Useless fact!

From factacular.com:

"Strozzapreti means An Attractive, Tubular and Twisted Pasta. Meaning "priest stranglers" -so named according to legend, by restaurant owners who could not charge priests and wished they would choke on the pasta dish before reaching the expensive meat or fish course!"

It made me chuckle, I could just imagine Italian restaurant owners saying "Please choke, please choke!"
