The Art of Eating Spaghetti

When someone eats spaghetti, they are not just eating it; the technique that they use to eat it makes eatingspaghetti an art. For those who believe in the rules involved in etiquette, using a fork and a spoon is the way to go when eatingspaghetti. On the other hand, others just prefer to use a fork as their main tool.

When they do this they become one with the spaghetti as the sauce slowly begins to spread all over them. Eventually they will clean it off, but for the moment erasing is not allowed.

Other artists, on the other hand, believe that the only way to get the results
