Two Bytes Are Better Than One

Maybe hate is too strong a word... more like least favorite. I would prefer any other pasta first.

I do use a fork, but this is a pet peve of mine... I'm talking about when random nobodies (elitist snobs of zero relevance to my life) decide for everyone else what IS the proper way to cook/eat/wear/drink/brew/sip/sample/etc something, or otherwise.

Screw all of that pretentious bullpuckery. I'll eat spaghetti with my hands if I want to and you can gasp and frown all you like while pointing at the rulebook and being a so-called expert because your friends agree you are. I honestly don't care.

I've always ate it by using a fork to twirl it on a spoon... like my grandfather taught me when I was 5 or 6, about 25 years ago.

I'm just happy I'm not the only one who prefers chopsticks. A few years back I gave up on the noodles with a fork combination because it just doesn't work for me.

Elizabeth Post?? Did you mean to say EMILY POST??

After I learned that my Italian-American friend from Long Island cut her spaghetti to eat it, I never again bothered with the fork-and-spoon method for eating spaghetti. Although I never bothered with it prior, I do like to know what's "proper" at least. It's a weakness.
