Talk:Spaghetti
From Academic Kids
Well, the story as I heard it anyway, is that pasta/noodles already existed in Italy, what Marco Polo and other traders brought was specifically long noodles (AKA spaghetti or lo-mein). Since I'm not sure I could verify that, I'm not putting it in the main article. -- Logotu 19:37, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)

- I've reduced them a little now. The full versions are available by clicking. — Chameleon 13:15, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I was referring to the full versions, actually. Do we really need 2500px-wide images of spaghetti, larger than most max resolutions on 19" monitors? I think a modest 1280x960 or 1024x768 would express the spaghetti-ness of the dish quite sufficiently. mnemonic 20:08, 2004 Jun 27 (UTC)
- Ah OK. I've now reduced them to 25% of their original size. They were a bit vomit-inducing before. — Chameleon 21:54, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

durum wheat!
I just re-edit this page about spaghetti. The original Italian spaghetti (and the only "al dente" qualities) come from durum wheat ! In italy you don't find anything but durum wheat spaghetti, just because other kind of flours make spaghetti consistency very similar to the consistency of a pudding. Common wheat flour is the main ingredient for some kinds of fresh pasta, but spaghetti is not a kind of fresh pasta. The kind of fresh pasta which is similar to spaghetti is fettuccine, a typical Emilia Romagna (northern Italy) pasta.
