No.
And I don't eat meatball spaghetti either.
Meatballs is a main course ("secondo"), spaghetti is a first course ("primo")

As a famous brand of pasta put it in an ad campaing: "every 7 minutes spaghetti are served as a side dish somewhere in the world"

Barilla.

Very, very good!

Do they wear combat boots with their skirts?
Seems tacky to me, but I do not judge.

For some reason, unknown to me, La Marseillaise is very much so stuck in my head...

I've worn combat boots with my kilt in the winter.

I would like a Baker too, but I am a lefty and flintlocks are not a lot of fun for me to shoot. The flash pan igniting in my face is not a lot of fun. Percussion cap rifles are manageable with glasses on, but the deflected burning powder does tend to bury itself in my right arm if I am not wearing a long sleeve shirt.

I have a left handed Walther 32 auto pistol. My dad carried it when he was a truck driver, and gave it to me after a stroke ended his driving days. He had kept it in the doghouse in his truck. Not a good place for a gun. It was rusty.

I took it to a gunsmith to get cleaned up and re-blued. The gunsmith asked if I was left handed, I asked why and he pointed out the breech was on the left side.

Told my dad, and he shrugged it off.
