I do not care if people break spaghetti because they want smaller pieces.
I do care if they break it to "make it fit in the pot".
Because it softens enough in boiling water to bend and fit after a few seconds. So people who break it for that purpose, are blatently lacking in basic critical and logical thinking, and they need to learn so they stop perpetuating that nonsense.
For people who just want smaller pieces, that's fine. Since that type of pasta isn't available in all stores, and might even be more expensive based on where you are because of much lower mass production numbers.
Because Italian food is the only thing left of the Roman Empire.

If you saw someone wearing shoes upside down with their laces tied around their ankles wouldn't you say
"Hey! There's a better way to do that! That's not how you use shoes!"
This is the same concept but with chefs and Italians
I mean if I live with them and they waste a lot of food I might care a bit.
I know cutting crust off is a waste of food, but how is breaking pasta a waste?
If you really want to put it that way, when you try to break a noodle, you'll notice it always breaks into three pieces, the middle piece can be very small if you do it with your hands close to each other, but you will always lose a small amount of pasta by breaking it.
I just noticed you can even see it in the post all the lil pieces flying all around the photo lol
That's why you break them over the pot, angled so the broken bits go into the pot. It's an easy fix.
But why breaking it in the first place?
I think to fit it in the pot so one half isn't undercooked vs the side that's not in water
... are you all out there just yeeting pasta into a pot and leaving it to boil unattended
If I wanted to attend my food I wouldn't be making spaghetti
I don't see any issues with modifications on food. Do whatever for you to eat. Who cares
yeah! let me eat my bananas with ketchup in peace
As much as an abomination this is, if someone likes it then that's on them
I put Nutella and mayo on meat lovers pizza it's such a great combo
in conclusion: italians lmao
P.S.: Pineapple is good on pizza
