My grandma was a first generation immigrant from Italy and would not have given a shit. I don't have a strong preference but not everyone wants longass spaghetti.
There's 37643782 pasta shapes and they all taste good
I bet long ass-spaghetti is someone's fetish, though 🤷
I love trying different pasta shapes. When I was single, I would keep several different types, and when I'd make pasta, I'd mix them up in the same pot. Fun!
Until I got married, and found out that some people are profoundly insulted by mixed pastas. It's not one of those things that couples discuss before marriage like kids, or which side of the bed they prefer, so it sort of blind sides you when it occurs.
I have also found that many people have strong preferences about shapes, and truly hate some shapes, claiming they taste bad. It's all pasta, shape shouldn't matter, but there is no negotiating with these people. Because of this, I seldom enjoy Farfalle anymore.
