Speaking as a non-American, I find it weird and creepy how you guys over there spend your whole time getting worked up about stuff like this. I mean, in the UK, pasta is simply a choice. We don't make a big deal of it, and most of the population doesn't even think about it. Frankly, you are considered strange if you go on about it.

Well, sure. For you Brits, it's just another food to throw in a pot and boil until the taste goes away.

Is that how they came up with fish n chips?

Pasta is nothing more than mans foolish attempt to out do the potato. Something that just can't be done, you Pastafarians claim it to be so great, but then you admit to having to cover it in sauces to give it a flavor. I offer this, It's better to munch on tacos in hell than have to suck noodles in Italy.

Shouldn't that be "noodles in China"? After all, the Chinese were the ones that gave us that wretched food to begin with. Damn them!

Either or. This fella sucks down no mans noodle, I don't care where he's from!

So very very very true. I've seen the face of traditional British cuisine, and its name is spitnweep.

And thing is, we're all having a fake row over pasta here. Flailing about dramatically over nothing for the pleasure of consequence-free debate for a change. But speaking of what's truly creepy, Brits are just craaaaaaazy for that tea, man. Just craaaaaaaaaazy for that tea. While true that some Americans used it as a thin excuse to start a war, we just wanted to fight the Brits after living under the yoke of their pitifully impaired palates. We didn't actually like tea. It tastes like incense bong water. Such pretty art on the boxes though. Why? To distract people's attention from the flavor and suppress the gag reflex.

Well there must be some sort of honor in transforming something harmless into something lethal.

Mmmm, pasta for breakfast!

Mmmm, pasta for breakfast!

Morning, noon and night. That's right.

When I was in the hospital they fed me capellini d'angelo because it was the only food thin enough to fit through the IV tube. I was visited by an angel that saved my life that day... angel hair pasta anyway.

That was a lucky mistake. Someone accidentally filled the pot with oil instead of water and, tada!, flavor was born.

Nah I remember they used to boil people in oil as a form of execution. So I think it happened like, down at the local execution. "Is it just me or does that guy they just killed in the oil smell really good. This is just a thought but what if we throw a chicken in there?"

Mmmm, pasta for breakfast!

To which the reply was: "Chicken? That'd likely ruin it. I got an idea; let's try a fish. They've got a smell that could use a little improvement..."

Chicken, chicken, we don need no steenkin chicken

Real men eat large herd animals. While the meat is still warm.

Careful there CJ, you might ignite another uproar. Those fancy-lad Brits are mighty T'ed-off that we Southerners improved their bleh Old World beverage into a mighty refreshing way-of-life, fit for man or hummingbird. {waits impatiently for fryolater to get up to temperature}

Down with pasta. Pastafarians are controlling the government. Just look at the USDA food pyramid. They also faked the moon landing, but that's another story.

The carbohydrates in pasta spike your body's insulin levels, telling your body to store all of these calories as fat!

Pasta (and the carbs, therein) are a delibrate attack on the freedoms of our pancreas. Eating Pasta (carbs) makes our pancreas work too hard, raising our insulin levels, that will eventually lead to diabetes - a debilitating disease. Thus, we can assume, the Pastafarians are trying to overthrow world governments and enslave the peoples to their nefarious recipes and seductive entrées.

(I love this thread.)

That's some powerful reasoning. Must come from having a big braaaaaaaaain... would you like a brochure for the coming Zombpocalypse? Braaaaaaaaaains {wipes away drool} are high in protein and low in calories.

You sir, are the true threat to liberty with this blatant propaganda. Anyone can make up science to suit them, but where are your golden mean studies to prove your point about pasta = diabetes and who really paid for them? Follow the money sez me, and you'll see that everything you believe was bought and paid for by the big anti pasta movement. Their lobbyists are like termites eating the white house inside out.

You will submit to said seductive entrées. YOU WILL!

The money was provided by the People Against Pastafarian Supremacy EvAngalistic Reform, or PAPSMEAR.... we gotta get a new name guys.... which is in turn funded by the widow of Chef Boyardee herself. After his coma and eventual death from pasta consumption she new she had to save people from the wickedness of the noodle! The poor dear works so hard towards this end, despite her own morbid obesity brought about by a life of sucking down every sauce dripping noodle her husband shoved in her mouth.

If there is pasta, then why does it allow English people to exist?

If there is pasta, then why does it allow English people to exist?

Because pasta is in league with the Squid Men from 20,000 Fathoms. The English people are part of their nefarious plot to enslave all mankind.

If there is pasta, then why does it allow English people to exist?

'Cause their continued existence is already the cruelest form of punishment there is?

So, pasta is malevolent then?

Says the guy who liked Chef Boyardee on facebook.

So, we've established that pasta is NOT omnibolerrophant.

So the final sphincter of this epicureal riddle is this:
assuming there IS no pasta, no desert, and no after dinner Brandee,
why not just end it all?

Because there can still be pesto, ice-cream, or a shot or two of Bushmill.

Oh, and pasta is good for you, so says Gunde Svan.

To Zombie Pizza Delivery Girl - Thank you. My brain is quite large but I'm kind of attached to it. No need for a brochure. I already have my zombie plan.

To The Jade, Me - a threat to liberty? Quite the contrary. I am a freedom fighter. Trying my best to free the people from the cruel and unusual punishment being inflicted upon the masses by your coma-inducing, diabetes-producing, waistline-enlarging, temptress that is pasta. Follow the money? Absolutely. The Pastafarians are consistently the largest donators to the multitude of political hand puppets that support your evil tyranny of the kitchen.
The brave souls that have pledged their support to PAPSMEAR are reaching out right now to the grass roots organizations around the world rising up against the dominion of starches, the deadly triumvirate of pasta, potatoes, and rice. The PPR has long held the world hostage in its iron kettle carbohydrate hell but no more! You can tempt our taste buds but you cannot take our F-R-E-E-D-O-M!

To Conspiracy Buff - Are you sure it was the Squid Men? I was almost positive it was the Crab People.

Screw ya pasta lovin asses. I'll stick to meat and potatoes, the way The Irish God intended. Now don't make me have to get Boondock Saints on yer sorry asses.
