My 4th grade teacher (Mr Walton)told me(and the class)that spagetti was grown in large fields.Farmers would start with little seeds((he held up some rice) and that the grew in rows along the ground.After failing to grow my own,I stuck some spagetti upright in a container of dirt and brought it to class.He winked and said he never saw pasta grow straight up like that..lol
My son is in his high school science class.I reminded Mr Walton of the "pasta test" and he remarked"it did get you to thinking about things now didn't it?" He was right!
