        It’s allowed for small children I think.

      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.

        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.

        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.

    Nr 1. That is the way.

    Nr 4 should be put out of their misery.

    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.

      Twirl fewer pasta noodles.

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

    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.

      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!

          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.
