A Good Day for China

Not sure if you heard the news...and though we here in the US may not seem to be very interested, the Chinese are very proud today. And justifiably so.

No, I am not talking about the successful launch of their second manned space flight.

No, this is about the newly discovered archeological evidence that the Chinese did, in fact, invent pasta.

Sorry, Italy. You got there second. The Chinese have been serving noodles for four thousand years.

At last, we have an explanation for the stuff on the steam table at the Rice King on base.

The names might lend a clue as to why we in America might favor the Italian stuff. Chinese -- "Iron Wire Pasta" Italian -- "Angel Hair Pasta"

Mmmmmm...Iron Wire...yummy!
