Scarlet needs [url=http://cybermessageboard.ehost.com/getalife/viewtopic.php?t=28&start=820]help[/url]! She can't decide whether to go with rainbow rotini or rigatoni for the bar mitzvah, so I think it's time for an extended discussion. It may not require one, but pointless extended discussions are a hallmark of this forum. Rotini Rigatoni (edited to make the rotini the correct color)

Rigatoni. All the way.

ROFL - Thanks seawolf :)

Diamond Dad Jan 10 2006 11:42 AM Yes |
This is EXACTLY what we need -- pointless, extended discussion.

I said NOTHING about Pencil Points. They weren't even posed as an option. I'm not making you eat any Pencil Points!

Rotini, and your guests will thank you.
|

Wow. Who would've thought a decision thread between rigatoni and rotini ends with [u:04b0170f50]bow ties[/u:04b0170f50] getting the boot?? CPF helps get things done.

Things take interesting twists and turns around here.

Yet more sauce per bite is a huge plus. At least it is with Nonna's or Mom's ziti and meatballs. It's a huge plus with Dad's or Uncle John's vodka sauce. This could be a minus based on quality of sauce.

ScarletKnight41 Jan 10 2006 11:55 AM |
We're having Vodka Sauce as an option :)

IMO, which pasta depends on which sauces/extras you're serving it with.
|
MFS62 Jan 10 2006 12:13 PM |
If you're having options on the sauce, no wonder you're dreaming about planning this.
|

Whole wheat pasta is much better for you than that bleached stuff.

Rotini. More texture, more surface area, more fun.

The health issue prolly isn't foremost in the 13-year-old food-choice thinking.
|
Elster88 Jan 10 2006 12:51 PM |
This is the first time I've considered cheating in a poll. I really want rigatoni to win.

This recalls the failed Lunchtime Olympics of 2003.

We already settled upon our sauce choices, although those were announced prior to our televised broadcast -

Widey's invited? Are all of us?
|
sharpie Jan 10 2006 02:44 PM |
Why decide? Three sauces, two pastas.
|
ScarletKnight41 Jan 10 2006 02:45 PM |
I was actually applauding Dickshot's prescience in this thread.
|
ScarletKnight41 Jan 10 2006 03:32 PM |
Rigatoni is out again. The Bar Mitzvah boy expressed a strong preference for Bow Tie pasta. So we're going with Bow Ties, and Rainbow Rotini.
|
seawolf17 Jan 10 2006 03:35 PM |
Hey, it's not about him. It's about us, your uninvited guests who are just going to show up for free pasta.
|
cooby Jan 10 2006 03:36 PM |
Oh it's rainbow rotini
|
metsmarathon Jan 10 2006 04:09 PM |
rainbow rotini.
|
seawolf17 Jan 10 2006 04:12 PM |
And the red, white, and green make it seem like a nice Italian Bar Mitzvah.
|
Elster88 Jan 10 2006 04:16 PM |
Except that no Italian would ever serve colored pasta.

And (cold) pasta salad is an athema, too. Pasta should only be served one way - hot, with "gravy" (as home made tomato sauce is called). Right, 88? Later

It's not gravy! Believe me, not all Italians call it that.
|
Elster88 Jan 10 2006 04:39 PM |
I've heard it both ways. Gravy is most common, but only because it was a common term here. I don't think the Italian word(s) for "tomato sauce" translates to gravy.

hmmmm... gravy....
|
Yancy Street Gang Jan 10 2006 04:49 PM |
I never heard tomato sauce referred to as gravy until I was an adult.
|
MFS62 Jan 10 2006 05:11 PM |

Yancy, best as I can figure from talking to my friends, its a household-by-household thing, probably depending on what region of Italy your ancestors were from. Later

KC Jan 10 2006 06:09 PM |
I'm not Italian, but a more than capable cook. The sauce I make with

Once again, Scarlet and Diamond Dad have foolishly sacrificed the future (by way of dry-cleaning bills and perhaps permanently stained evening wear), and for what? So they can brag about the impossible-to-keep-on-your-fork fancy colored pasta they served at their kid's Bar mitzvah?

Gravy v. Sauce.... I once had a bet with an Italian co-worker who called the red stuff "gravy"...well we looked it up-- gravy is the drippings from meat, sauce the remnants of fruits and/or vegetables (if memory serves me correctly)...since he said that in his house the pan drippings from meatballs were added to the tomato "sauce", we decided to call it a wash.
