Another stab at flyssa origins

Thanks. I wish I owned it.

Isn't that whole Marco Polo myth amazing? I can't believe people have believed it so long. Why, Trader Joes was selling raw spaghetti fruit in their produce section about a month ago, and people still insist on buying the dried, processed product. Fresh is so much better!

Of course, we're not helping. No one has posted any of the antique spaghetti harvesting or processing knives in way too long. It's a shame, really--they're such weird knives for Europe. Anybody have one?

Best,

F
