How to grow spaghetti
The Swiss Spaghetti documentary created enormous interest. Hundreds of people phoned the BBC. 'How can I grow spaghetti ?' they asked.
An official BBC replied: “Place some cooked spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce. Leave the tin on your window the 1st of April”.
Did this really happen?
Yes - the BBC did show this documentary - on April Fool's Day! But spaghetti - like money - does not grow on trees.
