    There’s an actual fork for spaghetti!?!

    Why have I never seen one before? WTF is this conspiracy?

      I call BS. Every other fork (even the crab “pick”) I can believe it have seen. I do not believe in this.

        it looks like it needs to go to a fork hospital

        just use a fork and a spoon for spaghetti like a normal person

          I still think it’s weird using a spoon for spaghetti.

          I’ve seen it done. I get why people do it. I still think it’s weird.

          Whatever. Be weird. So your thing. As long as it gets the food from the plate to your face, who am I to say it’s wrong?

            I don’t know why people can’t just spin their forks and have the spaghetti wrap around? Never seemed like something difficult or requiring extra tools

      I have never seen this. italians spin their fork in the spoon to wrap the noodles, seems to work fine. That spaghetti fork would have terrible mouth feel.

          Seems like a common thing in North America. I’ve seen plenty of people use a spoon to hold the tip of their fork to spin it and ball up spaghetti (and similar noodle pasta).

          I’m not even Italian, I think it’s weird. Far be it for me to tell anyone how to eat though. So I just shut my mouth and eat my spaghetti, my way.

          Could be, an old Italian guy showed me the spoon as the base and fork as the spinning tool. But yeah maybe it is regional…or like giving white people a fork at an asian place
