I know it's not wagon wheels (that's rotelli, IIRC) but beyond that I have no idea - how many different types of pasta are there, anyway? I'd ATA and hope there's a big Italian contingent in the audience.

I dunno what Europe is, but I do know the other three are it for their continents. Some locals climbed Aconcagua a few years ago -- quite an adventure.
