Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

There's an actual fork for spaghetti!?!

Why have I never seen one before? WTF is this conspiracy?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

I call BS. Every other fork (even the crab "pick") I can believe it have seen. I do not believe in this.

I have never seen this. italians spin their fork in the spoon to wrap the noodles, seems to work fine. That spaghetti fork would have terrible mouth feel.

I've never seen an italian eat spaghetti with a spoon, but maybe it varies by region.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

It's a very Italian American thing. It's not really something you'd see in Italy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Could be, an old Italian guy showed me the spoon as the base and fork as the spinning tool. But yeah maybe it is regional...or like giving white people a fork at an asian place

Seems like a common thing in North America. I've seen plenty of people use a spoon to hold the tip of their fork to spin it and ball up spaghetti (and similar noodle pasta).

I'm not even Italian, I think it's weird. Far be it for me to tell anyone how to eat though. So I just shut my mouth and eat my spaghetti, my way.

I've been to many italian establishments and have never seen them. probably just a gimmick nobody knows about

It would be so uncomfortable to use 😬

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

it looks like it needs to go to a fork hospital

just use a fork and a spoon for spaghetti like a normal person

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I still think it's weird using a spoon for spaghetti.

I've seen it done. I get why people do it. I still think it's weird.

Whatever. Be weird. So your thing. As long as it gets the food from the plate to your face, who am I to say it's wrong?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

I don't know why people can't just spin their forks and have the spaghetti wrap around? Never seemed like something difficult or requiring extra tools
