| Friday, October 14, 2005 Delicious ramen... that's 4,000 years old
Archaeologists have literally unearthed a 4,000 year old bowl of noodles. Kyle said the NPR story goes like this: 4,000 years ago, a guy was sitting down to eat a bowl of noodles when an earthquake hit, followed by a flood. The bowl of noodles overturned and were covered by the bowl, then covered by the silt. Apparently, when archaeologists discovered it, they snapped a photo and the noodles turned to dust with exposure to the air. The NPR story caption says they look almost "edible". Uh, to who? Not me!
Thursday, October 13, 2005I guess that settles it though. I mean 4,000 years? It's probably safe to say the Chinese did invent the noodle.  Mmmmm, pho.... NPR: Neolithic Noodles Unearthed in China posted by sheryl | 12:22 AM | comments (0)
Street food, Bangkok style
I am a huge street food advocate. Given that I am the biggest cheapskate there is, this makes a lot of sense. Whenever we travel, street food and cheap eats is what I am running around eating-- as much of it as I can. There is something so pretentious about, say The French Laundry, that I can't get into, especially if there is something to be had that is grilled in the street. So I'm excited about this week's NY Times article about eating street food in Bangkok. Whenever I tell anyone that street was nearly all we ate when we visited there a couple years ago, I typically get asked, "Aren't you worried about getting sick?" I guess I am, but not any more than when I sit down at a restaurant and they prepare my food behind closed doors.
Now if only Seattle had vendors who sold noodles on the sidewalk... (sigh) NY Times: On the Streets of Bangkok, Two Guys Keep It Real posted by sheryl | 3:48 PM | comments (0)
