If you could be any pasta, which kind would you be?

Just curious, I would love to be a long thin spaghetti noodle, so I could be sucked up in one breath by a luscious man on a break from the gelato parlour!

And this has what relationship to travel in Europe? <BR> <BR>Any fetishes you'd like to share? Do hope your analyst returns from vacation soon.

The farfalla, because it has such a lovely evocative name, and if released from the confines of its box out of doors, it will turn into the most beautiful, colorful, iridescent creature, and flutter off into the soft sunshine, where gentle breezes will help carry it to France as a papillon and Spain as a mariposa.

I'll take a cut at this, as it is one of the most wacky threads I've seen in a while. <BR> <BR>I'd be lasagna because I would be thin and flexible.

Little alphabet macaroni, so I could help teach kiddies to read, so they will have a lifetime of interesting things to learn, and will never be so bored that they would waste hours asking and answering questions on a travel website when their next vacation is not for many months.

Cindy, <BR> <BR>Almost every image of lasagna noodles I can think of leads to the word "broad", not "thin"! <BR> <BR>

Hey zzz, don't poke fun at Cindy. She was obviously only trying to tell us that she is "fat and can't bend very well".

Ah, Farfaletta, I am Farfalla. We can flutter off together during our brief and colorful lifetimes. I love our names in France and Spain, too. (Does anyone know what butterflies are called in other languages besides I., F. and S.?)

Oh MY GOD - this is a goofy thread!!! <BR> <BR>I'll play. If I could be a pasta, I'd be a tortellini; round & tasty & filled with formaggio. Or maybe I'd be swimming in a soup tureen of brodo!

Cavetelli -my grandmother called it ga-va-dil. Thick, short, and curled into itself-and fresh not dry. <BR>Option two would have to be ziti (no lines) and long not short boxed stuff <BR>yeah, the two foot tube ziti!

Oh, a bowtie for sure. All dressed up and ready to go. I'd prefer some of the fancier colors now available, like the turqoise, white, and red we picked up in Positano.
