In Italy, pasta is the first course, and a formal lunch or dinner usually follows the following serving order: appetizer (such as ham, meat sauce and fruit), soup, pasta, main course, salad, cheese, dessert, fruit, espresso and after-dinner drink.
How to eat spaghetti and its etiquette
There is only one form of spaghetti similar to China fried noodles. Spaghetti, tough in texture, can be preserved for a long time, that is, boiled for 10 minutes. Common pasta includes minced meat fried noodles, seafood fried noodles, sausage fried noodles and mushroom fried noodles. Eating spaghetti with a fork is a skill, which is far more complicated than using chopsticks. Picking up noodles with a fork can be called acrobatics. The trick is to take a spoon as the base, fork a small bundle of noodles, and rotate quickly in the spoon, so you can easily eat delicious spaghetti at will.
Europeans often say that the catering culture of western food is attributed to pasta, and it is precisely because of its birth that the table manners of knives and forks and western food were invented. The custom in Italy is to put noodles in a bowl first, then pour sauce and add cheese. Use your fork and spoon to mix the sauce and cheese noodles evenly, and only use the fork when eating.
Restaurants will put the spaghetti fork on the left hand side and the spoon on the right hand side. Hold the fork in your right hand. When winding spaghetti on the fork, lean the fork against the inner wall of the bowl or plate. Don't suck noodles into your mouth loudly, but swallow the noodles on the fork in one gulp. When ordinary people encounter ketchup or oily sauce without adhesion, they must roll up a small amount of noodles with the four sharp teeth of a fork, otherwise it may not only spill the sauce, but also be impolite to eat it all at once.
Besides, bread should not be eaten with pasta. This is a taboo in Italy. A meal may last for one to four hours. In Italian restaurants, the service charge is often included in the bill, but it is also appropriate to tip the waiter 5%.
There are many shapes of pasta, which can be roughly divided into three types according to their shapes and tastes: long noodles, short noodles and egg noodles. What we see most on weekdays is long noodles, which are more like noodles in China. According to different shapes, short faces have many names, including tubular face, nib face, shell face, helicoid face, butterfly face and so on. Egg noodles are noodles made of wheat flour and eggs, which are more elastic and taste better.
The sauces and ingredients used for each noodle are also different. Long noodles will be served with thinner sauce or olive oil, with mushrooms or cuttlefish, clams, cod and other seafood. Short noodles will be served with thick sauce. Different pasta tastes different:
When eating spaghetti such as noodles, you should slowly roll up the noodles with a fork and send them to your mouth. The easiest way is to roll up the noodles with a spoon and fork, turn the noodles over with the fork in your right hand, and let the noodles roll into a small bundle around the fork. At the same time, the left hand holds a fork and holds the noodles with a spoon, rolls them up and sends them to the mouth. Be careful not to roll too much at a time, just eat enough in one bite.
If it's not long noodles, scoop it up with a fork belly.
No matter what kind of pasta it is, don't stir the noodles or eat it with a spoon.
