Fork + soup spoon as Italian gods intended

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, but in Italy basically noone use a spoon for spinning spaghetti.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It's allowed for small children I think.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

this is the way.

for confused people, you use the spoon as a base to spin onto.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Then remove the fork and eat what's sitting on the spoon

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Why the spoon? Are you eating from the pot? The plate is more than enough.

I eat spaghetti the best way, by encasing it in sausage casings, then eating the warm spaghetti tubes with my hands, as God intended.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'll start doing this too. Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Spoon.

Refuses to elaborate.

How the fuck do you eat spaghetti with a knife?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's like fork only but you're able to cut up the long strands

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This sounds like blasphemy, I will not entertain it (unless you have a condition that necessitates making food more accessible to you, in which case, party on dude).

You.. cut it?

How do you eat spaghetti without a knife? Do you just pray that you don't accidentally strangle your family to death with all the rogue spaghetti tentacles flying around?

Damned if I know, but I’ve seen people do it. I always have to remind myself NOT to make a scene and tell them how stupid they look.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I don't eat spaghetti that much, but when I do I cut that shit up 'till it's macaroni. I've also used a spoon or just a fork and managed, but with a lot of sauce that's less convenient to me.

The blank stare for NOTHING is absolutely perfect.

My first thought... "is this from the guy who draw crab comic?"

*check*
It IS from the guy who draw crab comic

Fork then eventually transition to nothing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fork and knife/spoon - use the fork to spin and the other to cut off the pasta. This allows you to get a decent-sized mouthful without looking like these 4.

Also chopsticks. I could never but a friend I used to talk to swore by it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Twirl fewer pasta noodles.

I’m just imagining you trimming a spaghetti bush on your fork with gardening sheers.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nr 1. That is the way.

Nr 4 should be put out of their misery.

I Lady and the Tramp that shit.

I hate long noodles and will ALWAYS cut them up with a knife and eat them with a spoon. Needless to say I don't have and spaghetti at home because fuck spaghetti.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was once taught that you can easily cut spaghetti using a cup turned on its head. It honestly works great if you don't mind the cup being a bit messy!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What.. how.. why would I want that instead of a knife?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

With a cup you can cut a whole plate of spaghetti into small pieces in a couple of seconds. Doing so with a knife is much harder and takes longer.
