My friend and I came up with a time killer / conversation starter / drinking topic based upon the Seinfeld episode with “Fusilli Jerry”. That krazy Kramer build a mini of Jerry made out of dried fusilli pasta. Because Jerry is “silli”. So when I’m out with a group of people I like to assign them what pasta shape they would be based on aesthetics and personality.

Here are some celebrity examples I came up with:

• Mario Batali would be ravioli, because he’s big and full of good stuff.
• Christian Bale would be penne, because he’s versitile.
• Paris Hilton would be bucatini because she’s a stick who is hollow inside. Burn!
• Michael Phelps would be lasgna.
• Posh Spice would be angel hair.

Go to the National Pasta Association to see various shapes.

Stay tuned for my next game: How would you cook your friends?

Full of holes for your eating pleasure.
