So tired of that stupid cultural thing where people say you can't break linguine in half because of italian culture or somethingShut the fuck up!
>>20976279No u.
I genuinely hate Italian-Americans and their larping. Then it got viral numbers of views on social media so it got super played out. Fuck spaghettimunchers.
>>20976279It makes the texture worse because shorter noodles don't wrap around the fork as well.
>>20976279you can do whatever you want, but why would you? it wouldn't even occur to me, I've never eaten pasta and thought that it needed to be shorter. so I don't really judge you for it but I do kind of question it.
People who break the pasta are white trash. If you're brown you're already garbage so do what you want with it, break it and put whatever ooga booga seasonings you need to, who cares

>buy pasta specially made to be long>make it not long
>>20976408>>20976409ERM
>>20976409i dont like long pasta
>>20976441>I don't like long pasta>should I buy short pasta?>no, I'll buy long pasta and then break itI mean, ok. but why?
surely one would break spaghetti to cook it easier not because it's too long to eat
>>20976441then buy the short ones
>>20976532why not buy the long ones and make them short
>>20976536because it's silly
>>20976511that's the reason people normally give but I don't really get how it is any easier. pasta becomes soft almost immediately in boiling water so you just bend it into the pot. maybe that's difficult if you're using a realllly small pot, idk, I never had any problems doing it.I think the whole thing is just a meaningless tradition, probably started by people when pasta first started spreading outside of Italian communities in America and who didn't know the intricacies of cooking with it yet. and it's been passed down, and now people are too entrenched in it to admit there's no purpose because they don't want to be losers. to be fair, some Italians take it too far, I don't think it's done to disrespect their cuisine but just out of ignorance. so I understand the response to dig your heels in.
>>20976279What people say this?
>>20976279there is nothing wrong with breaking spagheti I mean spagheti is poor people food so no point in eating it, but it doesn't matter what you do with trash food.
>>20976552I break it because long spaghetti is messy and stupid.
>>20976292Once breaked/broken spaghetti are still MORE than long enough after cooking for any twirling you desire.
>>20976552>some Italians take it too farDo you mean Italians or "Italians"? Cuz I'm from Italy. I break spaghetti, fettuccine, linguine EtAl all the time. So does every other Italian I know. Only "Italians" who can't even pronounce their own surnames correctly have strong opinions because they've nothing else going for them.
>>20976942>cant spell basic words>is insufferably arrogant and probably poor You are such a huge faggot.
