I was wondering, is it true that "real" Italians will never break spaghetti in half when putting it in the pot to boil? If so, why not?
Also, do Italians use a spoon when eating spaghetti? That is, you take a forkful and then twirl it against a spoon? I didn't think to pay attention to what people were doing when in Italy. People in America say that is the way "real" Italians do it, but, it's so much easier to just twirl it on the plate.
Sorry for the silly stereotype questions!
Grazie,
Nora
