I never got into the pasta-twirl-on-a-spoon method. I always thought it was just maarte and completely unnecessary.

Well, if twirling noodles using a spoon is a big no-no, I can just imagine their (well-heeled Italians) horror at the common Pinoy practice of cutting spaghetti noodles with a fork and spoon so that children can eat it without making a mess. :D

khrishyne, the spoon is used at the end of the fork while you twirl the noodles on it. Not bringing pasta to mouth with the spoon… :)

Guinness is an exception as they recommend that it be poured at an angle of 45 degrees. The pasta-spoon rule was one of the things I learned in the table manners and etiquette part of home economics.

I knew about the spoon and pasta thing my french hubby taught me about this. So it always put a smile on my face when I see people using spoon to eat their pasta. Anyways, I guess its the taste of the pasta that matters to all of us in the end :-) And on flute versus coupe for bubbly? Well the latter being honed after Marie Antoinette’s breast comes naturally handy ;-) Thanks for interesting article!
