Pasta Shasta

So the other day I threw a "Pasta-tantrum" and my mom bought me all kinds of pastas.

One of those boxes had a picture of what looked like a plate full of biryani and I was obviously surprised. A billion questions rushed into my head. Why is there a picture of biryani on this box of pasta? Does this box have biryani in it? If it has a plate full of biryani why does it feel so light? Does this box have specially-modified-rice in it? Did I throw a rice-tantrum today? Obviously not so what is this rice-related box doing here? Should I kill the ant creeping up my hand or should I just shrug it off? Why are the mosquitoes today so retardedly huge? Are they a mutation released upon the present human race by aliens to gradually finish us off so they can take over our planet and utilize its resources to breed their young ones which grow in little mechanical uteri? Mechanical uteri. I wonder how those would work.

As I looked for answers in that box, my mind was shitted upon.

It was pasta. RICE-shaped-pasta.

Seriously. What is up with the rice shaped pasta? Here is a random idea. If you want to eat something rice shaped, how about you eat RICE? But I don't know. That sounds like an obviously retarded suggestion. I mean who eats rice when they want to eat something rice shaped? It's too main-steam.

What exactly was the manufacturer's dilemma? They wanted to fulfil the demands of customers who liked being conned into thinking that they are eating rice?

What exactly could it be used for? Maybe you could plan an elaborate revenge on those fat judgemental aunties? You call them over for a grand dinner. Got everything on your table but the main course is biryani. Aunties sit. Aunties load up their plates full of promising rice-y goodness. Insert first bite. BAM! IT'S NOT BIRYANI! Aunties' mind shitted upon. Not so judgemental now right? WRONG! They judge your rice for tasting like pasta.

It's completely silly.

P.S: All insults aside, it's actually fun to eat rice shaped pasta. They feel like little drops of stuff-that-pasta-is-made-from which slip around in your mouth as you try to chew on them (slippery little suckers). It's like little partay in yo’ mouth with your food jumping here and there spreading taste all over turning it into a fiesta of taste.


P.S.S: I would like to apologize for using the term "fiesta of taste". No one talks like that without exaggerated facial expressions and hand movements to go with it.
