Humpty Dumpty didn't fall, he was pushed !

I guess everyone has their preferences, but that strikes me as a dumb wait to eat, so I agree with the Italians.

I had to chuckle at the statement that spoons are for amateurs.

your mission, should you decide to accept it, Mrs. Phelps, is to go to an Italian restaurant tonite, bring a Flip or Vado mini camcorder with you, and make a video of your spoon method. I have never seen anyone eat spaghetti that way.

now being part of a Sicilian family, I always twirl my fork against my spoon to make sure I get all that lovely carbolisciousness to my mouth.

We always got a fork and spoon when served spaghetti in restaurants as well as at home.

That's the extent of my Italian.

eat spaghetti soup with a spoon....but Gar...spaghetti? Wher'd you hear of such a thing???



"Somedays you're the dog, and somedays you're the hydrant"

you take the spaghetti and pick it up with your fork, use your spoon as the base to twirl the spaghetti around the for and when there are no lost strands you either eat it off the fork or push it on the spoon and eat it off the spoon. zzzzz

slurping up noodles is fun, but it's frowned upon.

1) 1974:
'Most restaurants (and hostesses) that feature pasta provide guests with a large spoon as well as the knife and fork. The fork is used to spear a few strands of spaghetti, the tips are placed against the spoon, which is held on its side, in the left hand, and the fork is twirled, wrapping the spaghetti around itself as it turns. If no spoon is provided, the tips of the fork may be rested against the curve of the plate.'' ''The New Emily Post's Etiquette,'' Elizabeth L. Post, By CRAIG CLAIBORNE

2) 1982:
As to the use of a fork plus a spoon for eating pasta, all those at the table were adamant. Spoons are for children, amateurs and people with bad table manners in general.

Egi Maccioni recalled her childhood days of eating pasta. ''My grandparents spent hours teaching me how to eat pasta without using a spoon, how to twirl my fork so that not a strand of spaghetti would be hanging down as I lifted that fork to my mouth.''

''At home,'' she added, ''if I couldn't master the technique, they'd punish me by taking all the food away.'' Is it improper to allow a few strands of pasta to hang down as it is transported to the mouth? ''If the pasta is cooked al dente,'' Mr. Nanni said, ''you are bound to have a few strands hanging.'' If the pasta fits that neatly around the fork, Mr. Giovanetti added, it is overcooked.

Mr. Nanni volunteered one exception to the no-spoon argument: ''If your sauce is very liquid - a juicy primavera, a clam sauce - you might use a spoon to prevent splattering.''

We always use a fork and spoon to eat our spaghetti.... you lift the spaghetti with the fork and then place it in the spoon and gently twirl the fork while still resting in the spoon, this makes the spaghetti wrap itself into a nice neat ball and then ............ lift the fork and eat !!!

See.... you're an Aussie now !!!!! LOL
