Les Mis characters as pasta types/shapes
Disclaimer: Not Italian, not a chef, just a girl who's procrastinating way too hard on her assignments right now.
One can also blame @combeferres-mothematics for starting this train of thought...
Myriel: Cappelletti, really only bc they look like little bishop hats to me.
Valjean: Spaghetti. A classic, everyman pasta to suit his average, everyman name/persona.
Fantine: Mafaldine, also known as Riccia. Looks like an unfurled ribbon, named after Princess Mafalda. Reminds me of Fantine's curly golden hair (Riccia, too, means curly!)
Cosette: Orecchiette. The "little ears" pasta, to match her nickname "little thing".
Javert: Penne lisce. Commonly disliked because its been too smoothed out and can't hold onto sauces as such. Would be much better if it still retained its rough edges like the penne rigate. (Penne is one of my favourite pastas so don't kill me Javert lovers)
Marius: Elbow Macaroni. A little goofy, but like Valjean, its very much a classic, everyman pasta. Suits his self/reader-insert persona.
Enjolras: Angel hair. Sorry this was too easy to not grab at it.
Grantaire: Lasagna, solely because he's very Garfield-core to me
Bonus:
All of Les Amis de l'ABC: Alphabet Spaghetti. They're friends of the ABC after all!
Tholomyès: Dick pasta. Quite literally self-explanatory. Idea courtesy of @calico-cows .
Part 2 coming soon.....?
