Yeah I get that. Spaghetti especially is hard to judge.

I don't have many things that I enjoy in life, but good food is one of them.

What is your alternative? Making noodles yourself? Who the fuck does that?

Also, I don't eat a lot of pasta anymore. It isn't like I'm buying fresh pasta once a week or something. Trader Joe's usually has some decent fresh pasta too.

I was joking about location. It is usually in the refrigerated section near packaged cheeses and stuff like that. Common national brands are ones like this:

But usually there are better, regional brands you can find. And like I said, Trader Joes has it most of the time, and they are cheap.
