What? Etta Candy and Little Lotta aren't in the running?

Jughead, no argument. Not only can he consume vast quantities, he is also a connoisseur who knows a good burger. I have the impression that Shaggy and Scooby would eat just any junk; they lack the necessary finesse to be considered royalty.

I say Jughead as well. He's the poster child for beef tapeworms... there's no other way he could be so skinny.

I'd go with Galactus....Jughead eats burgers but Galactus eats worlds.

What? Etta Candy and Little Lotta aren't in the running? Well, I know nothing about Lotta's eating habits, but Etta, based on the early WW stories I've read, seemed to *only* eat candy - she doesn't seem to be as omnivorous as Juggie or Shag and Scoob.

Spaghetti or Lasagna? Which One? Likes me some (as my nephew called it) Pasghetti, loaded with lots of cheeses (your choice) making it gooey deliciousness. Alternate when cooking it up with meatballs and crumbling up the browning meat. Prefer with a light touch of sauce, not drowning in it please. Maybe extra garlic one time, next add mushrooms another time onions another time just pasta with sauce. So many ways to enjoy...

Love them both so much, but I'll go with spaghetti. Loved it as a kid, still love it now - in all of its variations: the classic Bolognese, or with added ingredients like mushrooms, black olives, even hot peppers, and the vegetarian version as well (otherwise, though, I tend to prefer it without cheese). Also not bothered by the quantity of sauce, i.e., it can only have a smattering, or be swimming in it, doesn't matter. I'll clean up my plate and ask for more.

Has to be Spaghetti for me (and when I say "spaghetti", I include angel hair, fettucine, linguini, and the myriad of other individual pasta types out there, as they each serve a different, yet delicious, function). I've learned over the years how to do a large number of different things with pasta, be it a planned meal or just a "hey, I got some of this leftover and a little of that and a handful of those", and almost everything turns out well.
It's not that I don't like lasagna, but my mother made a very crappy version of it when we were growing up, and I think that is what turned me off to it. She made it how she liked it, but she has a dislike of cheese, so it was basically meat and a smattering of ricotta between the pasta strips, without the ooey-gooey drippy melty mozzerella that should have been holding it together like a little Italian brick. Couple that with her distaste for red sauce (she literally puts ONE tablespoon of red sauce on an entire plate of spaghetti to eat it) and it was about the most boring, bland, uninspiring lump of blah ever created. If we go to an Italian restaurant (which is rare, because I can do it better myself at home, and you'll NEVER catch me in a chain place like Olive Garden, which is just disgusting), I occasionally will get lasagna just because it's not a regular staple at our place.

Lasagna. Somehow it just always feels more like a meal to me. Maybe it's because the meat is an integral part of the dish, and not just dumped on top like spaghetti.

Spaghetti, absolutely swimming in meat sauce, and preferably with a giant meat ball as well. Remember... the pasta is only the delivery vehicle... the flavor is in the sauce.

Lasagna if there's time to do it right, spaghetti remains to me the quick and cheap alternative we had when we couldn't really afford much grocery wise when I was a kid. I like both, but spaghetti was always everyday fare while lasagna was an occasion, so to speak, and so I go with the fare for the special occasion if I have to make a choice.

@mrp said it best. Lasagna if there's time to do it right, but spaghetti most of the time.

I'll default to spaghetti. I like the idea of lasagna better than the general reality of lasagna. Not that I don't like it, but I generally find that it just isn't as good as I want it to be. I'm sure it's just great if and when it's cooked right, but that's just not something that I've experienced very often. There are perishingly few Italian restaurants in Idaho (outside of Boise) and on the occasion that I'm at one I always find something I'm more interested in than lasagna.
Spaghetti is pretty easy to not mess up.

Lasagna wins this one pretty easily for me, even though I do like spaghetti too, if the sauce is thick and meaty the way I prefer it. But lasagna is probably one of my favourite dishes, period, so it gets the nod.
