Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

a ragu is a generic term for a meat saucein Italian cooking. Bolognese is a very specific ragu from Bologna. However, it bears fuck all relation in reality to anything ever served in this country, or that you can buy in a jar. Mainly because for some reason people seem to think it's a tomato sauce when it isn't.

ragu' alla bolognesethe wonderful thing about italian cuisines is that there is a very specific way to make everything which varies wildly depending on who you ask.
Use carrot, don't use carrot, use onion, don't use onion, use red wine, use white wine, don't use wine, you're using too much meat, there's not enough meat.
I love the italians. Arguing passionately about what's really important: how to make a good pasta sauce.
