Some colleagues of mine and I got into a pretty heated debate about pasta today and I wanted to bring my ideas here to see if I am truly mad or if my coworkers are.
Here is the context: They were "ranking" pasta noodle shapes. Things like "Orzo is S tier, but Rigortony is D tier, while Spaghetti is A tier."
This baffled me, to me they're all just pasta! What difference does it make whether you make a lasagna with Orzo or a baked Ziti with Penne? I have never once in my life cared about that. But my coworkers hooted and hollered around the water cooler at the thought that I might not mind some cheese wrapped in spaghetti as opposed to, say, a Ravioli. To me, it all tastes the same, and being picky about which specific pasta is involved simply does not matter. In fact, I'd even consider it a first world problem to mind.
Am I crazy?
