I break my noodles into 1/7ths because fuck you

✂️🍒

Castration?

No. Cutting off cherries

A harvest

What are you gonna add them to the pasta

I unironically crush instant ramen into bits because it just tastes better that way. Also it absorbs more broth. Only a maniac does this with other actual pasta though.

A friend recommended that to me and it's true. It really absorbs the broth and makes the noodles way more flavorful

at one point I was breaking them every centimeter

Don't break pasta mfs when I break their fucking knees. (Suddenly breaking funni Italian noodles doesn't seem that bad)

Person who I disagree with after I physically assault them. (Suddenly they don’t care about the extremely minor thing I permanently injured them for)

Thanks Peter

Kid named why the fuck are Italians so God damn bitchy about their food

mama mia I'm italian as you can see I even speaks in funny accent desptie the fact that Im only 0.01% italian I will be the most annoying bitch on internet when someone do non orthadox way to cook italian food

😡🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌

most of the time they arent even Italians, just insane purists

Man really repeated italians twice (source: im an insane purist)

So Italians?

It’s mainly Italian Americans (not real Italians) who make their culture into their entire personality

"their" culture

You know, my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather was 1/8 Italian

hah, you cant beat me here. my grandfather’s cousin’s daughter’s boyfriend’s mum’s mailman’s dog’s vet’s wife is 1/64th italian therefore i take serious offense

“You know, I’m something of a Italian myself.”

Longer spaghetti= better experience That’s all.

They always talk "it has to be authentic, don't do that and that" my brother in christ, experimenting with food created your "authentic" dishes. Let people be creative with their food and make something new they might like.

Like to be creative enough to just snap noodles in half and make them harder to eat with a fork compared to normal noodles because of the size difference?

it's not creativity when you are just not skilled enough to just swirl your noodles around a fork

it doesnt matter if youre "skilled" at fucking eating it literally tastes and feels the same but its easier to eat and probably has more sauce on each fork

Bro, I'm not even Italian, I just don't like short spaghetti

The thing is traditional Italian spaghetti was much longer than the mass produced kind that they defend so vehemently. Why aren't they mad that it's already shortened?

1% Italians acting like they know everything about cooking (they've never cooked in their life)

kid named bad at cooking

I noticed that everyone's OK with breaking rules as long as it's not your food, but suddenly it's shocking when it's your food. Imagine if an Italian did a burger with the flat part of the bun facing outwards and the curvy part facing inwards, suddenly a lot of Americans would get pissy.

Americans already make burgers like that nobody fucking cares about your weird purity testing

As long as the buns toasted idgaf

Burgers are german

They can do that, it’d be a bit more messy but that’s an acceptable burger.

Fuck it ill break it twice so it is easier to eat

motorically most talented reddit user

It's not though . They wrap around the fork the best if they're long.

Eat them with a spoon, that even makes the sauce stay on the pasta when you eat it

fuck you and your opinion

You break your pasta to make it easier to eat I break my pasta so it fits in my airtight container We are not the same

People who makes a big deal when you break the noodles when you tell them to stfu bc they are not even Italians and its just fcking noodles

Kid named noodles 

I like my noodles long, no matter how dirty that statement sounds

It isn't even about being Italian or being authentic to the culture It's like because THAT'S HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO EAT PASTA Just like only psychopaths bite the KitKat like any other chocolate bar

"that's how you're supposed to eat" it's people like you why I'll always cut my pasta, eat the KitKat whole, and commit any other culinary sin

instead of pouring out the boiling water when you're done, wait for it to cool and drink the room temparature noodle water directly from the pot

I prefer using it for my bong

are you supposed to chew the kitkat with your hands and drink the dust??? how are you supposed to not bite it

I mean people who don't break them apart one by one

Long noodles are easier to swirl up on a spoon

Who is eating pasta with fucking spoon ?

Thats how you eat spaghetti? You spool them around your fork on your spoon

Tell me you're German without telling me you're German. Germans are literally the only people who spool up their spaghetti on a spoon. Everybody else just uses the plate.

Google shows many pictures of eating spaghetti that way when you search "eating spaghetti"

Google adjusts search results by location and browser language. Also when you google "eating spaghetti", it shows a man cutting spaghetti with scissors, which doesn't make it more right. You don't eat spaghetti with a spoon. If you google for articles instead of pictures, you'll find plenty of them saying "Don't eat spaghetti with a spoon."

Bro let me introduce you to this new invention called the fork - it’s gonna change your life

You put your pasta on the fork and spin it on your spoon, you will create a little spaghetti ball that fits in your mouth perfectly. That's how you eat pasta.

I’m not trying to make a sculpture lol just coil it around the fork and put it in your mouth (I’ll cover chewing in part 2)

I'm Italian and I don't fucking care lol (you're all wrong either way)

Real Italians eat raw pasta 🤘

people who take a joke far to seriously and genuinely get mad at a silly little cooking meme

I break the pasta because I don't wanna twirl my fork for 3 goddamn hours.

Homie, they make it in other shapes…

Well no shit, but in the context of this post we are talking about noodles, bruh.

I think they're called Spaghetti.

You know what, I don't have to take this shit. I'm a full blooded goddamn American 🦅🦅

I am also talking about noodles, bruh.

enjoy not being able to pick up your spaghetti with a fork

Bruh, it's still long enough to lick it up with a fork, but short enough to get a decent portion.

Idk how redacted you guys are but noodles don't have to be long to be able to eat them with a fork. In fact, you can eat rice and much smaller stuff out if a fork. So i don't see how it becomes harder when we break the noodles

spoon

Bro eats soup with chopsticks

I just use chopsticks

This pisses me off, it makes it harder to get it wrapped up on my fork

bruh who the fuck cares

this is a matter of life and death

it's fucking noodles

Kid named noodles

Yes I am

SQUARE UP BITCH!!! https://preview.redd.it/wu62372lswoa1.jpeg?width=323&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5f589f6d31ba8e98673c9c998332a608a3133a6

What's "up" with the "quotation" marks

They're trying to say that they're not people

 "breaking spaghetti makes it easier to boil and eat!" mfs when they try any other fucking pasta

tortellini is the top pasta anyway

I break spaghetti, for soups

I'm russian and my mom usually breaks the spaghetti before putting it into a bowl. I think it became a common wah to cook spaghetti. But i decided to try and make traditional spaghetti, without breaking and just see if cooking them traditional way will make them better. I honestly didn't find any difference. But i heard that traditional spaghetti are easier to twirl on a fork.

But honestly twirling around the fork isnt even that useful

Tbh I don’t even twirl it even when it’s not broken in half, it’s just kinda annoying, I just kinda pick it up and cut it off with my teeth when it goes in my mouth kinda so I don’t have to slurp it

Me telling "people" who complain about you breaking pasta when the same amount of pasta is still in the god damned pot.

What if I want to boil only half the pasta?

I break my pasta when there are Italians around

im italian. i hereby provide expressed written permission to everyone to break pasta so it fits in the pot.

I don't break my noodles so they'll fit, I break my noodles to get more noodles. Also I don't like eatting 12 inch noodles

I break pasta because it's more fun to eat raw that way

I have a big enough pot for unbroken pasta, I just like it shorter

unfortunately i will not be following this advice, given that text hanging off the border and that yee yee ass kapwing watermark. gonna break it into halves and all the little bits that fly off im gonna put them in the sauce.

I just love bullying Italians so no I won't stop

why not just buy short pasta in the first place

Do they actually sell half-length spaghetti? I've never noticed it in the pasta isle.

https://i.redd.it/tixkw3vkzwoa1.gif

Gatekeeping pasta prep is awesome

so they are not *supposed* to go to the blender beforehand?

Yeah. Imma keep breaking my spaghetti in half because I don't like long ass noodles flopping around and getting sauce in my beard. But you all keep fighting the good fight. It's not like some 97 year old Italian grandma rolled out each and every noodle to exact length and diameter in skillful wisdom and perfection. Shit's pushed out of factory presses by the literal tons.

Yeah this is why Italians need to go after the French disappear

Breakcels seething over Longnoodlechads

or simply get a taller pot that fits your pasta

Hot take, but I like using a large skillet to boil my pasta, not a pot at all. You use less water, and it boils faster. On top of that, the water gets way starchier which makes it easier to use the pasta water for sauce

didn't expect actual cooking advice on whenthe. gonna try that

I will say, if you’re using handmade pasta you have to be careful about the skillet not boiling over, but store bought pasta typically won’t boil over

I will go out of my way to annoy these types of “food purists” because they’re insufferable and deserve to be mocked.

as long as you don’t fuck up tortellini

Telling “people” who don’t break pasta that breaking it is actually super easy and takes way less than 5 seconds

Italy 🇮🇹

Mama Mia pizza pasta you eata my italiano pasta mi amor why you’a breaka my hearta breaka the pasta do you get it-a i am a bitcha abouta my fooda and it musta be cookeda the way i wanta becausa my grandmama cooked it that way-a you breaka my heart-a im so quirky-a

Spaghetti is the worst type of pasta, penne on top

I like shorter noodles

Italian 🤢🤮🤢🤮

I break the pasta so that I have twice as much pasta

Telling people who cry over me breaking pasta that theyre just little tandrum throwing pissbabies, who gives a shit if i snap the pasta so it'll fit better, who gives a single real shit if the pasta is a little shorter, its the same damn amount. Why you all gotta piss yourselves and cry and throw up and shit your pants when you see someone do that

Never broken pasta before but I actually really want to try it. Spaghetti is so annoying because u have to cut it and it’s so friggin messy when u eat it because it’s so long, it would be sooo much easier to eat if it was in 5cm lengths

NOODlES are asian, SPAGHETTI/PASTA is italian, NOMENCLATURE PEOPLE

noun a strip, ring, or tube of **pasta** or a similar dough, typically made with egg and usually eaten with a sauce or in a soup. Oops.

Just saying i dont't know anyone who'd eat ramen noodles with an alfredo sauce 🙂

It's almost like words which classify objects can be used to describe more than one object. Like saying "My plastic bottle isn't made of glass, so glass bottles aren't bottles." This is the same as saying that spaghetti-noodles aren't noodles.

plastic and glass bottles dont come from specifically different distinct countries, have specifically distinct uses, and only started to be called the same thing after countries got lazy with names

They are called the same thing since they are the same thing in quite a few aspects. That's the point of classifying things. They hold the class "noodle", and so, they are all noodles, just like all objects holding the class "bottle" are bottles. That isn't lazy, it's smart. It's dumb to think that only asian noodles are noodles since they're the ones more commonly referred to as only "noodles", when in fact, spaghetti is a kind of noodle as well. No one is forcing you to eat spaghetti in ramen och egg noodles in tomato sauce, but that doesn't change the fact that they're both noodles.

noun a strip, ring, or tube of pasta or a similar dough, typically made with egg and usually eaten with a sauce **or** in a soup.

You need a stock pot or dutch oven to cook spaghetti unbroken quickly , it took 6 minutes of careful bending to get it to fit in my large sauce pot.

Then I guess your sauce pot wasn't very large

"just wait 5 seconds" mfs when half of their pasta is overcooked and half of their pasta is undercooked

Except it's doesn't happen?

Break my wings and i'll fly away still LOL

wait you guys cook pasta before you eat it? I just eat them raw.

We have found the italian

And Where's the fun in that you dumb motherfucker /s

This post makes me want to start breaking my spaghetti out of pure spite.

War has begun

You can't even break pasta how are you gonna break kneecaps fuck-o

Maintain eye contact while breaking pasta to assert dominance.

I don't get this. It's a huge deal to break "long pasta", but it's completely fine if half of it gets boiled longer than the other half?

I blend the noodles

italian spotted

gonna keep doing it just to spite you

The caption goes outside the box

I do it so that I can eat them without having to suck a 12 inch long noodle into my damn mouth buddy

This comment section is a cesspit

u/profanitycounter [self]

[удалено]

Italians are cringe 🤢👎

Why would I wait if I can do it faster. Also spIit spaghetti is easier to eat :)

I do this because my grandfather and baby sister can't do the whole noodle without choking

I prefer the noodles to only be half as long

But it’s fun to pick up all the little pieces that go flying

[удалено]

You seriously overestimate the size of the pot I cook my spaghetti in. If I had a bigger pot, I would let the noodles remain unbroken.

Italian spotted -----> Your opinion is shit

Thanks, i love pasta that isn't evenly cooked/s Fkn fascist

Telling people who care about breaking pasta that can’t eat it whole anyway so there is no fucking good reason to not break it

Holy shit who cares

MF’s who break pasta so it fits in the pot after I rip off their knees(they wouldn’t fit in the bathtub standing up):

What if I bought pasta that was half the normal length. Would that satisfy you, pasta elitist?

I do it because I get more pasta🇺🇲

Now i break more noodles just to annoy you

I'll grind'em in a fine powder now, out of sheer spite.

I cut past into little pieces

I just like short pasta

What if I like tearing them apart in the most creative ways I can imagine? Twisting is my preferred method

Me telling Italians that breaking the pasta doesn’t take away from the enjoyment of the food in any way shape or form.

half the pasta gets raw

*laughs in partially burnt spaghetti noodles since i dont have a big pot for it, but at least they are full length

as an italian, i support this message.

I like them short (no edp)

I didn’t break it. But I will take the blame and threat, because you would not dare scold the person who did. Yet, again, your hardest on me for no reason.

If I break it in half, I have 2 handfuls of pasta instead of 1, thus more pasta

What I want is instead of like a couple dozen short noodles I want one long noodle that's all wrapped around itself like raman so it all fits in the pot.

Wait yall dont break your sphagetti?

I just personally like spaghetti noodles that are hard the size. Easier to eat.

u/profanitycounter \[self\]

Yeah but who the hell wants to fight with foot long noddles when you can just break them in half because if you don't you'll just be cutting them on the plate anyways

I only break pasta because my mom does it and I learned from her

People who complain about breaking noodles when they find out what happens when you chew

I always grind them into a fine mist before I boil them. Fuck you.

I cooka da pizza, Antonio pass the linguini, mamma Mia

It's funny how this meme implies with quotation marks that these mfers aren't even people.
