Eating raw pasta

Factual Questions

[QUOTE=Harmonious Discord]
As noted it was in childhood. We got pop once a week. We got chips and other treats once a week. The pasta was something we could snack on that wasn’t flour or sugar or a raw potato. Are you seeing why we snuck pasta? There wasn’t much in the house that we could eat, when it wasn’t a regular meal time. At meal time you didn’t dawdle, or you were out of luck.

This is exactly the reason I did it. We didn’t have “snack food” on tap, so if I was hungry (or bored) between meals, I’d raid the kitchen cupboards to see what I could eat straight out of the packet. Dried pasta was one, and Oxo cubes were another. (I still have a weakness for Oxo cubes!)

I like to crunch on uncooked spaghetti too. I also like eating raw pasta before it dries when making it from scratch. I’ve never gotten sick from either.

Raw dry or raw fresh pasta? It makes a difference.

Yep. Licking the Oxo cubes and rewarapping them for later. Sort of like a sucker.
