When you half long noodles like spaghetti, you end with a bowl of limp, sauced mush. The complete long strands naturally mound up so you don’t get a soggy bowl of noodles.

I'm not Italian, and I'm not gonna my pants if someone breaks their spag', but I generally find it less enjoyable to eat if it's too short. It loses something if you can't wrap it around a fork.
That said, I also dislike angel hair so what the fuck do I know?

You are supposed to break the giant 2ft long spaghetti they sell in bulk bags. "Italian" Americans don't actually know anything about Italy, Italians or our culture and cuisine. Don't take anything they say as gospel. They can't even currently pronounce their own names. They're the biggest larpers in America, bested, possibly, only by your Mother Africa blacks and your filthy, white trash plastic Paddy "Irish" who reduce an entire culture down to beer, potatoes and tattoos of clovers and angry, green-clad midgets

What links they do have to Italy are all with Sicily too. My mom's grandparents were from what's now far Northern Italy (South Tyrol) and I've been to their village, met my cousins, etc. but I don't even tell people I'm Italian because I don't want any association with all the Sicilian-American fucktards, it was Austria when they left and that's what it says on their immigration papers so that's what I tell people even though my relatives there all speak Italian and identify as Italians now.

You're a moron. Texture is the profile of the surface. Making the surface bigger or smaller doesn't change the profile of the surface. It can change mouthfeel, but the texture is still the texture. There's just more or less of it.

Everyone should hate when someone breaks the noodles because they don't think it will fit in the pot.
I will explain this as simply as I can, so you to can also learn to hate everyone who does that if you don't already.

The people who break spaghetti are idiots. Complete fucking idiots. They put the spaghetti in the pot, see it doesn't fit, and then think they're geniuses for breaking the spaghetti so it fits. They do this every time, they've done this every time, and never have considered any alternative, because-
1. If noodles don't fit ->
2. Make the noodles fit.

At no point have they tried the alternative, which is just putting the noodles in standing up, and then waiting the 30 seconds it takes for them to soften enough to then put them entirely in the water.

30 seconds. That's all it takes. That's all that separates these retards from being functional human beings. Never, in their entire lives, could they even imagine that something so hard and rigid could become so soft and pliable so quickly, because the transformation isn't instantaneous. That 30 second delay is enough to prevent them from ever learning that they can completely avoid the needless step of breaking the noodles so they fit in the pot.

How can you not despise such a creature?

This shouldn't be a matter of Italians vs. the rest of the world, and really, it isn't. That would be insulting to the rest of the world, this idea that everyone else except Italians are too fucking stupid to wait 30 seconds. It's the kind of shit the dumbest fuck alive would come up with, where after being explained why they're so fucking stupid, they instead decide "You only hate my method because you're too traditionalist/Italian/etc., and not because it's as completely retarded as I am."

I don't boil spaghetti. I'm not your fat ugly mom who learned everything from reading a cook book that has recipes for ham in lime jell-o. I flavor olive oil with whatever is appropriate for the recipe and then fry the spaghetti in said oil, after which I spoon the existing sauce in. This not only flavors the noodles (boiling does not) but produces a more consistently cooked spaghetti and, also, flavors the sauce more elaborately. If you still boil pasta you are no better than some flyover queer who boils vegetables with no reasoning. You're miserable because you're stupid.

You're adding a pointless step because you're too retarded to wait 30 seconds.
You're asking why a braindead borderline voodoo ritual is bad, and I'm now curious how the rest of your pasta process goes.

Do you first chant something before you start boiling the water? Throw salt over your shoulder before putting some in the water? Spin around three times and bark like a dog before putting the pasta in the water?

I'm gonna break some spaghetti in you honor.

Counter-question: What's so bad about breaking them?
Once broken they are perfect. They are still MORE than long enough to twirl onto the fork, but much more comfortable to handle. Not just when putting them in the pot but also when taking them out again. No overlong strands hanging down, and as mentionen they are still more than long enough! You can still do everything you could with the long ones, they are just nicer to handle.

If you're struggling with noodles, I don't think you're arguing against yourself being some kind of an idiot.

There's no challenge to long noodles. In fact, I'd argue that longer noodles make for a more pleasurable experience overall, both aesthetically and for the actual act of eating. While that is subjective, as long as you're not trying to shove half the plate into your mouth at once I don't see why you'd even bother mentioning there being any difficulty in handling pasta whatsoever unless you are some sort of hoof-handed cow person.

[Anonymous No.20573959]

>>20573940
Can you provide any actual reasons or proofs for this claim?

[Anonymous No.20573967]

The biggest reason not to break spaghetti or other long noodles is because broken string pasta doesn’t sauce properly. It becomes a puddle of mush. Unbroken string pasta mounds up on the plate and doesn’t become a saucy puddle of noodles. The other reason is broken pasta doesn’t twirl on the fork well.

For most pastas, you need a lot of water. A big pot's worth. And, with a big pot, you have no real need or even inclination to break the pasta.

Now, what kind of person doesn't have a big pot? The sort of person who lives in either a cramped apartment or a trailer. And, the person in a cramped apartment isn't cooking; they're ordering/dining out because they have that as an option. So, the only people without big enough pots but still want to cook pasta because it's the closest thing to real food they can find in the 99 cent store are trailer park trash.
