    So I work in hospitality and recently was invited to dinner. I ordered Spaghetti alle Vongole and subconsciously ate it like how I usually do (using my fork to scoop up the food, and slurping up the hanging noodles) so now I'm watching etiquette videos to never make that mistake again.

    I cut spaghetti with my fork, then scoop it.
    Blasphemy? Yes. But it works so incredibly well.
    It's easier and faster than twirling, and you avoid having to slurp or awkwardly eat lose strands.
    If you value efficiency, cleanlines, and manners, it is the best way to eat spaghetti.
    But if you just enjoy twirling, go for it. It's objectively less efficient, but many people enjoy the feel of twirling. And that's fine.

    I've always eaten it with a single fork, and that's it. However, today during a college lecture, the prof said - I'm a CS student; how we got to spaghetti, IDK. We were talking about starving philosophers and semaphores - that what our example assumed - that we need two forks to eat spaghetti - was wrong, and I was like, yeah it's obvious, why'd you need two? And then he goes "you eat it with a spoon and a fork" and I spent the rest of the lecture thinking about where the hell the spoon goes.

  • @dpfb1263
    @dpfb1263 3 месяца назад

    Eat your spaghetti/linguine any which way you want. I have seen too many "experts" telling others how to eat spaghetti & it's ridiculous.
    I'm not actually sure what the term "real" Italian means, but I think I'm a "real" Italian. If all 4 grandparents came here from Italy, do I meet the standards to be considered a "real" Italian"?
    I have never heard "REAL" in front of any other ethnicity, except for Italians. Why is that? Like my mother said when she heard someone say "real Italian”. She literally had to laughed at them, and she said... "What's with this real Italian stuff? Either you're Italian or you're not. There is no in between." If you're calling Italians who live in Italy "real" Italians, that's weird. Just call them Italians. BTW, there are tens of thousands of people who were born in Italy that don't have Italian DNA, yet they're Italians. After all, Italy is their country & if they speak the language then they are Italian.
    Now back to me, a 2nd generation Italian American, who doesn't like spaghetti dangling on my chin. To avoid this, I use a spoon to twirl my spaghetti onto the fork. One of my grandfathers did the same, the others did not. I grew up in a town with mostly Italian families. Some ate their spaghetti with a spoon, most did not. There are no set rules on how to eat pasta, or for that matter, how to make certain recipes. That would be like comparing how to make an apple pie like a "real" American. Well, "real" Americans use MANY different recipes, so who's the "real" American? Same holds true for Italy (different regions. Different towns, cities, and once so many different isolated small villages). Not every ragu sauce is made the same way. However, what will be the same are the fresh ingredients, no short cuts allowed, and understanding that cooking is all about family & friends. Sit, eat, drink, and enjoy.

    She calls herself an international Etiquette expert but didn't research probably by saying that "according to Italian's there is only one right way to eat spaghetti is only with a fork." That is wrong, that is what people today are doing because they don't know how or cant be bother to eat spaghetti the traditional way by using a Fork & Spoon. I'm Italian and i grew up the Prober Etiquette way by using fork & spoon. Also with pizza when your in a restaurant you use a fork and knife now that is etiquette she probably doesn't know that either.

    I use a fork against the spoon. I don't think it matters which way you eat it as long as you have control of the pasta and it's not slapping against your chin or sauce is dripping on your shirt. I do think it's odd when an adult cuts up and eats spaghetti like you would for a child.

    The mise en place is wrong, on the right spoon and knife, on the left fork and napkin, but maybe this change based on the country. The only way to eat spaghetti, and every type of long pasta, is using only the fork, the is not difference such as north vs south or home vs restaurant, only good manners vs bad manners.
