    Oh man, my local shop sells these as “makkaroni” and I was so confused, because I knew those to be a different shape. Now I just checked Wikipedia and it literally has a heading like:

    “Makkaroni” in Germany

    And it says that apparently we refer to any longer, straight, tube-shaped pasta as “makkaroni”. I guess, it’s alright that we don’t use the Italian spelling after all. 🫠
