The best drink to go with pasta-based foods?

Postby Capn Tayth on Wed May 21, 2008 3:33 pm

What do you think is the best type of drink to go with pasta? I've always liked Lemon Iced Tea, for some reason... anyone else feel the same?

And on a completely unrelated but related point, what is Kool Aid, and is there a british equivalent?

So... what do you think?

with pasta give me real Chianti from the region - mamamia!

do not know about Kool Aid equivalents in the UK, but be careful who you take it from, it can be lethal

Cold beer is good, but being British, my real preference is for tea.

I usually drink milk with all of my meals at home.

I usually do a good Chianti if they're fancy noodles, but if it's just something basic, then either beer or water.

Kool Aide is a sugary powdered soft drink mix. You pour it into water and then add what seems like half a pound of sugar. After drinking a glass, I'm pretty sure your teeth will rot out. Do not give it to children, unless you are about to send them home. It's best with cheap vodka in it.

Man, I sound like a drunk.

An Australian Lambrusco (not just the French hate us for our superior quality wines - the Italians do too, only they don't get as worked up about copyright issues in the names).

I recommend Maglieri. Easy to drink, flavoursome, not too expensive.

Cab Merlot works well too.

Took the keystrokes from underneath my findertips.

Totally love a good Italian Chianti. If you make a spicier sauce (or add gallons of red pepper as topping as I do :mrgreen: ) this is excellent fare.

Milk raises your cholesterol? How so?

I drink 2% milk, if that changes anything.

Do not worry!

I have read that 80 % of cholesterol in the blood is endogenous and only 20 % - exogenous and the cholesterol in the food is not the same as the cholesterol in the blood.
We need some amount of cholesterol for the organism to function, so it is like a vitamin.

Merlot is excellent with a nice juicy steak, think ribeye or porterhouse...Merlot with pasta??? not so much

I usually have a beer ( I brew my own, so whatever type I made last)

If I was going to drink a wine with the pasta, it would be a chianti
