Long Spaghetti
 

I had a bolognese for tea. It was lovely, but it would have been nice to have some of that long spaghetti that's readily available back home. I know it's the same really but it's quite satisfying coiling it into the pan as it cooks.

Has anyone seen it here? (preferably a normal shop - not somewhere annoying hipsters go to on commercial drive)

Fnar fnar...:o

Alan, I haven't seen that for ever...I didn't know they made it anymore - I could never find it in France, just the "half sized long spaghetti". I really liked it, great fun...I'd hesitate now with my husband unless I needed the kitchen repainting:)

Make your own. Pasta is one of the easiest things to make. Cheap pasta roller, some flour, oil, an egg and water and Robert is your mother's brother. :)

And slurping it up! :D

You can still get it in tesco:frown:

Every time I go to a new supermarket I check to see if they have any and they never do. Unless they keep it in a weird illogical place - like anchovies not being with every other canned fish for some mysterious reason only known to canadian supermarket owners.

Alan! Don't start me on the hunt for anchovies! Mind mapping and and lateral thought are needed in spades....why do the Canadians do it? But I find as a nation they categorise things very oddly in the isles:confused:

Dorothy, I do have a pasta machine, and god knows how many specialist little cutting and shaping tools, and one day in the future if I ever get my kitchen up, I may well unearth them...I might even use them:o. Good quality dried pasta however, is a pretty basic product and one even the Italians grab with gusto, so I don't think it's much to ask for....mind you here writes a woman who tried to buy Polenta in Fredericton!

I can find polenta easily enough, although the packets are too big really. I had a bit of a result today because I found a steak and kidney pie (which I'll be having for tomorrows tea).

I've found the spaghetti here be the roughly the same length as back at home although the sauce it comes in is a little sweeter. I tend to opt for the Zoodles or the Scooby Doo’s these days.

How long is long spaghetti? Serious question:)

Wash yer mouth out.

Re: Long Spaghetti
 

The spaghetti in cupboard here is in 10 5/8" lengths. Is that long, luv?

Re: Long Spaghetti
 

Just use a smaller pan. ;)

Re: Long Spaghetti
 

But how thick? Metric's fine.

I buy a jolly nice quinoa spaghetti from Costco. Sometimes the sticks aren't cut properly at the ends and so one has the excitement of a double length of noodle.

I realise that this does not help you with the noodle into pan coiling scenario but I felt the urge to share.
