Not even “pasta”? Tsk tsk.
It’s all ‘pasta’ in my house. Including the spaghetti.
And it’s correct, all spaghetti are pasta, but not all pasta is spaghetti
My wife calls them “noods”(nudes). “Can you grab the pool noods? We’re having sketti tonight.”
Growing up, my dad would always pronounce it “pasketti”, and he’d elaborate by saying “I can’t pronounce spaghetti, so I have to say pasketti”
Thinking any pasta besides spaghetti is spaghetti requires some major mental gymnastics
Bucatini and linguine are pretty similar tbf
Yeah, empty spaghetti, flat spaghetti… you could also add the thick spaghetti : spaghettoni.
This plus all the different Italian names for coffee which, as far as I can tell, are mostly just describing the amount of dairy added.
Not only the amount of dairy.
For Italians, “caffè” is just espresso. Then you have “americano”, which is similar to filter coffee even though it’s usually made by adding warm water to an espresso.
Then you have “ristretto”, which is a shorter espresso.
Just having bought an espresso machine and reading the coffee types listed…
Holy shit this is true, it’s like eight types that only vary but dairy or even just the amount of “micro foam” on top.
Well, if the coffee was in different shapes, they would give them all sorts of different names too, even if its the same thing across the board.
Starbucks already did it. They welcome all to order their more than 20 oz Venti, their medium Grande or their small Tall. Just don’t pretend words have logical meanings while you drink your $10 burnt coffee.
Gnocchis isn’t pastas it’s potatos
Its even older than pasta here in europe
And pierogies?
I at least split it into categories like Spaghetti and Macaroni.
Which category do you place bucatini in?
Spaghetti. Once cooked and with sauce and protein most people might not even notice the difference.
Oh I definitely notice. When I try to suck up the buccatini like it’s spaghetti it’ll make some disguting mouth noises and I’m left with full lungs and half a mouthful of pasta dangling out of my mouth.
Is there a larger hole bucatini? I’m thinking I could use them for “environmental” straws.
Fun fact: the original neapolitan name for spaghetti was maccheroni.
both sides of the original meme are wrong, cmvsomeBODY
I’m sorry but if you call gnocchi spaghetti, you’re an idiot.
I must disagree. (not biased btw)
Let’s put ketchup on pannacotta
My partner and I call them all “noods”. “Let’s make noods later”, “want some noods?”, “these are my favorite noods”.
Wait…not everyone knows this is the upper hirarchical term for them and thus says “noodles”???
Nope, never even heard them called that. Must be a regional things.
Chocolate flavored hummus is actually pretty great. Makes a great dessert dip.
Came in to say this. Bean chocolate!
