The Twits Spaghetti Recipe

Did you love reading Roald Dahl as a child? To be honest, we still pour over The Twits and The BFG once in a while; Dahl can create a fictional world like no other.The Twits Spaghetti Recipe 

The Twits

The Twits, an amusing and often disgusting story about the hatred between a husband and wife and the pranks that they play on each other is one of our favourite Roald Dahl’s.

Both The Twits are grotesque characters that spend their days plotting about how to make each other miserable.

The Wormy Spaghetti

One trick that Mrs Twit plays on Mr Twit, as revenge for a previous prank he played on her, is The Wormy Spaghetti prank. She mixes some garden worms into spaghetti she has made and serves the dish to Mr Twit, convincing him that the spaghetti tastes funny because “it’s a new kind.” When he’s done eating, she tells him that there were worms in the spaghetti.

Our Wormy Spaghetti

As a tribute to the Twits, we’re sharing a wormy spaghetti recipe from ‘Dahl’s Revolting Recipes’ for you to try at a Roald Dahl themed party or simply as a prank. Have no fear; there are no real worms in this spaghetti; just a delicious combination different types of spaghetti.
