I find penne pasta tastes better if I align each north to south before pouring over the sauce. The tomatoes have a deeper flavour, the way the pasta fills the bowl is almost three dimensional and don’t get me started on the inky blackness!
I am sure that there are some that will argue that True North gives higher highs and lower lows than magnetic north. My Wife argues that the influence of the compass that I use to align the pasta makes my observations invalid
The accelerated drifting of magnetic north has made me move away from my previous acetate Pastatractor TM to a GPS aligned laser grid for my penne. Fusilli are continuing to prove a challenge as the spirals create their own flux and the iron chokes used to counteract that are choking the children.
