        And before anyone complains that that takes too long, it’ takes like 30 seconds. If waiting that long is gonna ruin your pasta night it’s already fucked.

        Then half of it will be slightly more cooked than the other. Small issue, sure, but bigger issue than not keeping every strand twice as long which doesn’t benefit anything whatsoever.

          It does if you twirl your fork to collect the spaghetti. The longer stands form a ball of sauce and noodles with only a few stands. If the noodles are half as long, they may not stay twirled, can flop around more, and require more stands to reach the same size. More mess, more work.

          Also, I would challenge you to tell which end of the pasta went in first. Actually, it would be a challenge to even find a way to test that…

      More bread is thrown away in stores than is wasted by cutting the crusts off. So I don’t really care anymore how people eat their bread. Most of the time I eat the crusts but sometimes I cut them off.

    I’ll get more mad about overcooked pasta than I will if someone breaks spaghetti.

    Who gets upset about cutting the crust off? It’s just the part of the bread that was most directly exposed to the heat

      Well, lots of us were parented to not throw food away. Just the thought of someone always cutting off the crust when they’re eating bread, that does irk me in that sense, too.

      But as someone else in this thread already said, with proper bread, the crust is actually good. Then it just seems really strange to cut off the interesting part of the bread and to just want the samey stuff in the middle.

    I toss pizza crust. Useless log. Where does that stand? I’ll accept down votes as whole hearted agreement, brothers in down with crust movement.
