The
New York Times sat down with the owners of three Manhattan Italian
restaurants to discuss the correct way to eat pasta. They mostly agreed
on a few rules: you don't put cheese on a seafood-based dish, you don't
break pasta before cooking it, and you don't eat spaghetti with a spoon.
As
to the use of a fork plus a spoon for eating pasta, all those at the
table were adamant. Spoons are for children, amateurs and people with
bad table manners in general.
Egi Maccioni recalled her childhood
days of eating pasta. ''My grandparents spent hours teaching me how to
eat pasta without using a spoon, how to twirl my fork so that not a
strand of spaghetti would be hanging down as I lifted that fork to my
mouth.''
Does anyone really ever eat spaghetti with a
spoon? The article begins with 1975 advice from Elizabeth Post
recommending it, but I'd never heard that before. How you do eat
spaghetti?
