I called it all macaroni. It was either macaroni for a tube, or spaghetti or linguine, and obviously things like ravioli and tortellini and manicotti were there own things. The problem is I grew up in New Jersey, and when I finally saw these words spelled it hurt my brain.
Italiens are like "Guy check out this piece of dough that's shaped slightly different to the other pieces of dough", and the rest of the world is like "Cool Italy, that's going right on the fridge. But check out our cars, computers, planes and the internet".
Yeah, because Italians totally have no idea how to build a car.
Edit: a gentle reminder that e.g. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Pagani, Ducati, Dallara and DeTomaso come from exactly the same area as Parmigiano, Bolognese sauce, Parma ham, lasagne, and Bologna sausage.
Italy does not, indeed, have too much to offer with respect to computers and the internet.

Pasta. Not spaghetti. Spaghetti is a type of pasta, as are the rest of these. But these others are not spaghetti.

He is so lucky I don't report him to the Italian Pasta Board, or he'd never eat "sketti" again.

Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 2y
No one that took a long bus to school in America calls that stuff spaghetti. All of that is “pasta.”

I know what spaghetti is, the rest is either flat spaghetti or noodle tubes

A single noodle is called a spaghet.
abysmalpoptart@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y
Uno spaghetto, but it doesn't follow the meme sorry :(
affiliate@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
would it be spaghets if there are multiple single noodles?
curiousaur@reddthat.com · 3 pts · 2y
Yes, you are absolutely correct.

I am a purist and macaroni is only when a rider of an ungulate affixes a plume to their headgear whilst in transit to a metropolitan area
