and have it your way!

 

speaking of ramen, i love ramen (which is almost pasta), and boiling an egg in with it and only using half of the packet and putting chili powder in it and sometimes some chicken if i have the time to cook it up. that + a beer or water. omg its so delicious... i really want some now but i need to study and its 6am and i havent slept and if i eat hecka food ima go into a food coma it really is great fuel for the body though

and to resolve your century long argument between pasta and steak, try beef stroganoff, it's so amazing. and i really cant choose between the two - im from an italian family and eat better pasta than any of u (god bless my mother's cooking) but nothing can really compare to an awesome 20oz ribeye with a baked potatoe and... and... *user lost ego has gone away from keyboard to go cook*

 

Mmmm, ribeye!

Good old authentic Hungarian goulash on noodles. Yeah!

 

So long as its wholewheat pasta. I tend to avoid the plain white pasta. Its heavily processed. With wholewheat pasta you have a good source of low GI complex carbs. These digest and release energy slowly giving a more sustained energy release. They are better for the combat athlete on a cut too.

Eating clean is what its all about. While bodybuilding isnt my forte, when it comes to diet and nutrition a lot can be said for them. They know how to put on quality mass as well as shed the fat.

Hi Mortimer657,

I think 47MartialMan may have been referring to your rifle?

The pics a bit blurred but it looks like the standard L85 A2 with the CWS night scope fitted?

 

How long has a carrot been a fruit?

 

Carrots are vegetables! And while we're at it, tomatoes are fruit.

 

Thats exactly what it is. SA-80 L-85 A2 with CWS and under slung torch. Had it not been a result for me, as i'd passed my cpl's course with flying colours i'd have looked p****d off. We had nothing but rain, wind and even a heavy bout of snow and sleet while we were on that course. Plus by some freak accident i'd ended up with rat packs that were all the same. I ate rat pack Lancashire hotpot for the entire time.

Those were the days.

I want to love ramen and this sounds like a good idea about a boiled egg
