I still find it wild that Americans call macaroni and lasagne "noodles".

[-] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 30 points 10 months ago

I find it weird that anyone has an issue with that.

[-] superfes@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

You're right, I should have said pasta, feel free to shame me, I don't call penne, macaroni, etc., noodles e.g. but I certainly said noodles above.

[-] Nachorella@lemmy.sdf.org 33 points 10 months ago

Never feel any shame, they're all noodles and they're all pasta.

My beloved wife still thinks it's all the same and we are crazy for having so many different names and shapes for 面条

[-] anguo@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

Ask her why the shapes of 兰州拉面，油泼面，𰻝𰻝面, 重庆小面，etc. are so different.

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Hahaha! Yeah exactly! And same for all the delicious varieties of 豆腐. Mostly she just gets crazy trying to remember all the Italian names, since we are in France. It's a fair point. It's just funny slagging her about it :)

Maybe you could just use the names I tell my daughter: les pâtes tournantes, les pâtes longues, les pâtes papillons... Kidding aside, I totally understand how having all these names taken from yet a different language than the one you're actively trying to learn could be a handful.

It's wild but convenient for my username

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I've never called macaroni noodles, but I do call lasagna that. It's just really wide noodles.

[-] WordBox@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

And donuts are dessert noodles

[-] moody@lemmings.world 8 points 10 months ago

Hot dogs are meat noodles inside bread noodles

[-] Guntrigger@feddit.ch 4 points 10 months ago

My favourite food is deep fried potato noodles.

[-] GroteStreet@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago

Jokes aside, I'm now craving potato noodles because of your comment..

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Germans do it too. All pasta is noodles.

[-] SkippingRelax@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Also, technically it's maccheroni

[-] WordBox@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

1 macche 2 macche 3 maccheroni
