  • My dinner

    Image of a bowl of tubular spaghetti, yes you read correctly with the finest selection of mushrooms hand picked from my backyard. Topped with a sliver of finger skin (I swear it was only a little bit. Promise) with fresh garlic.

    When one isa eating ze pasta one must speaka Italiano though ze entirety of ze meal no.

    • Tubular spaghetti is a fucking scam. Ain't no way the sauce is getting all up that tube to make more flavour. Big pasta is just pinching pennies

      • If you cook it until it's about 85% cooked, then finish the cooking in a gently simmering sauce, you should indeed have sauce up your tube.. er, so to speak. Sauce source: me, who makes bucatini for work every so often. It's actually my favourite long pasta, but not everyone likes the same things :)

        • I forgot we had someone for Big Pasta in our midst, I'll have to be careful about what I say.

          spoiler

          I'm just teasing 😜 i don't really mind bucatini but it is a bit silly to me

      • I agree. There was no regular spag so I was forced to buy this one.

    • Totally Tubular. Love it.

    • I used like trying to suck up air through tubular speghetti. Especially if there was soup but it couldn’t really be done.

      My brother used to tell me that tubular speghetti gave him stomach aches, despite being able to eat thick and thin speghetti of all sorts.

      Felt like one big lie since they’re pretty much all the same.

      • Maybe tubular spaghetti has more air in it and/or the texture would cause him to swallow more air, that can cause stomach cramping...

        • Well I guess that’s the only difference.

          Maybe he inhaled his meals as a teen
