Question for Pastafarians.

[Ladyhawk]

I am a new convert to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (blessed be his Holy Meatballs) and I am wondering if there are any dogmatic dietary restrictions in fundamentalist Pastafarianism. Am I encouraged or discouraged from eating pasta, and is so, when should I eat or not eat pasta? Is okay--or not okay--to eat pasta after the sun goes down? Am I allowed--or not allowed--to eat pasta on Fridays? Is there such a thing as kosher pasta and if so, where can I order it?

In his Noodly Name,

Ladyhawk

1. Enjoy pasta whenever, wherever.

Every Friday is a religious holiday, so I would say you should make a special point to honor His Noodliness by eating pasta on Fridays. All pasta is kosher. I have spoken!

2. Thank you. This question was keeping me up nights.

I was touched by His Noodly Appendage.

4. You're most welcome,

my child. :D

3. Also, how do I formally join the church? n/t

5. By declaring yourself Pastafarian, you have joined the church

If, however, you wish to be baptized, go boil a bowl of pasta, cool it enough so you won't get burned by touching it, then dump it on your head. Post pics on DU if at all possible!

6. Are there pictures of Pastafarian baptism I can peruse?

I want to make sure I get it just right. ;)

They're of babies, but I'm sure you can successfully adapt the ceremony for yourself.

9. Be suspicious of those new mechanical spaghetti twirling forks.

...well thats what I always say, besides the old ways are always best. I may not be a Pastafarian but I know a bad design when I see it.

10. I do believe that the pasta would be kosher

however be sure to use real Parmesan cheese...

11. Wednesday is our Sabbath

"Around 1953, Mr. Pellegrino hired the advertising firm of Jerome O'Leary of Boston where they created the famous slogan "Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti Day." This was an attempt to introduce non-Italians to pasta products.

One fall afternoon in 1969, 12-year-old Anthony Martignetti was standing on a street corner near his family's North End home when he was approached by two men who were filming a commercial for Prince spaghetti. The camera followed Anthony as he ran through the narrow alleyways that were so familiar to him. By the end of the day, a legend was born.

There are few who watched television in New England in the 1970s who do not remember the familiar refrain of a woman peering out a tenement window, yelling for Anthony to come home for a supper of Prince spaghetti."

To honor the early teachings of young Disciple Anthony Martignetti, at the beginning of the service the Pastafarian Priest will intone "ANTHONY-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y" in remembrance of the Holy Mother Martignelli's call for her son.

May the Sauce be with you.

13. I was born loving Pasta, Pasta is for me!

So yes I am a Pastafarian too.

Nothing tastes as good as Sphagetti with Ragu!
