That's the beauty of eating spaghetti or chow mein. It's perfectly acceptable to suck the longer ends up even if they slap your cheeks while you're doing it. It makes you look like you're a connosseur when you're doing it.

Just use the spoon as a base and twirl the spaghetti on it. Easy.

Could cause indigestion if the whole plate is eaten with a reverse spin.

Place it in the bowl hollow side down.

Drip soup all over yourself.

Say fuck it and put in a Three Stooges video.
