lets hear it co/ck/s

do you bite off pieces of noodles as you lift them up, only biting off the pieces that will fit in your mouth and leaving anything longer to fall back into your bowl?

or do you go and finish the entire piece of noodle when you go for a mouthful of food, possibly slurping or having it dangle around your mouth momentarily?

all types of noodles apply, though what comes to question most are things like spaghetti noodles, rice vermicelli, and egg noodles

personally for me, i like to enjoy things like pho or ramen piece by piece if im just eating at home. fresh spaghetti is pretty enjoyable to eat in entire noodles, but leftovers (especially if you mix with sauce before putting it away) are too flimsy for that i find

I twist them up on my fork/chopsticks to alleviate this problem

if one noodle gets unraveled or whatever i'll bite it off

With spaghetti, I take 3 or 4 strands with the last tine on my fork and twirl them on the edge of the plate until it's all wound up on the fork.

It's a lot easier to eat that way.

You are supposed to do that on a spoon, which is why in good italian restaurants they will bring you fork and spoon, but no knife if you order spaghetti.

Works better for me just with the fork.

I'm a big dude so I take huge bites of food, I always eat the entire strand. My gf always bites it and they all drop back onto the plate, I hate that especially when were sharing something. When I was young my dad once told me the noodles represent a long life and you always have it on your birthday, so if you bite it then its kind of bad luck. I dont really believe that but since then it just felt weird to bite it.

I take huge bites and let the noodles dangle from my mouth to the plate, while slurping them up slowly, making as much noise as possible in hopes I trigger someone's OCD.

No they don't. I work in an italian restaurant and have lived in italy for 5 years. Spoons.

I bite it off it is too long to slurp. I always feel like it is gross to have a bunch of food hanging out of my mouth. If it is short enough to slurp, I usually put my hand over my mouth and make sure not to slurp it to fast. No one likes having noodles flail wildly about and fling broth everywhere.

This is actually a common misconception. Originally in restaurants there would be full courses, meaning you would need a spoon for the soup and the fork for the spaghetti.
Using the spoon to help with the spaghetti was seen as childish, as children would need the spoon to be able to eat the spaghetti. For some reason when Italians moved to America, this was adapted and ended up becoming commonplace in most Italian restaurants
