"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
Science Chic wrote: If you prefer spaghetti over angel hair pasta, I can't associate with you and if you don't make your own you are lazy and contemptible! (I really just wanted to use the word contemptible!) Linguine, manicotti, and lasagne folk may be weird, but different can be good. Home-made chunky tomato spaghetti sauce or lemon butter garlic sauce only allowed on the pasta. Vegetarians and carnivores alike welcome, bring good wine and win a friend for life!
Would rice noodle people be atheists?? I like rice noodles..
So would now be a good time to acknowledge that pasta was not invented in Italy? Imagine the controversy around Marco Polo and his fantastic journey to the Far East, returning to Mediterranean Europe with the gift of pasta and other wonders. Or would it work the other way 'round?

Would those who choose Udon, Soba, and Ramen over Western European forms of pasta be more enlightened and in touch with the origins of their religion/world/universe? Are Chopsticks instruments introduced to man kind by the Flying Spaghetti Monster and is his name a medieval European manipulation of his original name?
The questions are flooding into my mind and I need answers!
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Well, Christianity originally came from the Middle East and now is a minority there meanwhile overseas it is quite popular in the New World so there is a tradition of making new homes. Like England, where curry shops seem to be much more popular than actual English food.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Universal Life Church will ordain you for free... They would include all types of pasta and sauces and even those who run out of spaghetti and make a meatball, marinara, mozzarella sandwich instead.
