“N-Word”

December 16th, 2005 :: noodleson

Until recently, the FDA required a noodle to contains flour, water and eggs to be rightly called a noodle.

Since most Asian noodles aren’t made with eggs, this left them with alternatives like “imitation noodles,” Asian noodle producers - from the birthplace of the noodle no less - could not use the n-word. The government finally relented, and we can now see “Asian noodles” on packages.
