Lame as spaghetti comes in different diameters so would pack differently and have different cross sectional volume and mass. Perhaps the spoons came from a town with one size of noddles.

Right, but the amount a person receives would be the same. Whether it's lots of thin strands, or one very thick strand, it's still a portion. I have a plastic device with holes in it for one, two, three, or four people.

I've wanted one of these measures for a while now. Metric or imperial. The freight would kill the deal, I'll make one in timber.

Jerry, it is to measure the amount for a serving. Open the package of uncooked spaghetti, take a portion, push it through the hole. What just fits is approximately one serving.

They're a waste of time if you're making more than one portion. Unless you cook each person's individually, it all goes in the same pot and once it does, the portion size is eyeballed when served. Weighing each portion after cooking would mean equal servings, but it would also mean cold spaghetti. Open box, put in pot, cook, eat.

Somebody isn't aware that a sentence should never end with a preposition.

i wouldn't buy a pasta spoon with a hole in it, cause your gonna pay 4 bucks extra for the goofy thing. Thats why the good lord gave me 2 hands, one to measure one to stir. And the 3rd, well to shovel pasta into my pie hole!! Just my humble opinion :)
