You just want sauce and spag? Really?

---

Are you talking about meat in our spaghetti sauce?

Yes. Spag Bol. I never seem to see meat in it in movies and shit. Just noodles and sauce.

---

Don't judge stuff based on what you se on TV...
Also why does all European food look disgusting?

---

We definitely do meat with our spaghetti. At least my family always has cooked up some hamburger meat before throwing that and maybe some mushrooms into the sauce. My wife is a fan of premade meatballs so we go with those now.

We generally have a meat sauce in this family. Usually some hamburger but I've done shredded chicken before (though chicken not very often).
I also made hand made meat balls twice this week. I made like 100 frickin meat balls this week.

---

I think it's just Google images food being disgusting looking in general.
My favorite pasta dish is a baked ziti/rotinii with sauce, cheese and meat (usually ground sausage and/or ground beef), but it is usually just regular pasta sauce, and the meat is added separately, but the meat is not in the quantities that I find when looking up "spag bol" online.

I also like a regular baked pasta. Take some cooked ziti,layer it with a mixture of pasta sauce and sliced sweet Italian sausage and top it with some cheese, and bake it for a few minutes.

I think that Spaghetti in general is a poor man's pasta, and generally don't like it.

Keep in mind, that I don't like a lot of foods, so I'm not really a good representative of a "regular" American. I don't think I've ever just eaten ground beef before, it is usually mixed into something (like pasta), or cooked into patties or balls. Don't mIncE mEaT me, I'll start calling Hamburger Patties, .

---

There was something I ate last year that had pan fried hamburger with it, but I can't remember what it was. Really good too and now I feel crappy for not remembering.

---

Not American but I've never liked meatballs. Insert joke there. I'd rather eat spaghetti with cubed chicken or something.

Actually no. Anything an American makes is actually nothing like the one from the culture it is based since we stir left to right unlike european nana who stirres right to left or some shit.

I mean, I've eaten it with just sauce, but that was out of straight up laziness. Same with eating just buttered noodles.

TC has apparently never heard of spaghetti and MEATballs.

Even when I'm too cheap to buy meatballs (or too lazy to make them), I'll brown ground beef and toss the chunks in there. Just eating spaghetti with sauce doesn't feel right to me.

...are you aware that meatballs.. have meat in them..?

That would be why I capitalized meat, so yes.

But generally speaking, American spaghetti doesn't have both. Like, if you have spaghetti and meatballs, you won't also have meat chunks in the bolognese, and vice versa.

---

Because I dont see what point you're making. I said spaghetti without meat specifically... Meatballs are meat...

---

You think they use real food in movies and tv?


---

Sometimes I'll just eat buttered pasta.

But in all seriousness, this is coming from someone who cooks ramen, drains the water, and adds seasoning and oyster sauce and thinks that's delicious.

Yes. Spag Bol. I never seem to see meat in it in movies and shit. Just noodles and sauce.

Yes we do. It depends on what people like of course, but we do have spaghetti and meatballs and spaghetti and meat sauce. Sometimes with seasoned ground beef, sometimes with ground Italian sausage.

I interchange hamburger beef and ground beef. It's ground beef. I don't literally take premade hamburgers to make a meat sauce.

No one here says spag bol, that is likely the source of your consternation. In America, meat is already understood to be in everything, so it's just known as spaghetti. If you want meatless spaghetti, you'd specify it.

He's not American, meat isn't assumed to be in everything in America, and he's talking about depictions in media where it literally is just red sauce on noodles.

Of course he isn't American, what American except for Eclair would make a topic asking about what it's like in America? Those people aren't Americans in media, they're Hollywoodians, and they aren't normal. They drive Teslas and identify as vegans in their public profiles. There is debate on whether they are, in fact, people and not just intergalactic cockroaches in Edgar suits.

Spag Bol

You mean Spaghetti Bolognese?

Yes all the time.

---

itt there are no immigrant American chefs

---

That's basically what my mom makes. Bits of ground meat in tomato sauce.

---

Most people don't know how to cook well.

---

The venom in this thread is hilarious

---

I prefer angel hair pasta with chunks of Italian sausage and veggies in the sauce

If it doesn't have meat in it then it isn't spaghetti bolognese.
---

We call it just "spaghetti" around here but yes; it's the only way I eat it.

---

My mom and grandma and every restaurant I've been to makes spaghetti sauce with meat in it, only person I know that doesn't is my aunt but she makes up for it with plenty of meatballs

So I google spag bol and all I see is spaghetti. Is there something special about it I'm missing?

Spaghetti bolognese is spaghetti with chunks of ground beef in the sauce instead of meatballs.

The traditional dish is spaghetti e palline di moe believed to have first derived from sacchetto di alimentazione della famiglia di moe. Others have tried to put there own spin on it, but for me, nothing beats the original.
