Re: A three part series on authenticity

Enjoyed the series very much, thanks! One questions about eating spaghetti, please. We learned years ago to eat spaghetti from a bowl, with it twirled arounds a fork using a larger that T-spoon. Is that Italian? We weren't in Italy long enough to observe whether it was or not. Thanks!

@Jann from PA: Yes, absolutely! It's very important to eat pasta in a bowl, not from a flat plate. This does two things: it 'cradles' the pasta so you can twirl it easily with a fork (assuming you're eating spaghetti or another long pasta) and second, because the pasta is together, it stays warmer for longer.

On the other hand, you should *never* use a spoon to help twirl your spaghetti--that is if you're over say 6 years old. Considered bad form--or just plain funny, a bit like an adult riding a tricycle or using training wheels on their bicycle!

A pasta bowl is not, however, the kind of thing you'd use for oatmeal. It is rather shallow and wide, almost a deep plate. If you're visited my blog, you'll see the kind of bowl I mean. But having been to Italy, I suppose you know...
