Spaghetti
A place to discuss spaghettis and show off everyone's spaghettis. Whether you make it, eat it, throw it at a wall, or wear it on your head - we can all come together and bond over some spaghetti.

A neighbor of mine once offered me spaghetti she had made. She was an elderly Italian lady and I happily agreed knowing she made great food.
Her daughter delivered the food in a giant plastic bag with all the pasta and sauce mixed in.
My wife was really turned off by the offer and said it was weird.
I grew up poor and I didn't think anything of it ... the food was great!!
It could be the amorphous shape that it takes in the bag that causes concerns.
After looking at that spaghetti, I think you may have fucked up
I know… we can only look back on the past and wonder “what if”. Live your life to the fullest.
Was he asking too much? What was the deal?
I think he requested $20 CAD for this gastronomic experience. It was too rich for my blood back then. $20 had a lot more pull.
Clearly there was something wrong with the man. I don't even see a hard boiled egg.
A hard boiled egg really would have increased his value offering in my opinion.
That was a golden year for spaghetti, brings back memories.
I couldn't agree more. In hindsight I regret not taking the young man up on his offer. Things could have been really different.
I had a friend who filled up his pool with spaghetti around that time. He didn't have enough sauce to go all the way but for a moment our little town was famous.
He ended up writing a book about it.
I want to read this book.
How much for it?
I believe the going rate at the time was $20 CAD. A steep price for me at that time.
