I will never get ppl who cut/break their spaghetti, you just have to wait 30s and they'll be soft enough to enter in your pan. And full spaghetti are easier to eat :/

it's "mamma", not "mama FFS. Add this to the list of things that p**s Italians off: the constant butchering of the Italian language by English speakers.

To be honest I am italian and break them in half all the time!!!

Ow. That's actually a torture. How can you eat them then? With a damn SPOON?

They now sell "Pot-sized" spaghetti, it's literally just spaghetti cut in half. Was taking half a second to break spaghetti too difficult for some people?

My adult kids cut up their spaghetti. I tried & tried to teach them to twirl but they never got it, I mean this is not hard to do! They're good kids so if this is the worst they do I'll die a happy Mother

Lets hope i dont run into any italians

hell no... we do that all the time.

It’s only logical to break it up into small pieces that will not slop around on the fork and spray sauce on your shirt!

Guys, Italian or not, just don't do this. It's a shame and an act of violence against such a beautifully simple product. :(

He's got the biggest half !!

Or you could go to a restaurant in Italy and ask for some olive oil to dip your bread in.

Are these "hilarious", though? Or just racist?

You have to break it cos that shits too long for the pot

Both my grandmothers broke pasta before they cooked it. When you have a big family you do it that way. More fits in the pot and the little ones can eat it better.

Everytime someone does that, somewhere in Italy a grandma dies... Just wanted you to know :D

Ah Hah! Most Italians are gonna be pissed with Filipinos... They break 'em spaghetti and cook it with sugar and banana ketchup.

I thought adding ketchup to pasta was the biggest crime/peeve

Put pineapple on pizza

I'm half Italian and I think I died a little inside.

My boyfriend is Italian yet does this. I'm slightly Italian (more Sicilian) in heritage and hate when he does it.

@Kelly: farò richiesta per farti revocare la cittadinanza! :D

Ok now, let´s get to HOW to cook spaghetti without breaking it in half (as taught by my Italian ex mother in law): put the whole spaghetti in boiling water, then gently push them inside with a wooden spoon as they begin to soften until they are entirely immersed. Then put the lid on the pot until the boiling wáter rises and boils over. Only then take the lid off and stir a bit, always with your wooden spoon. Keep boiling (turn down the fire a bit but keep boiling) and wait until it´s al dente.

NO ITALIANS IN MY HOUSE!!!! I WILL BREAK YOU!!! :-)
