Wait, is “throw spaghetti against a wall and see if it sticks” something you Americans actually say? (I hope not actually do.) I always thought it was something we Italians made up to mock Americans for eating overcooked pasta.
Hahaha, it’s not a common phrase but I have heard it. I’ve read exactly one cookbook that recommended it as a done-ness test (I read a lot of cookbooks) but that was a cookbook for kids and probably trying to make cooking more fun, I really don’t think virtually anybody does it on the regular.

Yes, but I would guess I hear the variant “throw it against the wall and see what sticks” like 30x (or more) more often.

I wouldn’t consider it a common phrase, but I also wouldn’t be surprised at all to hear someone say it given a sensible context.
