Using salt in boiling water

He doesn't know anything else - what makes you think he knows how to eat steak?

I use a "tee-ei" which originally came from Europe.

It is similar to a tea ball which is sold in the UK:

Example:

Butter abroad is nearly always rank. I always put it down to being near rancid than the lack of salt.

Shredded mdf with a Lloyd Grossman sauce. Yummy

So, there are two schools of thought:

(A) That pasta must be cooked in water with some amount of salt (B) That pasta must be cooked in plain water

All the evidence I've seen suggests that (A) is by far the larger group.

And there also appears to be a sizeable subset (of both groups), that think it makes a real difference, and have their pet theories about why their way is better.

I'm not alone. As I said, most references appear to go with (A).

(BTW I belong to school (A), but practice (B); make of that what you will...)

I just like salt with my starch, that's all.

Last year, I made my own version of tomato sauce and pasta, enough for two meals. I ate one on the day it was made and put the second one in the refrigerator. Next day, the second portion had swollen to twice its size and there was very little sauce left. I gave it 50% for eating qualities.

I suppose it's this forlorn hope that everyone, no matter how ignorant, must know at least one thing.

The last thing you want when in a restaurant is Dennis sat opposite you eating a steak with his gob all covered in tomato ketchup.

Funny how I used to eat it in Italy, then

How many brothers has he got then ?

The Italians have somehow convinced us that pasta and pizza constitute a cuisine.
