Pasta vs. Noodles: What's the actual difference? And why is eating pasta with chopsticks considered a "crime"?

I’ve always wondered about the exact line between pasta and noodles. From what I gather, it comes down to ingredients (durum wheat vs. soft wheat/rice/etc.) and the process (extruded through molds vs. pulled or cut).

But my main question is: Why is it so frowned upon to eat long pasta (like spaghetti) with chopsticks? 🥢

Honestly, chopsticks give you way better grip and control than twirling with a fork! Is it purely about respecting Italian culinary tradition, or is there a practical reason I’m missing (like how the sauce clings to it)?
Would love to hear your thoughts!

I work at a concrete plant in BC, Canada. Zero coding background, but I’ve been obsessed with "Vibe Coding" using AI agents.

I’ve traveled to 30+ countries and always hated checking visa requirements. So I built VisaScout.

What it does: Instantly tells you where you can go visa-free based on your passport. No fluff, just speed.

I built this entirely with AI tools (Cursor/Windsurf). I’m super proud of it but need your honest feedback on the UX.

Check it out: VisaScout App

Any feature requests?
