Table Etiquette: How To Eat Spaghetti (VIDEO)

Learn to do it as an Italian would.

Unless you were born deep in the heart of Italy, cradled in a blanket of pasta, knowing how to gracefully eat a bowl of spaghetti is a skill you have to learn. And it isn't one that necessarily comes easily.

Watch the video above, brought to us by "Fine Dining Lovers" and learn how to devour a bowl of pasta with skill and finesse -- just like an Italian child would.
