    Did not pre-kids. Do post-kids. Long noodles with kids is a disaster.

    I don’t, personally.

    I can certainly understand why one would though.

    My guess is that the same people answering yes are also one who enjoy the Olive Garden.


    For the parents (which I am one as well): It is okay to cut the noodles post cooking for the needs of the children.

    Yes, but not because of the answer that aligns with yes in the poll

    Is this a spinoff from the "how many bananas can you fuck for $10k" thread?

    No. And I don't give a fuck what someone does with their food in their own home. Drown it in ketchup too if you want.

    Fucking a banana is 100k; eating a banana is 10k

    This site is 20 years old, old enough to vote, almost old enough to drink. We might be running out of thread ideas.

    I hate nothing more than cutting children's food. If I can break with my bare hands in 2 seconds while raw what will take longer and be more difficult after cooking, that is what I shall do.

    I do not break.

    Spaghetti is not made to be broken.

    No authentic chef would break their pasta.

    As I noted, this gets you chopped on Chopped. This and not dressing your noodles in the sauce.

    That said, it’s your life, do what you want. There are certainly more substantive issues out there. I do plenty of things you shouldn’t in the kitchen. Do it they way you like.

    Rigatoni and penne have taken a more prominent role in my household. Kids enjoy it better since it is easier to eat.

    I like all kinds of pasta. My sons like penne best too.

    Some red sauce over a bowl of elbows or bowties with fresh Parma or a meat sauces is excellent too.

    I break spaghetti.

    If somebody wants to eat Olive Garden that's their prerogative. I personally haven't been in well over a decade, but you do you.

    People who care how others eat food need to find a hobby.

    The reason I break the pasta is because I eat it out of a somewhat small bowl and long noodles are a disaster in them, yes I could not break them and put it on a plate but that's just what I do
