  Redundant carbs is the cornerstone of British working class food culture. The pinnacle of this practice is the legendary glaswegian macaroni pie on a roll.

    Is that a macaroni sandwich?

      Yes in a way, but so much more! A macaroni pie is macaroni cheese filling in a pastry case (usually a single serving size that fits comfortably in a hand). Pie and roll is a delightfully Scottish way of eating a pie. You get a pie, and a buttered bread roll, and you put the pie in the roll, maybe with a bit of sauce (we enjoy red sauce and brown sauce in Scotland), and let nature take it’s course.

        I’ve never been so glad my ancestors left Glasgow till hearing this. You poor bastards.

  I don’t know, loading up some spaghetti on a piece of garlic bread is pretty delicious

    Same reason that the chip butty is a crime against all that is holy

  Yeah it’s the bread and pasta combo that’s gross, not the Spaghetti-Os, or that horrifying “sauce.”
