Thanks to this 1942 Life article for clearing up the great "spaghetti debate." As an Italian-American, I've been doing it the right way all along (thanks Papa), but for some, they just don't get it. Below is the correct way to "Mangiare" spaghetti.

Here's the right way to eat spaghetti: 

1. Use your fork to separate out exactly four strands of spaghetti.

2. Gently twirl them against a spoon.

3. Eat the entire forkful at once.

4. Feel free to slurp up the noodles as necessary.
