How do you eat spaghetti? Are you eating it the right way? Maybe, you aren’t sure. I will tell you how to eat spaghetti in this article.

So, what are the table manners when you are eating spaghetti? The very first rule is to keep your hands on the table and your elbows off of the table. Definitely be sure to wait for everyone to be served before starting to eat your spaghetti. The most common mistake is to overload too much pasta on the fork and this leads to only bad things. If you decide its too big or too long, drop it down and pick up a smaller bite of spaghetti. Do not use your spoon to roll the noodles and never bite off the excess and let it fall back into your bowl. You can bite off spaghetti and put it back into your bowl all you want, at home.

Common mistakes: Dont slurp. Absolutely no sounds of any kind while you eat. Dont splatter. Spaghetti can sometimes splatter the sauce. So be careful, but dont wear a napkin as a bib unless you are a small kid. Avoid spaghetti for large or formal parties. Short pasta (rigatoni, penne, etc) are much easier to serve and to eat.

Spaghetti will be served in a deep bowl like a shallow soup-dish with a rim. One technique I like to use is to make room at the front of the bowl pushing the spaghetti a little toward the center. Take a little bunch of the spaghetti with the prongs of the fork. Push it against the front side. Roll up and eat all in one bite. Easy, right?

Now, working with the fork in a vertical position, and the prongs against the rim of the bowl, twirl the fork clockwise with your fingers to roll the spaghetti around your fork. Raise the fork with the spaghetti wrapped around above the bowl, and measure the length with your eyes.
