I have not noticed any degradation but it usually does not stay there
that long. I like spaghetti, it is my comfort food,
I like Angel Hair spaghetti, and when the stores have it, the spinach-based spaghetti.
Mrs. F, our Italian neighbor, loved to cook. I'm sure she froze some
things she cooked, but I was in her kitchen a lot, and I never saw her
take anything our of the freezer except an ice cube tray.
When we were kids, there was too small a freezer in most kitchens to freeze
any large amount of stuff. We were just discussing this last week. There
were cold storage lockers. You could rent one and store your half side of
beef etc. my mom was Midwestern and we had lots of chuck roast and baked
potatoes. Lived in a rooming house in Dayton, OH for a few months.
Italian mother from the old country. She would invite us for Sunday dinner
at times. He son, could get the spoon and fork working together and finish
the whole plate of paste while I am still on the first quarter, trying
to,deal with the long strings. Her son hunted squirrels and she would do a
cachatore with them that was superb.
