It's interesting. You don't see Italians use the spoon technique until
you get towards the south. Northerners pull a few strands out of the
pile and twirl them on the plate onto the fork. You'll see more
Neapolitans and Sicilians using spoons. Different understanding of
what's "proper." One set of my grandparents were northerners; the other
Sicilian. Meals were exhausting.
My approach is that I'm hungry and the best way to get it into my face
quickly is the best way.
