Good trolling! I'm not even Italian and even I find this infuriating.
Like, call it pasta if you don't know the name is. Even my wife knows that spaghetti is a specific type of pasta and not the general name.
And she might forget the specific names of the Italian kind but you can be sure she is a stickler for specifics when it comes to the Chinese noodles!

I’m sorry but if you call gnocchi spaghetti, you’re an idiot.

[–] Apocalypteroid@lemmy.org 17 points 2 days ago

Pasta, yes. Spaghetti, no.

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thinking any pasta besides spaghetti is spaghetti requires some major mental gymnastics

[–] LwL@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Bucatini and linguine are pretty similar tbf

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, empty spaghetti, flat spaghetti... you could also add the thick spaghetti : spaghettoni.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 60 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not even "pasta"? Tsk tsk.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's all 'pasta' in my house. Including the spaghetti.

[–] Mok98@feddit.it 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And it's correct, all spaghetti are pasta, but not all pasta is spaghetti

This plus all the different Italian names for coffee which, as far as I can tell, are mostly just describing the amount of dairy added.

[–] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Well, if the coffee was in different shapes, they would give them all sorts of different names too, even if its the same thing across the board.

[–] adminofoz@lemmy.cafe 2 points 23 hours ago

Starbucks already did it. They welcome all to order their more than 20 oz Venti, their medium Grande or their small Tall. Just don't pretend words have logical meanings while you drink your $10 burnt coffee.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Just having bought an espresso machine and reading the coffee types listed...

Holy shit this is true, it's like eight types that only vary but dairy or even just the amount of "micro foam" on top.

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not only the amount of dairy.

For Italians, "caffè" is just espresso. Then you have "americano", which is similar to filter coffee even though it's usually made by adding warm water to an espresso.

Then you have "ristretto", which is a shorter espresso.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago

An americano is indeed an espresso (sometimes double shot) with added hot water. Not Italy specific though, it's just a different thing than filter coffee - but it's true that in Italy you can usually get the former but not the latter.

Some other common coffees: lungo ("long", an espresso that's extracted for longer so it's a bit more "watery"), macchiato ("stained", an espresso with a bit of milk and foam in it, kinda like an espresso version of a cappuccino), macchiatone ("big macchiato", halfway between macchiato and cappuccino), corretto ("corrected", with a tiny bit of liquor, usually grappa or sambuca)

[–] Gwot@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Gnocchis isn't pastas it's potatos

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

Its even older than pasta here in europe

[–] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

And pierogies?

[–] Illegalmexicant@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My wife calls them "noods"(nudes). "Can you grab the pool noods? We're having sketti tonight."

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 days ago

Growing up, my dad would always pronounce it "pasketti", and he'd elaborate by saying "I can't pronounce spaghetti, so I have to say pasketti"

[–] Gustephan@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

both sides of the original meme are wrong, cmv

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

i didn't touch it.

[–] finitebanjo@piefed.world 13 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I at least split it into categories like Spaghetti and Macaroni.

[–] lunarul@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Which category do you place bucatini in?

[–] finitebanjo@piefed.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Spaghetti. Once cooked and with sauce and protein most people might not even notice the difference.

[–] kartoffelsaft@programming.dev 17 points 2 days ago

Oh I definitely notice. When I try to suck up the buccatini like it's spaghetti it'll make some disguting mouth noises and I'm left with full lungs and half a mouthful of pasta dangling out of my mouth.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Is there a larger hole bucatini? I'm thinking I could use them for "environmental" straws.

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 5 points 2 days ago

Fun fact: the original neapolitan name for spaghetti was maccheroni.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 6 points 2 days ago (5 children)

And what's a Farfalle? Or is this a cheeky sex joke?

Chocolate flavored hummus is actually pretty great. Makes a great dessert dip.

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 1 points 23 hours ago

Came in to say this. Bean chocolate!
