I've just measured our spaghetti and it is 20 inches long.
We keep it in a glass spaghetti jar sold to hold - spaghetti!
That's 50 centimetres...
It comes wrapped in thick black paper.
It must be made for the UK. It is not sold in the U.S. I am a chef and I have never , ever seen such. Nor can I find it located on any list of pastas.
Please post a photo of this stuff.
Yes, Absolutely. I have been cooking in restaurants and hotels since I was 17 years old. First started my internship in the New Orleans French Quarter. But I started novice cooking at age 9 or 10. So, what's that... 64 years of experience cooking ?

we used to have one of those long jars (until the cat knocked it over) The spaghetti just about fitted with the lid on.
Traditionally, most spaghetti was 50 cm (20 in) long, but shorter lengths gained in popularity during the latter half of the 20th century and now spaghetti is most commonly available in 25–30 cm (10–12 in) lengths.
