Am I the only one who can't get ZITI?
This is totally not a big deal, because I seldom use tube-shaped pastas, and if I really needed it, I could just order some. Nevertheless, I think it's really weird, and I am totally curious (a characteristic of mine that's bound to kill me someday)... ziti seems like such a commonly specified pasta in recipes, and I just can't figure out why it's not around here. Similar shapes that are readily available in virtually every market in my area are penne, penne rigate and mostaciolli, and I can get each of them in a variety of diameters and lengths. But for the life of me, I cannot find ziti at any of my local markets. None. Zilch. Nada.
What do you think? Are there certain pasta shapes you can't find either? Do some shapes enjoy more popularity in some regions than others?
