This one's not going to be very long. But I felt the need to have a ponder about those foods that just aren't worth the effort.

The one that really gets my boxers in a bunch, is Spaghetti.

I don't know what Luigi or Gianfranco or any other stereotypical Italian name you can think of where thinking when they decided they'd create a type of pasta that actually makes you angry.

First of all, it comes in sticks about a mile long, so instead of just chucking it into the pan, you have to wait for it to go floppy and bend it gradually until it all fits... That's 3 or 4 minutes I'm never going to get back! I could have used that time to do something productive like watching about 10 episodes of 'Purple and Brown,' or clips of the Swedish Chef for God's sake!

(You'll notice, if you click on the Swedish Chef link... Spaghetti is involved... I'm not just a pretty face, I think you'll find.)

So yeah... when it's all cooked and whatnot, you have to drain it. That's fair enough, but because it's a stupid shape, and it's all thin and stuff, it manages to escape through the holes in the Colander... which is seriously annoying, because it gets stuck in the plug and goes all scatty and slimy.

Everyone knows what happens when you try to eat the stuff... It goes literally everywhere. It collects whatever you've decided to mix it with, and moves it onto your face, and makes you make this horrible slurpy noises that the world would be better off without.

When I was doing some 'research' for this little blogette... I came across this...

I don't care what anyone says... It is physically impossible to eat Spaghetti without looking stupid, or putting someone else off their food. My Grandad tried to teach me the way years and years ago, and I still come away looking like this guy:

What Luigi and Gianfranco need to realise is: 'If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it'

Stick to making Pasta Bow Ties, and make the world a much better place.

Ciao.
