A few times I wasn’t paying attention and the eggs in my carbonara set, becoming spaghetti with scrambled eggs. It was pretty good anyway. And I love ramen noodles in omelets, but no way is that carbonara.
It’s not so much if it is authentic or not but cream makes it always just way too unbalanced and fat-forward and mask the flavor of the pork.

I don’t like the taste of the egg in the pasta sauce. I also don’t like the texture of the sauce.
I’ll stick with amatriciana or cacio e pepe.
I back this. The ham and pineapple play well, but the jala is something that just works to make that combo sing.

personally, I don’t think there’d be anything wrong with mixing lemonade with double malt whiskey… the French like a drop of tonic water with their VVSOP and XXO Cognacs, so I understand

I’m always baffled how much people care about how or what other people choose to eat when it has absolutely zero effect on them.
The only abbreviation coming to my mind here is MYOB.

Right!
I used to take great offense when people would bastardize foods from my cultures - eg Monster Truck “sushi” rolls - but I have mellowed a little. But maybe only a little. After I’ve mellowed a little more, I may drop the quotation marks!

I believe you (or maybe @Lectroid?) put it best elsewhere on this forum. Let people eat what they want, and only judge them silently 
No adult likes to be lectured on their choices.

I remember a “food police fight” on an AOL Food board back in the Dark Ages. Someone made “the best” Fettuccine Alfredo with cream cheese and the uproar was epic. Perhaps not “the best” to many of us, but it was best for the OP who posted the recipe with cream cheese in it.

Absolutely. I mean, half the fun of judging other people is the chance to feel superior without consequence.
You are not accountable for what’s in your head. Only what comes out of it.
