Yep, you can order them through "finger hut" type mail order places. I
have never tried one and cant say how well it works, but if its anything
like my battery operated martini stirer (an electric swizzle stick) it
probly is not really usefull.

When it comes to commercal pasta i prefere a noodle rather than a
spaghetti. When i make my own pasta i tend to cut it thicker & wider
than comercial thus making it easy to 'spear', or otherwise anchor on
the fork for ease of conveyance from plate to mouth. For that matter i
am more likely to purchase fettuchini than i am spaghetti for no better
reason than ease of eating.

I like to use a vinegrette to dress pasta which make it more slippery
than a thick cream or tomato sauce.
