Ah yes, My favorite Italian dishes, Waffles and Defects.

Big fan of antignocchi myself. It's got that certain taste of total annihilation you can't get anywhere else.

It's actually happened.

To help describe the different particle configurations as you go into deeper and deeper layers of neutron stars - the way intense gravity plus pressure clumps the particles together - physicists have started referring to them as Gnocchi, Spaghetti and Lasagna.

Gnocchi are lumps of neutrons bunched together.
Spaghetti are strands of these Gnocchi.
Lasagna are sheets of these Spaghetti.

Throw the atoms against the wall and if they stick it confirms spaghetti theory is ready.

Appalled they called it antignocci and not torrone, but I'm not going to argue

[–] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Torrone is not a pasta!

Besides, we scientists like to name things anti-something, it's almost a compulsion.

Waffles aren't pasta either

[–] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

Well clearly the Italians didn't name that one, it was the damn Belgiums.

There is no flat pasta with holes. That’s a gap in our pasta topology that needs to be remedied asap.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Then why are there waffles on the list???? What kind of pasta is that??? What kind of italian is waffles??? Mamma mia!

[–] Bumblefumble@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Gnocchi is also not a pasta.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

It's an absolute scandal.

[–] alcoholicorn@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

I'm just glad they didn't call it swiss cheese

[–] Thorry84@feddit.nl 12 points 1 year ago

But would Antignocchi be considered an antipasto?

[–] audalics@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

It's cacio e pepe all the way down

Pattern recognition

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago

At least one Belgian was involved
