    Would have been way funnier to make it all “macaroni” or “pasta” and leave one tiny section for “spaghetti”, because somehow that’s the distinction people make.

      In persian “macaroni” is actually the umbrella term for all noodles. So persian macaroni are spaghetti most of the time.

          noodles are pasta but pasta aren’t necessarily noodles since all pasta is spaghetti, as the meme foretells.

          Important western noodles include spatzle and egg noodles!

          I’d argue that pierogi/vareniki count too, but I understand if you disagree.
