History of Noodles Print E-mail
Who created the first noodle? The Chinese, Arabs and Italians have all laid claim but the earliest record appears in a book written between AD 25 and 220 in China.
Noodles have been a staple food in many parts of the world for at least 2000 years, but in 2005 the oldest noodles ever found, were discovered inside an overturned sealed bowl buried under three metres of sediment in Qinghai, northwest China. Scientists determined the 4,000 year old, long, thin yellow noodles were made from broomcorn millet and foxtail millet and show a fairly high level of food processing and culinary sophistication.
A noodle includes all varieties from all origins, but wherever they originated, noodles have maintained their popularity over the centuries and owe their longevity to a combination of being relatively cheap yet nutritious and filling, quick to prepare, can be eaten hot or cold, can be stored for years and can be transported easily.
The Traditional Japanese diet included huge amounts of rice. Even today A small bowl of rice is served with almost every meal, including breakfast. Originally from China, noodles have become an essential part of Japanese cuisine, usually as an alternative to a rice-based meal. Soba, thin brown noodles made from buckwheat, and udon, thick wheat noodles, are the traditional noodles, served hot or cold with soy-dashi flavourings. Another popular Chinese wheat noodle, Ramen, is served hot in a meat stock broth

LOS of course told them not to come
Asians started it with rice (amongst other grains), others with grain, lacking rice.
The story of Marco Polo bringing pasta to Italy was an early 20th century advertising campaign by a spaghetti company.....
Marco mentions Asian noodles in his travels, and compares them to existing Italian pasta.
Same same Santa/Coke
The longest take-out in history.
Marco said to his wife "I'm just popping out for chinese..."
Speaking of which, whatever happened to English Noodles?
The best noodles around here are the fat noodles the muzzies pull by hand out front of the noodle shops .
In a lamb noodle soup with coriander, spring onions and a spoonful of mixed cumin and chilli, delicious and tangy.
As an aside, ever since I had dengue fever, I get nauseous just at the thought of noodles now, especially the fat ones. Spaghetti and pasta I am fine with but noodles turn my stomach. WeirdOriginally Posted by Koojo
Pasta is noodles and more
A noodle is pasta.
The Italian pastor likes noodles but he says they are a pasta their time.
Theres always google pretty easy really, the chinese made noodles long representing long life and being associated with birthdays, hence Birthday noodle cake.
Oddly, the etemology of "pasta" also goes back to a root greek word meaning "paste, pastry or cake"
Though I doubt their concept of cake was anything like ours
