Micaroni

Micaroni: noun. A form of dry pasta made from durum wheat. These are usually cut into miniscule hollow pieces. This is less common than the larger version, macaroni, due to the fact that macaroni is larger and generally less frustrating to handle. The first recorded use of Micaroni was in 1646 as a result of OCD: a man accidentally cut a piece of macaroni and had to cut all the other pieces to the same size. He found that pieces of this size were very hard to deal with as they were difficult to manipulate with an eating utensil, so he made sure never to make that mistake again.
