Ingredients

Does linguine have different ingredients, then say perciatelli? (unsigned comment)

No, all dry pasta consists of wheat + water. Some kinds also have eggs and perhaps vegetables (spinach etc.) mostly for color. --Macrakis 19:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Linguine don't contain eggs, they are basically flat Spaghetti. 217.81.82.64 (talk) 18:10, 3 March 2019 (UTC) [Angelo][reply]

Popular culture section

took was stated to have "his legs look like linguini."' This doesn't make any sense to me. What is a beatdown? What does it mean to take a beatdown? How can a beatdown be stated to have his legs look like something? Could someone render this into intelligible standard English? --Macrakis 19:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unit of length

The linguine has been suggested as a standard of length [1] --jmb 00:46, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Length

The standard unit of length shall be the EU standard (Florentine) linguine (unboiled at sea level), defined as 1lg, representing 14cm, 0.02784 perches, 0.462 Japanese shyaku or 0.0007568 Ancient Greek stadium ptolemeys

For greater than 1lg, the following should be used:

* Double-decker bus = 65.85lg

* Brontosaurus = 15 double-decker buses laid bumper-to-bumper

* Length across known universe at shortest point = 136 trillion brontosauruses laid nose-to-tail

Wrong Spelling

I've tried to correct the spelling of this word but someone has accused me of vandalism. the LINGUINI spelling is wrong it isn't an anglicanization. Is simply a wrong spelling of a foreign word the only correct spelling of linguine is lyn-guh-iì-neh. Is just like a someone read in MERCEDES (the car brand) CED like "said" instead of "zed" as it should be read. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.25.195.188 (talk) 17:40, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. I will change the article to reflect this. --Tsk070 (talk) 15:02, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. The spelling 'linguini' is extremely common in English, as attested in a variety of corpora and as acknowledged in many dictionaries (e.g. American Heritage). It is arbitrary to call this innovation a misspelling. It is too well-established.Svenonius (talk) 13:44, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Right, linguini is extremely common as well as extremely wrong. Most of the English speaking world twisted countless of Italian words, including lasagne, just to make another example. Dictionaries are wrong. Before they print them, somebody should find out what's the right spelling for anything. Look at the third row of this: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elenco_dei_tipi_di_pasta#Sezione_rettangolare_o_a_lente. The correct spelling is linguine.

ICE77 (talk) 01:32, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But this is an article in English, not Italian. By this logic, the word "capo" in Italian is wrong, because the Latin word was "caput" and Italians twisted it into "capo". In English, it is pronounced "linguini" consistently because English is not Italian. As the article is in English, the English spelling and pronunciation are correct/acceptable.

Why Bobby Flay?

Why is an American hack like Bobby Flay being quoted in this article? Correct me if I'm wrong, but Linguine is Italian, not American! Can't we find a better quotation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.158.54.102 (talk) 11:27, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the "Reference" section of the article, you will see that there is an online source that points to an online article and Flay shows there. Next time you leave a comment, make sure you sign yourself like everybody does.

Maybe merge with Bavette?

Or else, differentiate content?

Correct origins

The Italian version of this article says that linguine is originally from Genova and not Campania: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguine.The source for this article is to be found online but I assume that the Italians know better about pasta even if they don't provide a source so I still believe linguine comes from Genova (unless otherwise proven). Some U.S. chefs don't know what they are talking about. In fact, there is a great tendency in the U.S. to link lots of Italian things to either Campania and Sicilia (which make only 1/10 of of regions of Italy). Chef Flay should probably point out the source of his information: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/10/05/earlyshow/contributors/bobbyflay/main2065103.shtml

For heavens sake...its a noodle!Logjam42 (talk) 18:52, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Where is it from??? I've found sources saying Campania or Liguria. I changed it so it just says Italy as no sources agree. Flalf (talk) 16:40, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
