In my experience, other than just doing it out of habit like
yourself, many people who break spaghetti in half do it to limit
the longest possible dangling length of spaghetti from the
fork to about four or five inches, which they then feel okay about
slurping. Without breaking it in half, there might be eight
or ten inches of spaghetti dangling off the fork, which demands
an extended, sort of double slurp.
