This may be more of a Midwestern thing, but when someone says noodles, egg noodles are what come to mind first. I grew up eating them with butter or gravy and meatballs. Asian food comes to mind second.

I consider pasta either macaroni or spaghetti-type stuff -- linguini, angel-hair, etc. Pretty much anything Italian as opposed to Asian noodles.


I believe there's a hero in all of us that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams. -- Aunt May, Spider-Man 2
