Long Spaghetti in Blue Paper Wrapper

[Rhona]

Does anyone remember it? It was an Italian brand - must have been around in the 1980's. I remember my father cooking with it - the same company made giant conchiglioni for stuffing.

I've google'd and can't find it - anyone know what I'm talking about?

I remember it...

They still sell it in various Delis around the place.....

Lord, this place is brilliant! Thanks - I've been searching for ages. I LOVE this pasta and it's years since I've seen it anywhere.

Marvellous - thank you!

They sold long spaghetti (can't remember which make though) in Morrisons up till last year - haven't seen it in ours for a while but it might be in bigger stores still.

And in our Sainsbury's until only weeks ago. I had to settle for the shorter version; but it quite takes the fun out of it

Oh fab! An excuse to place another order (like I needed one). Thanks again for pointing me to them - one of the best food-related discoveries of last year.

Apparently I am an oik so SD says - I can't twizzle, I have to use a knife and fork

I remember eating the long spaghetti when I was a kid, such fun
Not much better at it now!

Remember taking some home to my mum in the early 70`s only to find her breaking it up in the kitchen because it wouldn`t fit in the pan.

because of the bad weather I shopped in morrisons yesterday on the way home from work & they had buitoni long spaghetti at 50p/500g i got some funny looks buying a dozen packs

Just got in from rescuing my dad (flat battery) and popped in to Tesco (he was filling up with petrol) for a quick spot of shopping.

They are now doing Tesco Finest spaghetti - long stuff - 1kg pack for £2.59 - not cheap but I bought some to try tonight

Good tip Shirley, thanks. I like Tesco Finest pasta - pretty good bronze die stuff. The linguini from that range is one of the nicest I've tasted. I'll nip to our Tesco tomoz and see if they've got it.

It was pretty good. I am not a huge pasta fan mind you.
