That is a genuinely bad story. While I love the idea of having a section where people can view the runners up, we need to have a bit more quality control on it. And even then, that's fleeting. If we had a page where we could just have a list like I said, every year or every 6 months rotate 10 pastas or so out, I mean we're already talking about doing workshops and review teams, we could do a sort of PotM type-thing where we get our review team to objectively pick the 20 absolute best over a period of 6 months, then have the community cast their votes for the 10 best out of those ones.

Maybe that's also a bad idea.

I'm going to exercise a bit more caution when selecting which PotM nominees even get to the polls in the first place from now on, in no small part because that Origins of Mickey pasta almost won last month. Still, that doesn't change the fact that each Pasta of the Month is decided based on a a 15-day poll. Not exactly the most reliable system.
