Bon Appétit.
The remains of the world’s oldest noodles have been unearthed in China.
The 50cm-long, yellow strands were found in a pot that had probably been buried during a catastrophic flood.
Radiocarbon dating of the material taken from the Lajia archaeological site on the Yellow River indicates the food was about 4,000 years old.
A catastrophic flood! Could these be Noah’s noodles? And why did he not take them on board with him if they were? Now I’ve got to dig my bible out and start making sense of this discovery.
Scientists tell the journal Nature that the noodles were made using grains from millet grass – unlike modern noodles, which are made with wheat flour.
The discovery goes a long way to settling the old argument over who first created the string-like food.
Great – evidence for the existance of the Flying Spaghetti Monster – our true creator.
everyone knows that the chinese invented noodles and dragons.
So, I was eating some left over pasta covered in parmesian cheese when I saw this article. I split my side laughing at the little “Bon n Appétit.” … but now I can’t eat my noodles anymore .. I hate you.
Believe they are selling it @ Ranch99 or was it @ Safeway.
