Mark Tewsbury looks Italian. What was that recent American swimmer's name that won so many gold medals at the Beijing olympics he put all other swimmers to shame? Somone know? His diet consisted of a kilo of pasta a day, and a large pizza as a midnight snack. Not a joke.
Spaghetti, or strips of pasta as we know it in the Western world was invented by an Arab in Sicily during the late middle ages. It is assumed, though no one I know is certain, if he got his idea as a traveller from the Chinese along the silk road when it was a major thorough fare for trade during the era of Marco Polo and other explorers. Actual pasta as we know it in Australia, Canada, The Americas and the rest of the globe was invented by an Italian.
Guess what folks. This video is full of misinformation. I had to stop watching it. I find no problem with Mark. He just read his script. There is ample evidence that pasta was consumed in Italy, Greece and elswhere at least 1000 years before Marco Polo returned from China. Also the video says the pasta dries for 14 or 15 hrs. Pasta can be dried for up to 40 hours depending on the shape and drying process.
Why can't we keep the discusion civil and not call people names? Any questions?
Hey. Ignoramus's. That's Mark Tewksbury, Canadian Gold Medal swimmer. He pronounces 'Pasta' correctly, thank-you very much. It's you South North Americans who pronounce it incorrectly.... "Paw-sta" is, frankly, offensive.
This guy needs to learn how to pronounce 'pasta' so it doesn't sound like PASSta! I mean really.....right?!:-P FYI--'m Italian, and I know my pasta, and LOVE IT!:-D
@11weeee Fucking retard, my gpa is 4.2 you don't know shit. you sound more like a redneck dumbass trolling on my comment when it was obviously a joke.
don't mess with wrong infos! Chinese pasta has ever been different than our, they didn't have the right ingredients, we reinvented this kind of food, and semolino is actually not present in our ingredients... and pls stop saying that pasta is fron Europe, nothing so wrong! Ok, maybe we weren't the first, but who cares, real pasta and food like that is our.
If it is supposed to be pronounced "Pahsta" or "Posta" it would be spelled as such. We don't pronounce "past" and "fast" like "pahst" and "fahst". Learn how to pronounce your own language... silly Americans.
@motocrossisrelign63 If we are supposed to pronounce words as they are spelled and vice versa, why isn't "would" spelled as phonetically as "wood"? Or how come the "ou" pair in "pronounce" and "would" aren't pronounced the the same? Learn the complexities of the language.... silly.. whoever you are.
No, he pronounced it right. He's Canadian and possibly from Montreal, since that is from where the show began.
Seeing how pasta is mostly in seen in Italian restaurants and we have (obviously) more of a European culture than the Americans, then we pronounce it similarly to how the Italians do.
If you wanna start pronouncing it like the Chinese, then you might get it better.... but in the meantime, it's PAsta.
Again, I'll have to disagree with you and and probably call you a liar. You're just hearing it wrong.
Bravo that you "go to Italy every summer", but I live about 2 hours away from Italy and I never heard an Italian nor anyone else in Europe pronounce it PAW-sta.
@clfcr The computer no, but the internet, absolutely. But there are a lot of misunderstanding with inventions. People often remember the wrong parts of inventions. Most people thing Henry Ford invented the car. He didn't invent the car or the assembly line, but he was the first to put those two things together. However he did invent the garage door. Lots of people could claim to have invented the Internet (not Al Gore), but Hedy Lamar has a legit claim to that one.
@SuperFablefreak Alabama is 2nd, Mississippi is #1 for the last 6 years in a row. We're number One! Yay! :) Colorado is dead last. Those poor folks just don't have good BBQ.
If you check The Second Edition of the New Oxford American Dictionary, you'll see that "Pasta" is composed of the syllables "PAS - TA," not "PA - STA." Therefore, the proper pronunciation is PAWS-TAH.
@Marknopfler88 I love Italy and Italians! They do everything right there. They make the best pasta in the world. Too bad I've never traveled there. I wish all the time to be able to go there. You are so awesome!

"who would guess China invented the noodle". goddamn! people think europeans invented everything! im in AP world history, and its fascinating! china is the oldest civilization in the world, and have invented sooooo many things. europe was behind china for thousands of years.
@Hypnotized81 by civilization, i mean a society that has both grown, prospered, and remained so. china is certaintly the oldest civilization by those views
@longfootbuddy indeed i do because the people who write them (at least the AP texts) are absolutley brilliant, and all the information has either been proven or concluded from years of research and close observation and historical artifacts and references, and it all seems to make sense and add up so their conclusions on history must be pretty spot on. so i do believe whats written in the textbooks. do i always like it? no. but i nearly always believe what they say. theres nothing wrong with it
@gymnast768 And guess who discovered america before europeans? China... And after them? Vikings... And after them? Europeans... (and yeah, I'm from Europe)... :D
@gymnast768 it's not true, china made spaghetti with rice, not with wheat... rice spaghetti are cooked in a different way, they have nothing to share with italian spaghetti, they share only the shape, but rice spaghetti and wheat spaghetti are similar like a rope and a snake are
@Marknopfler88 Northern China used wheat to make noodles. Wheat and egg. Southern China made noodles out of rice because rice grows easily in the South while wheat grows predominantly in the North. Even in cuisine, a lot of the mantou and staples of Northern Chinese involve wheat. That is also what the Mongolians were introduced in the North and it is probably that Marco Polo did in fact had wheat-noodles and I would surprised if he also had rice noodles.
@andrewfyip that's true, but i only wanted to say that in Italy we had an independent development of pasta and spaghetti, not a follower of China tradition. The way of baking and cooking of chinese and italian pasta is very different, and pasta was eaten MUCH before Marco Polo returned in Venice. It's just a legend that Marco Polo brought back pasta from China; remember that pasta is more eaten in the South than in the North, where Venice is. But the real deep tradition of pasta is in the South
@Marknopfler88 I just wanted to give that little cultural lesson. The whole story of pasta from China to Italy is pretty much a legend and for those who can't find a difference between Italian pasta and Chinese mian...well, they're no foodie. :) Cultures develop differently and pasta is no exception!
@Marknopfler88 Let me guess, you are employed for a major pasta manufacturer in Italy. And you are right if you work for a pasta manufacturer that pasta has many origins.
@Johnnystrychnine no, i simply like History and Gastronomy. And i laugh if I read that a mistical Arab man inventend pasta in a magical, defined moment. How can there be a unique origin of a food made by only two, simple ingredients?
Marco Polo did not bring pasta to Italy. Italians already had a name for pasta. In fact, when Marco Polo describe the chinese counterpart, he calls it pasta. Pasta in its nearly modern form came from the Arabs a couple of hundred years before.
It's funny how these labeled with Italian flag and Italian wording (at 5:00) while made in Canada.... I guess you won't know the difference until you taste them (or until you taste real Italian pasta)

Marco Polo did not bring pasta to Italy. Italians already had a name for pasta. In fact, when Marco Polo describe the chinese counterpart, he calls it pasta. Pasta in its nearly modern form came from the Arabs a couple of hundred years before.

It's funny how these labeled with Italian flag and Italian wording (at 5:00) while made in Canada.... I guess you won't know the difference until you taste them (or until you taste real Italian pasta)

It's pronounced "paw-sta, naw-pa-lees." I don't see why you feel the need to redub how its made!

@SillyBinBin Yup! Then Marco Polo nabbed it and passed it off as an Italian invention. Silly Marco Polo :)
