When it comes to holiday celebrations & social occasions, it’s all about the food. In fact, the response to, “Will there be food?” probably determines over 90% of my decisions to go (or not go) somewhere.

As an Italian, food is a form of love in my family- and family gatherings have a LOT of love. With mandatory seconds, and thirds, several rounds of dessert, & a Tupperware container of food to take home.

So when a food crisis occurs –perhaps the accidental destruction of a lasagna, let’s say– I feel the ache of that loss. Lasagna preparation is a commitment, people. It’s culinary multitasking- layers of sauce, pasta, cheeses, meat & spices artistically woven together.

All that time, love, & effort instantly rendered inedible before being eaten is a tragic fate.

Unless, of course, there isn’t cheese, & it’s not actually a lasagna. A pasta dish called by any other name is (like lasagna) … an abomination. And Twitter thinks so, too.

One woman’s Twitter post lamenting the loss of her carefully prepared “lasagna” in a driving mishap has gone viral because Twitter has major issues with her definition of LASAGNA.

Ava, otherwise known as Twitter user @Fentyyonce, was likely on her way to a special event when the alleged “lasagna loss” occurred.

(And she’s not the only one, apparently- several Twitter accounts have shared the pic of this alleged mishap, so clearly there is a conspiracy against lasagna that’s brewing on Twitter.)

The meal she supposedly prepared was packed in a covered aluminum tray. The tray was parked on the front seat of her car… well, originally it was, but some sort of emergency braking issue left a good portion of the meal on the car’s seat & floor.

We’ve all been there; a quick slam on the brakes has resulted in countless coffee tsunamis, rivers of Diet Coke, & showers of a large order of French fries like a potato confetti parade.

But in this case, the cost was far higher. The homemade “lasagna” was a tragic victim, & she shared a pic of the culinary carnage, along with the caption:

I dropped the lasagna in the car. Pray for me pleaseeee

Oh, I feel you, girl! A lost lasagna is sheer devastation, a cheese catastrophe, a–

*views pic*

HOLD UP. What the WHAT???

While I feel for Ava -food spillage of ANY kind in your car is simply the worst– that is NOT a lasagna, and calling it so is a crime against humanity.

(Or a crime against genuine lasagna, anyway.)

While I was initially concerned about the chain of events that led to the food fracas, the sight of this so-called lasagna left me with so.many.questions.

Namely:

Why does she call this lasagna?

Who hurt Ava, deceiving her into believing that this is lasagna? Where’s the cheese? Why are there edamame?

If she doesn’t know that this is spaghetti… what does she think SPAGHETTI is? WHERE IS THE CHEESE??

Twitter was equally perplexed by this bizarre pasta misnomer. And in classic Twitter fashion, they quickly shared their opinion on this “lasagna’s” demise.

Like myself, many people checked out Ava’s pic looking for the lasagna… and didn’t find it, of course:

LASAGNA? Where? Twitter can’t find it, either, & they’re looking. Hard.

(And if you’re waiting & waiting for the gif to load- it won’t. That’s the point. Just like looking for lasagna here, you’ll keep looking, & looking, & looking… and….)

Calling those pasta remnants “lasagna” is a personal affront to the good Lord, who blessed Italians with the ability to blend cheese, tomatoes, & sheets of pasta into the heavenly ambrosia known as lasagna.

So it stands to reason that:

And while we’re petitioning the Man Upstairs on this matter, a few prayers for the party-goers that were awaiting this “lasagna”:

 

Others were wondering about how the speed of the impact could have affected this… whatever this is.

Or perhaps this wasn’t an accident, but a crime…?

 

Well, 2020 IS an odd year, so maybe it’s fitting, right?

 Some people were sympathetic, however, having experienced a similar “lasagna” mishap:

…or a similar “pasta problem”:

 The debate over lasagna linguistics quickly spiraled into a worldwide dilemma. (aka: “the Italians caught wind of it and are PISSED.”)

 

 

My translation: “All of Italy deems this pasta dish not only as an affront to our beloved lasagna, but to precious spaghetti too, which was never meant to end up paired with edamame, or on the front seat of your car.”

But calm down, pasta protestors; Ava knows that her dish isn’t really lasagna. In response to the blizzard of tweets about her dropped dish, she tweeted:

OHHH. Well, now it makes total sense. Of course. That cleared things up, didn’t it???

But despite the criticism, some followers have admired her “lasagna” enough to make their own version at home:

Any kind of vehicular pasta spill in painful, lasagna or otherwise. But with 85K likes and 24.3K quotes tweets in a single day, one thing is clear: words matter on Twitter. At least, words defining precise pasta terms, that is.

I wholeheartedly agree; this is definitely NOT lasagna, but it indeed is hilarious, & made the day of many, many pasta lovers around the globe. While we may never know the real identity of the spilled spaghetti incident, one thing’s for sure: a pasta dish any other name is definitely NOT lasagna!
