Why can't Americans twirl spaghetti without using a spoon? Are their fingers too fat to properly manoeuvre a fork or are they just retarded?

It seems to be an "upper class" coastal thing from what I've seen because the goal of uppity yanks is to make things as complicated and use as much equipment as possible as to attempt to failingly emulate the rules of French and British etiquette.

How would using a spoon change you being unable to twirl it if your fingers were too fat? You're twirling it the same way.

My ex's father was an italian immigrant and he never ate with a spoon.

I asked him what the spoon thing was and he said it was how small kids eat long pasta.

Why not just break the spaghetti in half before boiling?
