Spaghetti fork (Original Post)
rug
Jul 2014
OP
Fla Dem
(23,677 posts)1. Any Italian worth their garlic learns how to twirl pasta as soon as they learn to hold a fork.
But give him props for ingenuity.

Meat, that is.

That's the beauty of eating spaghetti or chow mein. It's perfectly acceptable to suck the longer ends up even if they slap your cheeks while you're doing it. It makes you look like you're a connosseur when you're doing it.

Who eats pizza with a fork?

-snip-
In these polarized political times, there's finally an issue Republicans and Democrats can agree on:
What were Donald Trump and Sarah Palin thinking when they ventured into Times Square the other day and ate pizza with knives and forks?
Or as New Yorkers say: fuhgetaboutit.
The Donald has shifted into damage-control mode, explaining in a video on YouTube why he eats pizza with utensils instead of by hand.

(30,947 posts)16. That's the way I have always eaten spaghetti.
Just use the spoon as a base and twirl the spaghetti on it. Easy.

(34,136 posts)5. I'm waiting for the Mad Magazine version
That had a scissor on the bottom to trim off the dangly bits.
Packerowner740
(676 posts)7. That's just a bartenders spoon with the fork on the end
Rather than the spoon.
SkatmanRoth
(843 posts)12. If you are left-handed, it twirls the spaghetti the wrong way
Could cause indigestion if the whole plate is eaten with a reverse spin.

(72,300 posts)13. That's great! Down south we used a spoon to twirl pasta on the fork.
Bob Balow's fork looks easier than this ^^^ newfangled eating utensil.

the Bronx too.

(14,275 posts)17. Where's the instruction video or using a spoon?
My soup is getting cold and I can't figure it out.

(82,333 posts)18. Hold it in your left hand.
Place it in the bowl hollow side down.
Sip.
Drip soup all over yourself.
Say fuck it and put in a Three Stooges video.
