Breaking Spaghetti in Half Is A Good Way to Cook It, amirite?

My spaghetti glued itself together into a log when I cook it sometimes.

So what is the reason that is upsets people btw? Its a cultural thing sure but is it based in anything? I kind of assumed it was because handmaking pasta into long strands is difficult and then drying it and storing it so maybe its disrespectful to the work it took to get it long? Obviously this doesnt matter when its machine pressed from the store but is that where the root of "getting mad about it" stems?

Afaik spaghetti have this exact length because it's the perfect length to get it spun onto a fork

Idk about other people but when im spinning one strand I always end up catching another one at some point and if i kept going i'd end up with the whole plate on my fork.

You…spin a single strand? I just stick it in, twist and take whatever the pasta gods give me. I'm not sure if you're the monster or I am lol

That's how you end up with a wad of pasta the size of a baby's fist

And the problem is?

Yeah and I don't like spinning it onto a fork. It just tastes like a wad and makes it harder to taste the individual noodles.

Considering the number of times you see an internet-Italian get extremely, super, very upset about these things you'd think you'd see some reasoning at some point, but somehow you never do. I've tried asking, but no one ever answers.

Its actually hilarious the responses I'm getting. I dont even break my spaghetti personally but I'm about to start with all these replies that arent giving me any explanation except "don't do it! Bad bad bad! It's not even hard!" Lmao like I asked what's the explanation for their ire, not for more ire!

It upsets Italians because being insufferable about their mid tier food is their primary cultural identity

Italian is mid tier? Hot take my friend

He's right. Italian food tends to be simple with much less complex flavor profiles. It can be good don't get me wrong but Italians act as if their way to make a dish is the only way when there are a bazillion ways to make their dishes and a lot of them are better than the "traditional" The arrogance is annoying

But (in my OPINION), simple food with great ingredients is the best type of food for sure

Italian food does not automatically imply great ingredients.

by Loose_Mastodon_576 1 hour ago

It should though. That's kind of a big part of it. If you're doing Italian food, there's keynotes that need to be hit. Such as San marzano tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella. Without these, no matter how much care or effort you put into your pizza, it'll never be a Neapolitan pizza.

Compared to French cuisine and chefs I've worked for, it's not even remotely close. But i get where you're coming from.

by No_Stranger3409 27 minutes ago

Yeah but French food is the best food of all time.
