And here I thought it grew underground like carrots.

Duh!

Do the Italians know about this??

The BBC nearly didn't recover from this mistake - millions of British people, who had never seen spaghetti back then, though that they had been made fun of, and they definitely did not see the funny side of it at all. For many many years after that, the BBC prohibited the broadcasting of April Fools jokes.

A bit like Orson Wells and HG Wells and the Martians landing.

Where's that famous "British Sense of Humor" when you need it?

:o Do the Italians know about this??

Do we know about it! ha....We perfected it.

Why do you think there's so many Varieties and Plant types....i.e. Vermicelli grows close to the Ground and must be harvested late as Angle hair comes from the same area, or high up on the tree and is harvested early....not to be confused with the Spaghetti sizes which are grown for the overseas markets.

Let us not forget the ground cover Macaroni strains, Ziti, Rigatoni that must be watched constantly as it is a favorite meal of the Giant Calabreze Hair.

No, Lets not take these Green Grown Grains for Granted.

Happy Trails
