Celery and carrots are normal in a Bolognese and rather authentic, mixed with onions it's called a soffritto

[@annaanna6411]

true. it's usually just cut way finer. We used to grate the veg (except onions of course), which is probably not very authentic but faster and delicious. Plus we use cellery root.

[@lisaj1622]

True! But my mother definitely didn't add them. I do now, but my spaghetti takes much more time to make, lol.

@@dragonfly9821 mine didn't either but she also used a ready made spice mix you just need to add water and minced meat to, soooo... 😂

[@xxJulietSmukke95xx]

I felt like I had to comment this too - It killed me when she said they don't go in the sauce. THEY DO!! The recipe she used looked quite traditional actually, down to the detail of not adding herbs. (The flavour comes from cooking the sauce for hours!) I've come to realize there is a massive difference between an actual ragu' alla bolognese and a British spag bol. Two very different things!

[@yoyopo8487]

[@yoyopo8487]

@@sophiemartin5757 We have this Cantonese version of chicken pie, french toast, etc. But the coolest thing to me is that the Brits introduced us to pastry and new ways to make baked goods, and now Hong Kong is famous for our "Cantonese pastries" and "Cantonese bakeries" 😂Oh, we also have our own version of hot cross buns that are eaten all year round. (All of the things mentioned above are eaten during "afternoon tea"). We're a messed up culture haha!
