Ohhh you mean Subway - okay quick note on the name.

The sandwiches they serve - with the long rolls, is called a "Submarine Sandwich" - they don't have a TM on that, they've been around forever.

They just happen to make them - somewhat badly I might add, but certainly better fast food than most places.

I never order from there, there is an awesome place called "giovannis" right near me that makes pizzas and subs and they deliver.

5 bucks and BAM you got a meatball sub, or a breaded cod sub, or a sausage pepper and onions - capicola, pizza sub, whatever

been meaning to try their zuccini planks...

lol dave.....it was me who told you i was born n raised in philly....and u fell for it all that tym! 😂

ive only ever had Tuna from Subway.........i think the only other halal option is a salad sandwich

try this once....JUST ONCE.......Tuna meal, 6 ft paramesan oregami bread....if you want, cheese.....pick the salads you like....BUT YOU MUST GET SWEET ONION SAUCE.....and then get a crisp or a cookie....and my fav part of Subway....re-fillable drinks 😃

oh....

lol yea I was kinda curious about that since you said you had bad experiences with Mexicans on the streets of Philly... but there are no Mexicans in Philly - most of them stick around back home or go up to ohio.

YOU LIED.

Oh well... I lied to you - ITS TIME TO COME CLEAN. Hayder... brace yourself.

I made Timbo up.

There is no farmer from east sheffield named timbo.

lol....the philly thing was taken from Fresh Prince!!

and the mexicans from San Andreas.....The Vagos chico's with no Cohones 8)

i already knew you were Timbo, was all too obvious dave

lol haven't played San Andreas yet - but that sounds like the guy who runs the cuban mob in Vice City - the one who kept talking about "los huevos grandes"

lol I hope you aren't being serious about that last bit.

For some reason another member didn't pick up the blatent sarcasm of Timbo.

lol and it's "cojones"

i think one of the Mod's picked it up.....but he got moderated!!

[b]TheMan[/b] is clearly stamping his authority 😂

serious about which bit....?

lol knowing I was Timbo - I was being totally sarcastic the whole time... I thought everybody knew

Another member told me he "picked up on it later" - haha I was amazed

You heard [url=http://www.therevival.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1094]TheMan[/url]

STICK TO THE TOPIC

you should know me and Karnage are the best at doing anything but that

It's true that love and pride needs to go into ones cooking.

Otherwise the dish just turns out crap.

Like mine do when I'm not in the mood to cook... :oops:

Whats heuvos? or however its spelt?

Dave, did you see how sorry I was that I might have scared Timbo away, did you EVEN see the Tractor???

You could have let me know, instead of feeling guilty!

Also you should have said Chesire, its still local and believable. 😃

I believe Sheffield was more industrial than agriculture...Dunno.

I'm going to stop eating out. I only eat out cos I'm too lazy too cook.. :oops:

Does anyone know the quick and easy way to make pasta? I've never made it..

I tried making it the other day.

1- I placed the pasta in a saucepan of boiling water.

2- I kept stirring.

3 - After 7 mins I added the sauce to the saucepan.

4 - After 3 mins I drained the pasta and ate it.

No idea if that is how you're supposed to make it. I doubt it.

Tasted a bit funny - but then maybe it was because of the sause. Next time I'm gonna get spicy tomato sauce or something like that.

So its all down to the sauce. What kind of sauce did you use? And what kind of sauce can you get..

I'll be shopping tomorrow in Tesco's and seeing what I can pick up.

Some people even put Tuna or chicken in their pasta..

I used 4 Cheeses sauce. Gonna avoid that one from now on. There's some tomato one but I don't know any others. I'm new to this pasta thing.

I just went down to Asda and picked up what I thought might be good.

For my next experiment I'm going to try and see what I can do with tartar sauce. 😃

Lol.

Add pasta to boiling water, or to normal water and bring to boil.

let itr boil for about 7-10 minutes. You test it with the 'bite test' get a piece out (with utensils!) and bite it to see if its soft enough. (don't put the bit piecev back in). Leave until cooked.

Drain pasta.

you can either put he pasta back in saucepan, add sauce and mix with no heat or alternatively, with heat.

Serve hot.

2tips innabit Insha Allah T'ala! 🙂

i swear keema pasta is SO tasty...even better with ketchup

[quote="Dawud"]Lol.

Add to boiling water.

I could really do with more tips.

lol.

you thought you add the sauce while the water is still in there?

I cannot stand pasta.

I do not know why.

I love pasta but dont know how to make it, actually i dont know how to cook anything :oops:

I can make a curry but still working on chapattis, im far too slow :oops:

I find that when i cook a small portion it tastes good so next time mum/dad want me to make it. Except when i do it doesnt come out right.
Does that happen to anyone else?

When I play football, this is exactly what happens.

Consistancy is the issue, practise could be the remedy.

What i meant to say was that i cant get it right when the portion size changes.

I blame the asian style of cooking no one uses measurements, its all relative.

[quote="Beast"][quote="Dawud"]Lol.

It wasn't a question, it was a choice. 8)

But since you also asked for more tips, I'll try;

1./ If its one serving about two litres of water is Insha Allah T'ala sufficient, if its about four servings, double the water. (bear in mind the more water the longer it takes to bring to boil, however once its boiling the pasta will cook quicker, you could probably get away with half these amounts if you wanted. 😉 )

2./ Get a decently big pot for the water, you want about 2 inches spare above the water, incase it boils violently and the pasta sytarts doing small jumps like little yellow dolphins on a stormy sea. 😃

3./ Put about one one third of a level table spoon of salt oin with every litre of water.

This add a little flavour to your pasta, but more importantly, it raises the boiling point of water; thus your water will be hotter and cook the pasta fasta. (oh [i]I am [/i]hillarious! )

4./ About a plate of pasta will be enough for most people, but put in a sensible amount (a little less if its 'a practise' run, a little more if people ask for 'an encore'. Plan ahead, The Holy Prophet SAW has said, "war is strategem.")

5./For simplicity's sake, lets go with bring water to boil route, so do that.
(no need to stir it, the salt should mix in on its own Insha Allah T'ala)

6./Take pot off the boil and put it on another ring/hob or something(so its easier to control, i.e. so its less er..bubbly.) WATCH OUT for the other gas/electric ring/hob if you left it on.

6 part b./ Immediately add the pasta, but carefully so as not to get hot splashes, then immediately put pot back on the heat. (if you think its worrth give the pasta a cold rinse to clean before stage 1. but chances are, this isn't needed.)

7./ leave for about 5 mins (NO need to stir).

8./ Do the bite test, repeat step 7./ if neccessary.

9./Drain pasta carefully in a colander (In punjabi its called a 'channa'), Don'tt do any thing sill, if the steam rises up and gets too much, take a break and then carry on, seriously its one minute job tops. 🙂

10./ Put pasta back in a (any will do, even the one you just used) pot, put it on a cooker, add sauce, stir. (turning the cooker on is optional, depends how hot you want it, but the heat of the cooked pasta should be sufficient.)

Et Voila. 😃

I might give recipe for a cheese sauce and a tomato sauce.

Hope this helps.

Lol, was gonna say: "duh! its pasta" but then I remembered there was a time when I couldn't cook pasta.

Two words 'Home ec' (food technology, year 7, year 8 and 9)

Seriously I only know basic stuff. Seriusly I can't even fry an egg, good thing I prefer scrambled! 😃

My desi mum, dad and grandparents always say that. Thats a load of codswallop. My non ability to cook and the sh**** food that I've made in the past has never put of a truck load of desi's from wanting to marry me. :roll:
