It is a real American thing with tomato sauces and pasta, I suspect originating in cheap canned tomatoes used in passata where the flavour is slightly acidic or metallic from the canning process? Or maybe to replace simmering with sweet vegetables in classic Sunday gravy.

"We'll always have Parrots" is so annoyingly bad for how funny it is in the moment.

Oh, it's a tongue in cheek reference to the advert where a guy ruins his pasta sauce by adding too much sugar and AI persuades him to use it to make cookies

Not quite the same, but I remember taking a friend to see Casablanca when our local indie showed it, and about twenty minutes from the end he went "oh, that's what Red Dwarf were doing"

So, they are a thing, but unsurprisingly, the ingredients don't include a whole jar of passata cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1023...

To make veggie, sub out the lamb for pre-cooked lentils, but I would say that the lamb's grassy, gamey taste works best with the sweet heat of gochujang.
To up the veg content, finely diced, or grated carrots will add a little extra sweetness, but should pair well.

- Simmer until spaghetti, or wheat noodles, are cooked.
- Add pasta to the sauce along with splashes of cooking water
- Simmer gently, stirring often, until thickened into a sauce
- Optional: off heat add a tablespoon of cold butter and stir til emulsified
- Garnish with spring onions tops

Also, if you want an actual "Gochujang pasta" recipe
- Sauté minced lamb on a high heat til brown
- Lower heat, Add thinly sliced spring onions, reserving the tops for garnish
- Add garlic, sauté til fragrant
- Add a tablespoon or two of gochujang, and stir til sticky
- Add a glug of white wine

But yes, I would argue from the apparent progress he'd made:
Added gochujang to a huge bowl of passata and spilled sugar into it, there isn't really a plausible way to get back to cookies. It's already far far too wet.

So, what I would say is that neither of the ideas sound bad, per se? I've made a quick gochujang ragu that was tasty, and gochujang in either a savoury cracker or as a sort of salty hit with caramel both work, it's just neither is obvious, and the latter is a terrible solution to his current problem

I've done a sort of gochujang lamb ragu which was very tasty! But it was also a classic "mid week meal, let's use some cool tricks to make it flavourful quickly.
comment in response to

For anyone curious, the actual answers to "added too much sugar to sauce" are:
- Increase the batch size, diluting the relative amount of sugar.
- Add sour flavours, with gochujang lime or rice vinegar would work well to balance it out.
- Add heat, less effective here with the already spicy sauce.

It has developed the Microsoft thing where moving one box causes everything else to move in bizarre and unpredictable ways, which is easy enough to work around, you just detach everything first and then move it, but is symptomatic of a low quality of life tool.

Whilst it has issues, it's impressive how much funnier and consistent The News Quiz is despite going through a string of hosts and the odd ropey guest.

There are still areas where you can largely live outside the Empire's direct authority, but those are shrinking and the Empire in those areas is free to massacre jawas and humans fairly freely and without repercussion suggests a fairly total form of power.
comment in response to
post
Yeah, this feels right? You can see that the Empire has a bigger more militarised presence on Tattooine than the Republic era, but also that the Stormtroopers are still seen as relatively new and dangerous (Luke's remarks after they attack the Jawas), which suggests it's consolidating, not total.

At the risk of just repeating your own thoughts, isn't this the ur problem with post-Thatcher tory thought? The people do not yearn to be free, they yearn for stuff.

Yeah, whilst I lean certain ways, I can accept "water nationalisation is not a priority" in all cases except Thames Water, where nationalisation is the pro-business option. My preferred option involves punishment beatings.
