Ah yes, My favorite Italian dishes, Waffles and Defects.

Big fan of antignocchi myself. It's got that certain taste of total annihilation you can't get anywhere else.

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 31 points 11 months ago

It's actually happened.

To help describe the different particle configurations as you go into deeper and deeper layers of neutron stars - the way intense gravity plus pressure clumps the particles together - physicists have started referring to them as Gnocchi, Spaghetti and Lasagna.

Gnocchi are lumps of neutrons bunched together.
Spaghetti are strands of these Gnocchi.
Lasagna are sheets of these Spaghetti.

Throw the atoms against the wall and if they stick it confirms spaghetti theory is ready.

Appalled they called it antignocci and not torrone, but I'm not going to argue

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 11 points 11 months ago

Torrone is not a pasta!

Besides, we scientists like to name things anti-something, it's almost a compulsion.

[-] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 11 months ago

Waffles aren't pasta either

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 9 points 11 months ago

Well clearly the Italians didn't name that one, it was the damn Belgiums.

[-] Drewfro66@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Well, the Italian half of Belgium, anyways

[-] vzq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 months ago

There is no flat pasta with holes. That’s a gap in our pasta topology that needs to be remedied asap.

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 5 points 11 months ago

Then why are there waffles on the list???? What kind of pasta is that??? What kind of italian is waffles??? Mamma mia!

[-] Bumblefumble@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Gnocchi is also not a pasta.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 5 points 11 months ago

It's an absolute scandal.

[-] alcoholicorn@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

I'm just glad they didn't call it swiss cheese

[-] Thorry84@feddit.nl 13 points 11 months ago

But would Antignocchi be considered an antipasto?

[-] audalics@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

It's cacio e pepe all the way down

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 months ago

Pattern recognition

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 11 months ago
