The Classic FM Pasta Test

[Zucchini]

Are these words composers or types of pasta?

(And which musician, cook, radio/tv presenter would be most likely to get a perfect score?)

[french frank]

Have to give it to them - they do try to liven things up a bit

[Petrushka]

I got 10 right.

[Beef Oven!]

I got 12 right and three wrong. Being half Italian and brought up on Italian food, I might have done better. But to be fair, there's almost countless different types of pasta and even some Italians won't know of them all.

[cloughie]

I managed 11!

[AmpH]

I got 8 and I'm surprised it was that many - I hate pasta !

I got 12 right and three wrong.

Anch'io!

[Beef Oven!]

Anch'io!

Proves my point!

[Beef Oven!]

I got 8 and I'm surprised it was that many - I hate pasta !

Some out there got more, and they hate Italian composers!

[Serial_Apologist]

It's got pasta joke.

[teamsaint]

The most likely person to get them all right would be the presenter of a new CFM late evening Italian music show, Spaghetti Junction.

( did this a few years ago, and got some right and some wrong. Ah well, works for politicians' decision making.......)

[LMcD]

Perhaps some of these dishes might be a suitable accompaniment to Vivaldi's La Pastarella.....

[Lat-Literal]

An imperfect 10.

[Richard Tarleton]

I got 12 right and three wrong.

So did I. A certain amount of inspired guesswork on my part. Piccini, Piccinini......

I did get 11 - but made a mistake with Pizzetti who I made a pun about on this forum only days ago Mental aberration confusing Pizzetti with Pizzette (edible but not pasta)
