hi there,

we ate yesterday at an 'italian' resturant ordering spaghetti
bolognese.

the plate was of macaroni spirals mixed about in bolognese sauce.

it did not resemble my preconceptional idea that spaghetti bolognese
is a dish of cooked spaghetti or other long thin pasta with bologese
sauce neatly poured on the top.

the waiter and the owners said that macaroni is the same as spagetti.
as i am not italian i felt i wasnt in a position to argue with people
who have been eating these dishes since their childhood.

Maybe some here could enlighten me, can you use macaroni spirals and
still call it spaghetti bologese? would you serve it that way in your
resturant?

thanks,

curious Sam
