yeah, i traditionally use chopsticks for asian noodles and forks for european noodles but now i’m gonna grab a pair of sticks for carbonara night and start an argument.
Isn’t that just the German word for “noodle” (and apparently “pasta” too)?
I’m interested now! I can’t find an obvious difference in definition but it seems that pasta and noodles use different types of wheat and are prepared in different ways. Plus they tend to be used in different foods from different cultures, but I don’t think that changes what they are.
I’ve only ever heard Americans (and now Germans!) refer to pasta as noodles, is it just a cultural thing?
My assumption is because they’re exotic and most people don’t know how to use them, so it’s harder than using a fork.
At least the two on the left have no idea how to use them.
Me, personally, I prefer chopsticks for noodles.

You’ve already started an argument by calling pasta “noodles”!
Not all European noodles are from Italy
