This week we're gonna be looking at noodles by the way.

I'm at my parents house exhibit a exhibit b exhibit my dog.

Harry, my mom's dog.

Oh, it's so hot.

It is way too hot.

I'm not gonna be cooking.

I'm just gonna give you some facts and we'll get into the story.

Okay, So in 2005, archaeologists in China uncovered a bowl of noodles that was 4000 years old.

This solidified China as the birthplace of noodles from China.

It's believed that nomadic Arabs nomadic Arabs traveling east brought the dish across the Middle East and into europe.

And since then, noodles have gone global from videos in Mexico to ramen in japan vermicelli in the Middle East.

Every country has its own interpretation.

There is no way that I could cover every noodle from every country.

It's just not possible.

You would be watching this video forever.

I could however, cover seven.

So I spoke to seven people who make seven different noodles in seven countries to see the different iterations around the world.

So this is the noodle episode.

In making this episode, I decided two things.

1, I'm not doing instant noodles.

That is a whole other episode and if you want that one, let me know and to the noodles should be handmade.

So I'm not going to go to factories for this one.

And I do want to say one more thing quickly.

A lot of the noodles that you're going to see have different names in different countries and I am not saying that one is more right than the other.

I just happen to film in the countries that I filmed in.

So if you see a noodle from your country by a different name, leave a comment and let us know what it is called.

Where you live.

Knowledge is power, noodle, Knowledge is power.

Okay, let's begin unofficially.

People think Maggie is noodles of India but um is traditional noodle of India.

We'll begin in China.

Here many cities have their own noodle recipes meaning there are over 1000 different types of noodles in the country.

18 next is a rice noodle out of Thailand where the process for making it is becoming a lost art.

Next up is german spots, all the words spot cell comes from the swabian word meeting little sparrows.

Kind of cute.

And my name is Mark Director.

Yeah.

And the commission noodle on in north adverse Forrester, the common Spetzler handcrafting case, want english martin.

Our investments are keeping in europe.

This noodle is one of the rarest in the world.

You might not think about noodles when you think about indian cuisine or maybe you think about Maggie but they have actually been around since the fifth century.

This is the dish my mother used to do very early.

My name is santa and I live in Bengaluru.

Today I'm going to make rice said.

Yeah, it is also known as new elements that spread, then it means it is made up of rice.

Take rice floor, mix it with a little bit of salt, add water, then make a dollar out of it.

Put it in media palm, press grease it with a plate.

Then you press it properly.

Then steam it texture.

It looks like bread type and it is very soft.

We can eat.

It happened with chutney and with sugar and with the stoop because rice is grown in Kerala, its staple food in Kerala.

It's very important to our culture.

I love that food very much.

And I see that I make it at home.

The word lupsha is the Russian word for noodle and they become popular because of the ability to dry them and store them through the long cold Russian winters.

Creditably of usually of course ideas from final noodle is a rice noodle out of Vietnam that has become a family business.

Yeah.

I've been long paying.

Mm hmm.

Mhm.

Mhm take I think it's interesting how within the seven noodle dishes that we saw the ingredients are more or less the same.

You know obviously there's some interpretations there but it's the execution that makes them so different.

And yet we can definitely say that noodles are universal and we are one world united by our love of them.

Yes is made with the loss of my mom when I was a child.

My mother grandmother used to prepare and then I learned.
