vermicelli" common in BrE

I have one word in reaction to the last two posts - YUK! What's wrong with real food, people? ;-)

Too much trouble.

I have no idea what "rice-a-roni" is. It sounds like some kind of macaroni cheese but made with rice pasta instead of durum wheat pasta. To be fair, I'm not the best person to ask. I don't buy those kinds of "ready meals". If I want to make macaroni cheese, I boil some macaroni in a pan and I make cheese sauce from scratch, then I combine the two!

Me too, Ems.

Hey, we're Americans. If we're not eating it while we are driving, it's the height of sophistication.

I eat out, order in, or redo leftovers. I am good with leftovers.

Don't your canine patients get any of those?

The etymology of vermicelli is interesting. It means "little worms".

You are not supposed to think about that while you are eating it.

No way. They eat nutritious food. :lol:

It's the "roni" part of "Rice-a-roni." (Do you have that in the UK?)

This thread was the first time I had come across the name. I haven't seen it on sale. Mind you, I haven't looked carefully. I will have to check next time I am there.

Don't bother. It's not that good.
