Leave it to Koreans to do weird stuff to cones and pasta

pasta in a cone
Some time, maybe last year, maybe it was the year before that, we mentioned a curious way to make and eat pizza -- in a cone. We saw it first in Seoul, South Korea, and then saw that Crispy Cones was opening franchise location in the US.

Since pizza and pasta are never far from each other, it certainly makes sense that we'd see pasta in a cone!

Okay, it doesn't make sense at all, even if the pitch is that the cones makes eating pasta more convenient and portable. Pizza makes sense because the pizza cone is essentially a more formalized version of the way many people eat large slices of thin crust pizza -- folded up. Why on Earth would one put pasta in a waffle cone?!?! Even if it is technically portable, we can't imagine that all of the ingredients, particularly long strands of spaghetti come tumbling out of the cone once you take a bite.

Sure I'm not going to find an anchovies ice cream on a hamburger bun or Alfredo in a waffle cone here in Texas but hey they're not in Texas.

Americans conceive of, market, and eat all types of swill. It is one thing to point out the oddness of some food innovation, but I find your position ridiculous. I wonder if you have an issue with your Koreanness, if you are indeed Korean.
