" When I polish off a plate of pasta, I happily twirl the long strands around the prongs of my fork, using a large spoon to steady the fork. Now a friend tells me it&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;bad manners&amp;quot; to employ a spoon. Is she right? What you&amp;#039;re doing is perfectly fine. Twirling pasta around a fork -- either with or without a large spoon -- is a most genteel way to eat long strands. Or you can get some leverage by turning the pasta while holding the tines of your fork against the edge of your plate. It&amp;#039;s even correct to neatly cut the pasta if twirling is too hard. What is undeniably bad manners is slurping in a mouthful of trailing pasta without benefit of twirl or knife. It&amp;#039;s often loud, and it&amp;#039;s never pretty.
