I have always been a Carbonara man myself, but Bolognese is amazing every time as well. Realistically pretty much any food out of Italy and I'm there for it. The pastas you ate looked delicious!
I always go for the spaghetti Bolognese love it with chips as a side dish. If you use the spoon instead of the bowl to twirl the pasta on its a lot easier and cleaner and i think you should of asked for parmesan on top i suppose they dont put it on automatically because some people dont like parmesan.
Basically I thought both meals were way overpriced. I used to provide these meals in my pub days and they went down well. I used mushrooms in my version of both of them. In the first test? The sauce looked like a tinned sauce. It was too finely ground up, so it did exactly look like a plain sauce. And yes it should have been topped off with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese. As for the second test? I thought the spaghetti was too lacking. There should have been a nice cheese sauce on it. Again some Italian mushrooms would have helped the flavour of the Pancetta. I think at those prices what was served up was a waste of cash. So I'll stick to home cooking.
If you try and order a Spag Bol in Italy you won't get one. It's ragù alla bolognese and served with Tagliatelle not spaghetti....the dish is also tossed to infuse everything not served like a curry 😡 Sorry to burst your bubble but this wasn't authentic and the restaurant should hold their head in shame 🤣 I didn't get to the Carbonara as these places clearly catering for the English market and having a laugh at our supposed ignorance. I'll gladly cook you an authentic dish for £17 as it will probably only set me back about £3 👍
The proper way to eat spaghetti is to use a spoon and fork ,lift the spaghetti with the fork and then use the bowl of the spoon to twist it in, cuts out all the fuss 😊
@@everydayimeating3407 yeh cause its Imported so doesnt have the reduced sugar cause of UK tax. I had some American pop other week and that tasted nice. Good for a treat but the UK stuff is just water nowadays. But that san pellegrino I get from Amazon when its on offer
Hard to choose i love both . But i dont order these from restaurants because often are blend or done wrong ,which should not be a issue but is . They should offer cheese on the side .that is proper.
I like Bolognese but it's so variable, it's pot luck if it's any good in a restaurant. Should be Tagliatelle not spaghetti but spag bol has become universal outside Italy. I prefer Carbonara, with tagliatelle and it's easier to make at home. The small Dolmio tubs are pretty good and you can fry off some smoked bacon bits to boost it. Add some more garlic to the bacon. If you cook it frequently you will have a block of Parmesan to add the extra flavour every time. I noted that both of the places were empty. Not surprising at those prices! You can get a 4 pack of the Pellegrino at Asda for what you paid for yours. Nice with a gin in the Summer......
Carbonara for me all day long, but it has to be guanciale not pancetta! Definately nothing else added like mushrooms etc.. That's not carbonara! A little more of the egg sauce and a lot more black pepper too. I eat carbonara almost weekly 😅
Please stop going to these chains , they do not represent good authentic Italian food . Find small family run independents you will be blown away at the difference . Spag Bol looked like something from a 2970s #school dinner . Pasta not coated in sauce ! Yuck .

Which one would you pick?
Comment below 😀
I love a spaghetti Bolognese. My gf does the best one ever... She puts chillies in it.... Love it ☺️☺️
A spicy spag bol sounds pretty good!
£17 for a basic small plate of bolognese with no bread or cheese?! Day light robbery.
Great video as always. Same as you mentioned though, I could enjoy a dish of spaghetti on its own. Keep these videos coming!
Thanks! Will do!
twirling is the best methode, using your spoon as a base to twirl it on the fork..
love a good spag bol will be making one this weekend
Its a classic for anytime!

Couldn't agree more! I love Italian food 😋

It's made for the British palate same with Indian and Chinese in UK. We like it, so you can't knock it.
@@nigel8499 Italians always get upset about British bolognese lol.
@@nigel8499 ...you'd be surprised at how many Brits prefer the authentic dish over this type of rehashed rubbish 🤣
Bolognese all day long, scientific fact
Its a tough call!

I dont drink pop but San pellegrino lemonade is amazing. Used to love bitter lemon but can only find the low cal crap
The san pellegrino really surprised me. It was really tasty!

The best restaurant cheese graters are in Olive Garden USA.
Carbonara every time 👍
Its the best!
Pretty expensive for something that is a really cheap meal to produce
Missing cheese and garlic bread
I know! I can't believe they didn't have cheese for the bolognese! Garlic bread would have been a nice side to add!
Bolognaise always for me but with cheese on top!
£17 for a plate of bolognaise 😳
Its a bit steep!
It was 13.95 for the Bolognese not £17.00 which is very reasonable it use to be £9.00 to £10 20 years ago at a good pasta restaurant.
Hard to choose i love both .

I was surprised they didn't!
I like them both equally
Delicious looking food. Love them both. Totally overpriced for Italian food though. I’m shocked at the prices you paid.
Carbonara every time especially with cheese on top😊
The pancetta in it really makes the difference!
Spaghetti with meatballs is the best 😊❤🍝
Bolognese at home. Carbonara in a restaurant. Because I can't make carbonara to an acceptable standard. Why? No idea.
I think I agree!
I love both but have fettuccine instead of spaghetti. Always have fresh parmesan cheese on top.

i would have the bolognese very expensive thankyou for vid when you next go to blackpool will you go to 1 pound buger man chris higgits plz
I'll look out for it next time i'm there!
Not gonna lie, I prefer the greggs next door 😂😂
Bolognese is better.
Why?
it hits the sweetness, the saltiness and the sourness.
While Carbonara, is just creamy and salt (with a lot of blackpepper).
Carbonara for me all day long, but it has to be guanciale not pancetta! Definately nothing else added like mushrooms etc.. That's not carbonara! A little more of the egg sauce and a lot more black pepper too. I eat carbonara almost weekly 😅
Carbanara
Ragu should be served with tagalelie not spaghetti
How to eat pasta: spoon in left hand and put 3 or 4 strands onto the fork then twist the fork against the spoon. I was taught when I was a child.
Thanks 😀 I'll have to give it a go
Neither... pasta is tasteless goo 😂 Don't tell Gino Da'campo.😂
I hope no Italians see this lol
@@everydayimeating3407 hahaha....
The Gino range at Asda is over priced and tasteless. Just like mama makes? I doubt it.
