Would have been way funnier to make it all "macaroni" or "pasta" and leave one tiny section for "spaghetti", because somehow that's the distinction people make.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No, that would've been accurate.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

Shush. Don't confuse me with facts.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

In persian "macaroni" is actually the umbrella term for all noodles. So persian macaroni are spaghetti most of the time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

But there are no noodles here, only pasta, noodles are usually in Asian meals

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

noodles are pasta but pasta aren't necessarily noodles since all pasta is spaghetti, as the meme foretells.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Important western noodles include spatzle and egg noodles!

I'd argue that pierogi/vareniki count too, but I understand if you disagree.

Yeah, those are all pasta. Spaghetti is all the long noodles.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Spaghetti is 1 type of long noodles. You have spaghetti, tagliatelle, bucatini, linguine, vermicelli...

There's no spagetti on there... just macaroni...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Pasta corta nowadays. Short pasta. Maccheroni is how they were called by my grand grand mother.

I don't know whether it's a urban legend, but apparently Icelandic has a hundred or so names for snow. We have many specific words for what is important for our survival. 🍝🍕🤌

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Here in Sweden the rumor says that its the Inuits who have 100 words for snow.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Fun info about that for meme aficionados: that expression and its various clones are the basis for the general concept of those reusable templates called "snowclones".

But if Italians have 100 words for spaghett, did somebody touch mine?

Here in Australia the rumor is that snow is made up by other countries to flex on us!

Same with Inuit. I guess it makes sense when snow is such a dominant part of your life.

There are gnocchi, gnocchetti (small gnocchi) that are pasta. What you know as gnocchi are properly called "gnocchi di patate" in italian, i.e. potato gnocchis

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's the answer, the gnocchi pastas imitate the shape of the potato gnocchi. I also wouldn't really call potato gnocchi pastas, like if I invite people to eat and say I'm cooking pastas, nobody's expecting potato gnocchi. But I think in Italy they're in the same aisle as fresh pastas. The thing is - and op's picture is correct - that italians actually differenciate between different shapes of pasta, for the simple reason that pasta shapes have functional reasons and different shapes correspond to different dishes.

Isn't there some new pasta shape that was specifically engineered to give maximum surface area for which to be coated with sauce?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Shape into bowl.

Fill with sauce.

Drink sauce from pasta bowl like it was a glass.

The only shapes that matter are big, small, and toob. The rest are only distractions.
