Never. Only a neandrathal would do such a thing.
Discuss.
I was going to agree but then I remembered that if I add it to a soup, then yes, I break it up into little bits.
Otherwise, no. You can play with it better if it’s whole.
You can always tell people who secretly break their spaghetti and lie about it by how they misspell “Neanderthal.”
Yes, because it won’t fit in the pan otherwise.

Always. And what’s worse, I cut through it with knife and fork before eating. I’m sorry. I realize that makes me a Neanderthal, but I freely admit it. Being able to eat my spaghetti cleanly and neatly instead of worrying about wearing it on my blouse is part of the enjoyment for me.

wow…thats worse than Neanderthal…thats plain American!!!
Who would break spaghetti would treat the wind as well.

Ugh. Me break noodles. Me also use Ragu.
When met wife, me bash her on head, drag back to cave for pasta.
First date not go well. Served only White Zinfandel. She not want to
get Mesolithic that night.
(The above post is not true, BTW. I hate white zinfandel.)
Is this a fart joke?
A single break in the middle of the bundle is, in my opinion, very chic.

Generally I am overruled and forced to cook shells or rotini or penne, despite my personal preference for messy, strandy, tangly, uncut spaghetti. So it doesn’t come up as an issue.
As well you should. 
You spaghetti breakers and cutters don’t know what you’re missing out on. If you hold one end and swallow the unbroken strand (al dente is best for durability, here), you can pull it out and let your throat re-swallow it. Repeat until your fellow diners kill you.
Anybody have any suggestions on how I get this picture out of my head?

A bottle of that delightful White Zinfandel should help! glug
Just like you, Alan, you lush! What’s next the lampshade??
Instead of a bottle, how about a jug? I went to a local wine store about a year ago to get a bottle of my favorite Cavet pinot grigio, which I always thought was a decent wine. Looked all over and finally found it in “Jug Wines.” I bought it but found myself embarrassed, explaining to the clerk, and hoping my hound dog wasn’t howling out in the pickup truck.

Bottles of wine, standard size, should be < $12, preferably < $9, and have pretty labels.
Then of course there’s the old trick of running the loop of spaghetti in the mouth and out the nose (or is it the other way round?). That works best with unbroken noodles (sorry Susan).
I’ve seen this done a few times. I’m thinking it originated in acient Rome…immediatley prior to the invention of the vomitorium.
