Do you know how to eat spaghetti? Most probably think they do, but I'll tell you the right way to eat spaghetti.
Table manners when you are in front of a dish of spaghetti are simple. First rule is to keep your hands on the table throughout the meal and do not put your elbows up on the table, and wait for everyone to be served before starting to eat. The most common mistake is to overload too much pasta on the fork. If you decide its too big or too long, drop it down and pick up a smaller bunch. Roll it again until you form a precise bundle, just the right size to go into your mouth. Do not use your spoon to roll the noodles and never bite off the excess and let it fall back into your bowl. You can do that at home when you're by yourself, however.
Common mistakes when eating spaghetti: Dont slurp your food or make any weird noises...probably no reason to make any weird noises when eating. Obviously, dont splatter. Spaghetti can sometimes splatter the sauce. So be careful, but dont wear a napkin as a bib unless you are a small kid. Avoid spaghetti for large or formal parties. Short pasta (rigatoni, penne, etc) are much easier to serve and to eat. Don't eat spaghetti on a first date, unless you don't care what he or she may think.
Spaghetti are served in a piatto fondo a deep bowl like a shallow soup-dish with a rim. Make room at the front of the bowl pushing the spaghetti a little toward the center. Take a little bunch of the spaghetti with the prongs of the fork. Push it against the front side. Roll up and enjoy.
Now, working with the fork in a vertical position, and the prongs against the rim of the bowl, twirl the fork clockwise with your fingers to roll the spaghetti around your fork. Raise the fork with the spaghetti wrapped around above the bowl, and measure the length with your eyes.
