I have crafted a spaghetti policy that you may find highly reasonable.

As long as they're straight, like an uncooked noodle - And you don't get floppy on them, like an overcooked noodle.

PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y

I promise a firm but fair noodle.

By the way, you probably want to set English as an allowed language. Currently, you can only select "Undetermined language" when posting.

DrDystopia@lemy.lol · 7 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Yes. And also "Italian gesticulation" so we can express how much we're enjoying pasta-related media.

This is good wisdom. I shall implement.

INB4 the first flame war about other pasta shapes!

(And just barely, too, 'cause somebody's already bucatini-posting in there.)

This would fall under the no pasta shaming rule.

grue@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y (3 replies)

What rule is that? I can't find it written anywhere.

PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 1y (2 replies)

It's rule number 6 at the bottom. It says "No Pasta-Shaming", indicating that shaming of different pastas is against the spaghetti policy.

Hmm... I could've sworn that whole block of text wasn't there when I looked at the page before.

PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y

It’s very possible! I put it up recently when people asked for the spaghetti policy and realized I didn’t have one. It was like being in the middle of Walmart and realizing I was naked the whole time. “Not again…”

It feels like a betrayal of the highest order that perogiboy is making a spaghetti comm. WHAT ABOUT YOUR BELOVED PEROGIS??

Mister_Feeny@fedia.io · 12 pts · 1y (5 replies)

Ok, but what if instead of stuffing the pierogies with potatoes, they stuffed them with spaghetti?

Cris_Color@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y

This comment will haunt me for the rest of the day.

Mister_Feeny@fedia.io · 5 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Don't lie and say you wouldn't try a pierogi shell stuffed with spaghetti.

DrDystopia@lemy.lol · 4 pts · 1y

That's why it's haunting. I would.

Perogis are considered dumplings and are exempt from pasta taxonomy.

nocturne@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 1y (3 replies)

So ravioli is a dumpling and not pasta?

PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 137d (2 replies)

It took me 7 months to think about it but in the end I've come to realize that ravioli is a genus of hybrid pasta that serves as a bridge between pastas and dumplings. It represents a seperate but related branch of gastronomic evolution that answers some questions but opens the door to even more! More work is needed to discover other such cases.

This was a fascinating subject of study and I thank you for 7 dedicated months of research. Science is so lovely.

Where does this put tortelloni?

PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 136d

Another example of a cross-over pasta! The continuum of pasta to dumpling is littered with such specimens. Fantastic example!

Linguine is the better spaghetti. IMHO.

DrDystopia@lemy.lol · 5 pts · 1y

Keep it spaghetti.

No pasta-shaming.

Strict but fair.

Which government office set this up? And why do it on a Canadian instance? Is the Canadian government claiming spaghetti now, cos that and the shitty pizzas with tropical fruit on are going to tip Italy over the edge inevitably.

Joined. I cook. I was raised on bad spaghetti and I learned how to make it well (along with other pastas). Then I got bariatric surgery and I really can't eat traditional spaghetti anymore, but I still do from time to time. I think I'd make a valuable, or at the very least interesting addition to your community.

Can I say, in that community, that spaghetti (the pasta type) is not the best pasta type for spaghetti (the dish)? Because it isn't. And I think I could convince someone, not so much across the Internet, but if they sat at my table and ate my spaghetti (the dish). I would not expect them to swear off spaghetti (the pasta), but I would expect them to accept that other pasta shapes have their uses (and, more importantly, to think about which pasta shape to use and for what — my personal favorite being penne).

That looks delicious. I'm hungry now.

I'm surprised that spaghetti has taken off while !pasta@lemmy.world lies dormant. Would you have any interest in taking that one on as well? The current moderator is inactive.

PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y (2 replies)

The people need an icon to rally around. Spaghetti stood up to the plate! I would not be opposed to taking on pasta

True, I suppose that does help.

@kersploosh@lemmy.world, would you be able to transfer !pasta@lemmy.world to @PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca? The current moderator @tomcruise@lemmy.world has been inactive for two years.

kersploosh@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Sure thing. It's done.

A bowl of spaghetti was a subreddit celebrity in /r/waterloo about five years ago
