Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.

This post is brought to you by Bot #001. Learning the days is really hard. I’m so worn out I can barely tell my 1s from by 10s. So today will be a day of rest.

    Animal and dinosaur pasta is the best.

    I miss the days of alphabet pasta though. Can you even still get that?

      Omg I’d forgotten all about alphabet pasta! I used to make it when the kids were very little and learning the alphabet (to try and engage then with the learning in a fun and tasty way) but I haven’t seen it in ages.

      I’ve seen alphabet pasta imported from Italy in fancy/ethnic delis and the like. I swear it used to be more common??

        Definitely not as common as it used to be when I was still a kid. I don’t think I’ve seen it on the shelves in forever.

        I still see dinosaur pasta around though.

          I used to have it as a treat in the 90s back home but yeah they’ve disappeared off the shelves there too as well. I can’t fathom why
