    I will say right now with a passion, whoever invented spaghetti must’ve had a low bar to go by. It’s both a chore and a test of etiquette. Some people twirl it and eat it in forkfulls, others slurp it, others cut it, and typically each of these are considered rude by whoever doesn’t. And then there’s me, because dexterity, I don’t know. My happy place when eating spaghetti is twirling it and then vacuuming it from the fork like the people in the second category. And that is why I haven’t had spaghetti in years.

      When I was a kid I was invited around to a friend’s house for spag bol. I was never invited back. I hear they had to mop sauce off the ceiling.

      Spaghetti is so popular as a pasta form factor not because it’s easy to eat, but because it’s easy to make (as in the production of the noodle, to the storage prep, to the cooking).

        Spaghetti is the hardest pasta to cook. You have to keep stirring it to ensure it doesn’t clump together, but you can’t stir it too hard or it breaks apart.
