Maybe I am too concerned about my dignity. There is absolutely no way to eat it without it coming alive and flapping all over the place and splashing sauce on my face or clothes. I have even broken it in half before putting in the boiling water thinking smaller pieces would be more manageable but that didn't help. And it for sure won't twirl on a fork....or at least it will pretend to and the minute you pick up the fork it all flies off. I find that bringing my mouth about 3" from the bowl and working very fast gets some in my gullet before it can escape but I am not going to do that in a restaurant. It is still my favorite pasta. And my favorite is carbonara with bucatini which I had in Rome a year ago tomorrow for my birthday lunch. And for dinner I had cacio de pepe. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
