The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Spaghetti and meatballs are great, but they often require having to sit down and eat. And, then there’s all of that fork-twirling… uuugh, the twirling.
Dude Foods is here to make the experience a bit more convenient with The Spaghetti and Meatballs Cone. Taking a cue from the user-friendly ice cream cone, the spaghetti housing is made by forming the pasta into cone shape, and topping it with a giant meatball.
Now, go… be free, eat pasta. No twirling required.

Finally, we can combine the wonders of Taco Tuesday with pasta night (every day except Tuesday). The Vulgar Chef is here to show you how, with Spaghetti and Meatball Tacos.
During his simple and profanity-laden tutorial, Kyle shows us how to form pasta into viable taco shells, while the spaghetti and meatballs provide the innards. Dinner is served… all week.

It’s pasta night… again. And, with pasta night, comes the stress and anxiety of portioning. Too much, and it’s pasta night tomorrow… again. Too little, and you risk an angry family in the throes of carb-withdrawal.
Luckily, the I Could Eat A Tea-Rex Spaghetti Measuring Tool is here to save pasta night. The tool has openings, one gradually larger than the other, so that you can get your pasta quantities correct every time. Again and again.

We’ve seen hamsters eating burritos and giving thanks for sawdust and running wheels. This time, love is in the air, and apparently Valentine’s Day isn’t exclusive to humans.
Tiny Hamster’s Tiny Date, by Hello Denizen, follows a few love-struck rodents through their date night. There’s even a romantic gondola ride, complete with accordion music and a spaghetti dinner.
And, if you’ve never seen hamsters eat spaghetti before… SPOILER… It’s mind-blowingly adorable.

Want to scare the daylights out of a few dinner guests and/or turn them to stone? The Medusa Plate is the work of artist Vik Muniz, who often works in the medium of spilled food.
This particular plate, offered at the MOMA Store, has Spaghetti Medusa printed right on it, so you’ll never be able to wash her away. You’ll probably not want to eat on the Medusa Plate anyway, since it costs $500.
