Triple-cooked Chicken Bolognese in a Mug

Chicken bolognese in a mug:
stays hot but requires ice cool eating skills.

As you can tell from the photo, the pasta is actually sitting above the mugline. This made it easy to eat initially, as one might use one’s lips to consume an ice-cream at speed. Unfortunately once past the mugline, the sauce itself was too stodgy to remove through pouring.

Pros and cons emerge from the next stage — the small exposed surface area ensured that the meal remained hot, which is excellent, however the only non-cutlery based consumption method was to use the tongue to scoop, which resulted in the sensation of burning. In the end I was forced to employ a teaspoon.

In summary, pasta from a mug is not something I relish again, although I realise that I have used an atypical dish as a first attempt.
