Omfg!

This is a joke right?

And you think Sunday gravy is a ketchup bottle, right?

The cap thread and opening post leave me speechless.

I was raised to be a fastidious eater. I detest messy eaters and, if you twirl spaghetti, you will be messy.

My stepfather taught me European table manners. Fork in left hand, knife in right...and I don't put them down unless I'm going to take a drink of something. Elbows in at all times.

I even eat pizza with a fork and knife.

I rarely eat hamburgers but when I do it's with a knife and fork.

We were in Rome and I didn't notice how Italians do it.

Apparently it's allowed...

Thank God I grew up eating pasta like this, with a spoon and folk.
Real tomato sauce, the kind that cooked on the stove all day every Sunday.
Pork bones we would get from the butcher as the base for the sauce.
It make 3 meals a week.

When we had more money when I got older we would have meatballs as a treat.

Ground veal, ground pork and ground beef all went into them.

Knuckle heads think meatballs is round hamburger with breadcrumbs. They are not.

The Chinese and Japanese don't have knives on the table. Everything is cut in the kitchen and may be eaten with chop sticks or a spoon. Americans may also use a fork but I'll look down on those who do.

I always use chop sticks.
I have some very nice ones.

Looks like some crap made in western PA.
That is not Italian, more like something served at a waffle house or maybe Olive Garden.

Sorry.

It's good. I'm not sure who invented it.
 
So after you cut it with a knife, then what? Pick up individual pieces?

Twirl, small amount, spoon optional.

That actually looks good. Just looked up the recipe, reminds me of baked ziti that I often had growing up, ricotta, mozzarella, only difference was ziti vs spaghetti. Haven’t had it in years, now I’m getting a hankering for it lol.

No, not when you know what you are doing.

No cutting, twirl it on the plate, no spoon.

salad was eaten last, with only vinegar and oil dressing, so it could be mixed with the gravy that was left on the plate. I still do that.

Yes! My mother came here from southern Italy. She said the salad after the meal was to help digest the food. The salad dressing mixed with sauce/gravy and tons of crusty Italian bread was the perfect way to clean your plate.😋😋😋
