Pasta Pet Peeve: Sinner's Disgust at Monk's Pasta Habit
30 Jan
Summary
- Jannik Sinner expressed disgust at Sophie Monk's pasta preparation.
- Monk admitted to breaking spaghetti into three pieces before cooking.
- Only 37 percent of Australians break pasta before boiling it.

Italian tennis sensation Jannik Sinner recently experienced a moment of culinary shock during his appearance on Andy Lee's game show, 'The Hundred.' The popular segment involves contestants guessing the percentage of Australians who engage in specific habits. Sinner, accustomed to Italian traditions, was particularly taken aback when the topic of breaking spaghetti before boiling it was raised.
Australian presenter Sophie Monk, also a guest, readily admitted to the practice, going so far as to say she often breaks pasta into three pieces. This confession deeply unsettled Sinner, who represents a culture where such an act is considered a culinary sin. His reaction was one of visible dismay.
When asked to estimate the prevalence of this habit among Australians, Monk suggested a high figure, while Sinner offered a more conservative guess. The revelation that only 37 percent of Australians actually break their pasta before cooking provided a surprising conclusion to the segment.
