The Chinese prefer those long noodles in soups too, especially in
soups, they greatly favor gelatinous and slurpy. Haven't you ever
been to a real Chinese restaurant where Chinese people dine... I used
to go to the Chinatown in NYC with a Chinese friend, the menus were
all in Chinese. I liked those long noodles in yatka mein with duck...
I used to especially enjoy watching Chinese women slurp those long
noodles.. they snagged an end with chopsticks and kept snagging and
swallowing until they finished a large bowlful all in one continuous
slurp... and nothing drizzling down their chin, not a drop wasted.
