You’ve Been Eating Spaghetti Wrong Your Whole Life

There are a lot of different techniques for eating spaghetti. Do you shovel it in with a fork? Slurp up whatever strands are hanging down? Cut it up first? Twirl it against a spoon? Eat it with your hands like a child?

Maybe we’ve all been eating it wrong our entire lives. Because it turns out an article in “Life” magazine came up with the official rules back in 1942.

Here’s the right way to eat spaghetti . . .

1. Use your fork to separate out exactly FOUR strands.

2. Gently and politely twirl them against a spoon.

3. Eat the entire forkful at once . . . don’t nibble it or take bites.

4. DO feel free to slurp up the noodles as necessary.

Now you know.
