Do you break spaghetti when you cook it?

Never. Only a neandrathal would do such a thing.

Discuss.

I was going to agree but then I remembered that if I add it to a soup, then yes, I break it up into little bits.

Otherwise, no. You can play with it better if it's whole.

You can always tell people who secretly break their spaghetti and lie about it by how they misspell "Neanderthal."

Yes, because it won't fit in the pan otherwise.

Always. And what's worse, I cut through it with knife and fork before eating. I'm sorry. I realize that makes me a Neanderthal, but I freely admit it. Being able to eat my spaghetti cleanly and neatly instead of worrying about wearing it on my blouse is part of the enjoyment for me.

Who would break spaghetti would treat the wind as well.

Ugh. Me break noodles. Me also use Ragu.
When met wife, me bash her on head, drag back to cave for pasta.
First date not go well. Served only White Zinfandel. She not want to
get Mesolithic that night.

(The above post is not true, BTW. I hate white zinfandel.)

A single break in the middle of the bundle is, in my opinion, very chic.

Generally I am overruled and forced to cook shells or rotini or penne, despite my personal preference for messy, strandy, tangly, uncut spaghetti. So it doesn't come up as an issue.

As well you should.

You spaghetti breakers and cutters don't know what you're missing out on. If you hold one end and swallow the unbroken strand (al dente is best for durability, here), you can pull it out and let your throat re-swallow it. Repeat until your fellow diners kill you.

Anybody have any suggestions on how I get this picture out of my head?
