Noodles

Noodles have been a staple food in many parts of the world for thousands of years. The Arabs of the Middle East claimed that they are the first to make Noodles, so is the Italians. Well, they are all dead wrong ! Believe it or not, the Chinese were the first to make noodles in the world.

The earliest example of noodles, dated 4000 years old, were unearthed by Chinese scientists in Lanjia and reported in the the weekly science journal Nature, Volume #437 in October 2005. The Long thin yellow noodles were beautifully preserved inside an overturned sealed bowl in the archaelogical site at Lanjia, nothwesten China. The bowl was buried approximately 10 feet underground. This discovery is the earliest evidence of noodles ever found. So, no insensitivity intended, Ma Ma Mia, the mother of all noodles is originated from the Chinese.
