Spaghetti junction
A spaghetti junction is a type of intersection. It is often used on freeways. They are designed as massive eyesores and come in a variety of flavours. Designing a spaghetti junction is a very delicate process done by highly trained engineers. Like most construction projects, they are designed for maximum confusion and ugliness. First, they lay out a paper map of the area where the spaghetti junction going to be located, then they cook up some pasta and unceremoniously dump it all over the page. Et voila!
Flavours[edit | edit source]
Cloverleaf[edit | edit source]
A traditional recipe, made with cloverleaf, leftover tuna, and Campbell's Mushroom Soup.
Partial Cloverleaf[edit | edit source]
Used when the rest of the leftover tuna has been used on a regular cloverleaf and the engineers are too lazy to get more.
Texas Style[edit | edit source]
Just smother it in BBQ sauce.
History[edit | edit source]
The first spaghetti junction was designed in Italy by an Italian chef to show his love of pasta. A full-scale model was eventually built on a road called Pasta Way. The chef passed away soon after. Since then, spaghetti junctions have become one of the most popular methods of uglifying cities. Like most Italian things, they have become very American and now dominate the entire world (but mostly in America).
