A photo. That's a well used 16-inch nonstick skillet. I've had that
pan for a couple of decades. I used plain old corn oil for the frying.

Oh, yes, Mother also used eggs and minced onions in hers. Sometimes she
used crushed saltines instead of corn flakes.

I added minced onion. If I have a bell pepper I'll mince a little of
that to the mix, too.

Yes! You're bringing back memories of how my mother did it all those years

Nice memories, I hope. When I was a kid my mother added crushed corn
chips (like Fritos). Wow were they salty! She clipped the recipe from
some "woman's magazine" in the early 1960's. I have made them using
crushed unsalted corn/tortilla chips and they tasted just fine.

Everyone seems to make a big deal out of my adding crumbs of any kind.
I'm not talking about a significant amount of crumbs. (I just eyeballed
it until the mixture held together enough to form the patties.) Back in
the day, this was a way to stretch the meal when you had kids to feed
and were on a budget.

The word "pasta" works but since there are so many types and shapes of
pasta it is easier to call it spaghetti.

Yes, very nice memories. We had loving parents and a very nice childhood.

Mother never used corn chips, but she did crush corn *flakes* for various
dishes. I don't ever remember seeing her use bread crumbs, but she
frequently used crushed corn flakes or saltines. She did use bread *cubes*
for various purposes--turkey stuffing, "hash," etc.

I could call all long pasta "spaghetti", but it won't work when I
serve my sauce over tubular pasta - mainly because I don't want to
convey the idea that I'm twirling when I'm really stabbing.

I've heard that too. Must be why we tend to say spaghetti when we
generalize.

I only usually use 3 kinds. Flat for lasagne, penne for baked, and
linguine. I suppose I sometimes use others but they are the 3 staples I
keep in my store.

Right. I like a lot of other pasta shapes, but now only prefer angel
hair pasta over thicker "long straight thin noodles" for the pasta impaired.

Tastes are allowed to change (except at Sheldon's house), Cheryl and
you're entitled. I only angel hair almost exclusively for years...
but now I use many different types, even bucatini on occasion.

Vermicelli is good, too. Thinner than spaghetti but thicker than angel

I find it strange, really, I don't know nobody that does. The generic word
is pasta, then there is minestra but it includes pasta only in the north, in
the south minestra is just wet dishes (soups, minestrone, things in broth).
The funny thing is that nowaday the word "maccheroni" indicates a short
pasta format, in the past times maccheroni were longh as today's spaghetti
or ziti. Still today there are "maccheroncini di Campofilone" that are a
long (and very thin) pasta format:
