Thinking any pasta besides spaghetti is spaghetti requires some major mental gymnastics
Bucatini and linguine are pretty similar tbf
Yeah, empty spaghetti, flat spaghetti… you could also add the thick spaghetti : spaghettoni.
Norwegian here:
- Long thin stick - Spaghetti
- Straight tube - Penne
- Curved tube - Macaroni
- Bow tie - Farfarelle
- Made of potato - Gnocchi
- Sheet - Lasagna
- Everything else - Pasta
both sides of the original meme are wrong, cmvThis plus all the different Italian names for coffee which, as far as I can tell, are mostly just describing the amount of dairy added.
Just having bought an espresso machine and reading the coffee types listed…
Holy shit this is true, it’s like eight types that only vary but dairy or even just the amount of “micro foam” on top.
Not only the amount of dairy.
For Italians, “caffè” is just espresso. Then you have “americano”, which is similar to filter coffee even though it’s usually made by adding warm water to an espresso.
Then you have “ristretto”, which is a shorter espresso.
Well, if the coffee was in different shapes, they would give them all sorts of different names too, even if its the same thing across the board.
Starbucks already did it. They welcome all to order their more than 20 oz Venti, their medium Grande or their small Tall. Just don’t pretend words have logical meanings while you drink your $10 burnt coffee.
My wife calls them “noods”(nudes). “Can you grab the pool noods? We’re having sketti tonight.”
Growing up, my dad would always pronounce it “pasketti”, and he’d elaborate by saying “I can’t pronounce spaghetti, so I have to say pasketti”
I’m sorry but if you call gnocchi spaghetti, you’re an idiot.
Not even “pasta”? Tsk tsk.
It’s all ‘pasta’ in my house. Including the spaghetti.
And it’s correct, all spaghetti are pasta, but not all pasta is spaghetti
I at least split it into categories like Spaghetti and Macaroni.
Which category do you place bucatini in?
Spaghetti. Once cooked and with sauce and protein most people might not even notice the difference.
Oh I definitely notice. When I try to suck up the buccatini like it’s spaghetti it’ll make some disguting mouth noises and I’m left with full lungs and half a mouthful of pasta dangling out of my mouth.
And what’s a Farfalle? Or is this a cheeky sex joke?
You can put it into the macaroni category or call it Bowtie. If you wanted to give me a harder one then Lasagna would have been a good choice.
definitely not macaroni, there’s no hole in it
farfalle are the type species for the “there for chew, not to hold sauce” category
Gnocchis isn’t pastas it’s potatos
Its even older than pasta here in europe
