Oh, right, so when an American kid says "We're having
spaghetti for lunch", he means a big heaping plate of
nothing but plain noodles -- no sauce, no cheese, and
no beef hamburger. Right.

When I order spaghetti at Lorena's Italian Restaurant
(which I do about once a week), I don't have to tell
them I'd also like the above ingredients put on it.
