No, SF. They're not unusual at all. But then you didn't know what a Boca
Burger was so I have to assume that you only buy certain specific things and
don't ever look for anything else.

My cupboard has a lot of pasta in it. None of it contains egg. I can't eat
eggs. Granted the closest thing in shape to an egg noodle would be
Fettuncine. I think you do need the egg in there to get that shape. And in
your typical grocery store, you're unlikely to find any more than just a few
pasta shapes in the no egg category, gluten free or otherwise. Mine is
whole wheat. I do have some nice shapes imported from Italy and it's very
good. Can get online, perhaps at a store that sells Italian foods or some
of the "better" markets here like PCC, Central Market or Whole Foods. We
don't eat that stuff often and mainly only when I find a good sale. Mostly
we eat the Hodgson's Mills. Some people take issue with the texture but we
like it just fine.
