Noodle Nonsense
There I was eating my Chicken Giblets Fried Noodles when I got to thinking about the noodle chopstick problem. I don't mean that it's a problem to eat noodles with chopsticks, but there is the problem of choosing the correct method to suit the individual.
So, I decided to bring you a short guide.
First we have the "pick them straight up" method. Depending on the length of the noodles you may have to stand on the table or even borrow a ladder from the local fire fighters. This method is clearly better for the taller among us.
Then we have the knitting method of eating noodles. Treat your chopsticks as knitting needles. You might not get to eat any, but you will end up with a nice noodle jumper or scarf, depending on your knitting pattern.
Finally, you can be sensible and gently manoeuvre the noodles sideways into your bowl while they aren't looking.
But I didn't want noodles! The idiot restaurant had run out of the house speciality. At 11:30 am!
seeing your photos here, i missed my time in xinjiang and tibet! i miss the
food most! damn!
how does the other customers eat their noodle? a ladder?
I am Chinese, but for long noodles, the best way to do it is still the
Italian way: fork and soup spoon. If I have to use chop sticks, I precut
the noodles with scissors. You are allowed to call me a cheater.
Fork and Spoon? The restaurant doesn't possess such things. Cut the noodles
with scissors? What kind of Chinese person are you? (BTW, I've rarely seen
an Italian person use a spoon, either.)
The only problem I see is ther lack of the appropriate liquid refreshment.
Where is the reqired beer?
Don't worry. Beer was right there.
