Never ever order long pasta on a first date, especially if it has a tomato-based sauce! :grin:

Sounds like excellent advice Rose!
Yes, it’s the sauce that’s the real culprit :spaghetti::wink:

I dined out yesterday lunchtime at Maccas, had a flat white coffee and a toasted cheese and ham sandwich. (we were going to a local bakery but it was packed)

I was with my daughter so can’t claim it as alone dining.

McCafes are a vast improvement on that awful American filtered coffee they used to serve before they were Australianised. They realised they were losing customers to coffee bars and adapted.

Think I’ll stick with the Italian wine and risk the long spaghetti!

Smart Arses?

Perfect!

Like having a wander, browsing menus in restaurant windows before making a decision on impulse. It doesn’t always have to involve Google/TripAdvisor!
No way am I allowing AI to get involved with my spaghetti! :slightly_smiling_face::spaghetti:

I was really disappointed the first time I sat down in a restaurant and they didn’t give us a menu.
My daughter showed me how to use the QR code to read it! :frowning_face:
What do you do if you don’t have a smartphone?
Trees won’t be saved this way with less paper, they are still being widely destroyed anyway.

Googled so you don’t have to:
The correct way to eat spaghetti is by using only a fork to twirl a small amount of strands against the inside of your plate, without cutting the pasta or using a spoon (using a spoon to twirl the fork and pasta is considered the inept tourist method). Wrap the strands round and round the fork and avoid dangling strands. So they say.

Yes, true ,but it’s almost impossible not to dangle spaghetti at all. I try never to order spaghetti or other long pasta when eating out, so as to avoid embarrassment and stained clothes.
I prefer short pasta in general anyway.

Yep, using a spoon or cutting is a no no, hence the practice at home! :slightly_smiling_face:
I draw the line at chopsticks…:slightly_frowning_face:
