Talk:List of pasta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
＊ most of them are italian or western pasta, should not we point it out at somewhere so people won't have the wrong impression that this is the list of pasta all over the world...

[edit] Gnocchi
Technically not a pasta, but a potato dumpling. As Wikipedia notes at gnocchi, "Gnocchi are often listed among pasta dishes, although gnocchi has different ingredients and mode of preparation." An encyclopedia has to be precise, and not be so lax as to lump gnocchi with pasta the way a casual magazine article, say, might. -- Tenebrae 02:18, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rotini isn't fusili
And I don't think it's accurate or right to treat them as synonymous.--Anchoress 05:27, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Images
I'd strongly recommend that only images that show the shape clearly be used in this list. Prepared dishes tend to have too much other stuff. Cburnett 05:42, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Capellini vs. Angel Hair
All independent sources I could find—save one—that discuss a difference between Angel Hair and Capellini state that Capellini is the thicker of the two.
The Sources listed below all agree on Angel Hair as the smallest round-rod pasta:
- Food Lover’s Companion: Third Edition. Sharon Tyler Herbst, editor. ©2001 Barron’s Educational Series, Inc. ISBN 0-7641-1258-9. — Comprehensive Definitions of nearly 6000 food, drink, and culinary terms.
- The Cook’s Thesaurus
- Good Housekeeping
- Practically Edible
The one source that describes Capellini as thinner than Angel Hair is Hormel Foods, which implies that they switched the names for their product lines.
