Sugar in Spaghetti?

[TonyDubbz]

Fuuuuuckkk no!

 

[konceptjones]

For ya'll that dont know, its not for the taste

The sugar helps with the acidity of the tomatoe sauce...which is important for folks like me with reflux issues

There may be some people that want their shit sweet, and I've had some sweet sauces...but if you see somebody sprinkle a little sugar in their bowl, it's for heartburn

Chemistry 101: Sugar does not cut the acidity of tomato sauce. To reduce acidity you need a base like baking soda or hot chili peppers (capsaicin is a base). Sugar makes it sweet so you don't taste it, but it does absolutely nothing to change the pH of the sauce thus if it helps with reflux it's purely psychosomatic in nature.

If the sauce is too zingy and takes away from the flavor I will add a tsp* of sugar.

 

[B_A]

It's only for real tomato sauce not canned shit.

 

[Dwayne]

Never put the sugar in the pot.

Only on your plate

 

[OldThoT]

Never put the sugar in the pot.

Only on your plate

Why.

 

[Dwayne]

Why.

If you mess up on your plate with putting to much in it you can just make a new plate

You fuck up the entire pot you fucked up the entire meal

Youre a thinking man. Thank you...

Sugar just masks the bitterness

bitter ≠ sour/tart.

Bitter would be biting down on an aspirin, eating a lemon peel, or that weird ass taste in tonic water which is a result of the quinine in it. If your sauce tastes bitter, then you have a whole other issue.

 

[OhMars]

My mom adds a little sugar in her spaghetti when shes cooking it. Helps to balance the sauce.

 

[JUDAH]

Yep.

And any of you young hoodlums that says no doesnt know how to cook.

 

[Lou Cypher]

Fuck no i dont put sugar in my spaghetti like some kind of fairy.

 

[SneakDZA]

Nah I only use San Marzano tomatoes so no need for that nonsense.
