The Annual Spaghetti Harvest

May 22, 2004

One of the great things about the Internet is that all kinds of quirky and specialized content is no more than a Google away. Consider the BBC’s April 1, 1957 broadcast of the bumper Swiss Spaghetti Harvest. My favorite line has to be, “The spaghetti harvest here in Switzerland is not, of course, carried out on anything like the tremendous scale of the Italian industry. Many of you, I’m sure will have seen pictures of the vast spaghetti plantations in the Po valley. For the Swiss, however, it tends to be more of a family affair.”
