Spaghetti isn't mined in the pasta mines, you moron. It grows on spaghetti trees.

I, too, wish to know where I can purchase a spaghetti bush.

could you genetically engineer one?

They already have! You think cheap pasta is through efficiency and child labor! It's GMO and overfertilized crap.

I remember grandpa chasing me with a switch because I left ripe pasta I couldn't reach, but man was it tasty. Not like this new plastic-y crap. Why does it stick? It used to never stick before!

I always wonder about drying food in a place full of airborne pollution, dust, etc.
