Spaghetti science

I liked this excerpt:
Essentially, the problem amounts to: "Why can't I slurp up a strand of spaghetti without getting sauce on my face"?

Slurping? You haven't tried twirling? Recommend highly. Or go to penne.

I was quoting something from the article...you did read where I said that "I liked this excerpt". I found it funny, that's all. I don't care for penne that much, though my husband does. Also, I make my own homemade spaghetti and freeze what I am not going to use immediately. I do not slurp, that's poor manners or something expected of an eight-year-old, though I don't remember slurping spaghetti even then.

Me neither, slurping is a no no 😂

I think the last time I saw spaghetti slurping going on was in an animated movie with a couple of dogs. I think it was Lady and the Tramp maybe. The kids were pretty young so that was probably 23 years ago?

Yes! That’s the last time I saw it!
It’s presented as romantic but honestly I think it’s a bit gross 😂

Ditto, poor example of proper manners to show children. But if all kids thought that what they saw on TV and in the movies was okay the world would be in big trouble. Wait--too late! :thumbsdown:

Not spaghetti, but noodles...
I spend some time in Japan donkey's years ago. And when in a noodle restaurant, everyone slurped their noodles.
It was incredibly weird for me as a Western European. ..
I just couldn't do it

I think that mostly the noodles are served in broth? Probably a lot less messy than a big puddle of tomato-based marinara, LOL.

I tend to break up the noodles before cooking them and adding them to a broth based meal/soup. I can't abide by slurping. Although when I was a small child (from ages 4-6) we lived in Okinawa, Japan, and apparently the house maid and the sewing lady cooked me all kinds of dishes and I am sure there were noodles in some of them--but I think mostly rice, because to this day that's what I prefer eating with Asian cuisine most often.

Ah yes noodle slurping is a different thing altogether and no I don’t like doing that either.
What’s that thing where some people can’t abide hearing other people eating? Misophonia?

OMG. I must have it. Well, no, I suppose it depends on what it is and how they are eating it. If it's crunchy food and they are eating with their mouths closed it doesn't bother me, but getting both a visual of a gaping mouth sloppily masticating food and getting the soundtrack to it is disgusting.

Oh my, we are still talking noodles but we have somewhat veered off the spaghetti science topic. OOPS.
