Are you certain that the real contest here is about the spaghetti?
Lady on the left’s mouth reminds me of this scene from Arthur where he has to finish his dinner.

I’m sure the swimsuits were just to wash off the spaghetti sauce easier, right?
And to show off their food babies of course!
This was clearly a very serious news article at the time. None of the competitors wore their bunny ears
That is exactly what I would have pictured spaghetti in England looking like.
I wonder why they’re using chopsticks.

My assumption is because they’re exotic and most people don’t know how to use them, so it’s harder than using a fork.

At least the two on the left have no idea how to use them.

Me, personally, I prefer chopsticks for noodles.

yeah, i traditionally use chopsticks for asian noodles and forks for european noodles but now i’m gonna grab a pair of sticks for carbonara night and start an argument.
