Spaghetti and noodles are exactly the same thing. The only difference I can see is that spaghetti is packed straight where noodles tend to be wiggly. I can't believe I'm having to argue this, but that is absolutely untrue. Spaghetti is made of milled wheat and flour whereas noodles are made out of flour, eggs, and waterSo they have different ingredients, different textures and different tastes. Spaghetti has a wheatier taste and is more chewy. Noodles are much softer in texture with an almost creamy taste. I really shouldn't have to explain this. What next? Sourdough and brioche are exactly the same because they're both forms of baking using flour? Noodles are sometimes made with egg, sometimes not. And have you ever made pasta at home? Traditionally it calls for a hole to be made in a heap of flour, and an egg dropped in. There are enough variations of noodles and enough variations of pasta for there to AT LEAST be an overlap. They're both essentially wheat in the form of thin long sticks. And they're cooked by boiling in water.

the defining features of all noodles is that they are made from unleavened dough and cut or pulled into strips or strings, which means that various forms of past, including spaghetti and vermicelli are noodles, but the sheets of pasta used in lasagne aren't, really. But come on guys, this is no hill to die on in the great food wars, just a nomenclature thing. Unlike beans in chilli, Niçoise with spuds and cooked green beans or beetroot in anything .

Sourdough and brioche are exactly the same because they're both forms of baking using flour? Milled just means processed. Most flours are processed from wheat, or some other grain. Then just a matter of how much processing: minimal, so that it is left "whole' with some germ, bran and endosperm left, whereas highly processed, "refined" the germ, bran and endosperm have been stripped out (Cake pastry and white bread flour are examples). Enriched means Vitamin B has at the very least been added back in (by law in the US). "chewier", 'wheatier" just means a more 'whole' less "refined' flour was used. You can get/make "chewier', "wheatier' noodles as well as softer pasta, just by changing the type of flour used. And yes you could make sourdough brioche if you wish, and sourdough pasta or noodles. Sourdough just means yeast from the air/environment have been collected by allowing the 'mother' (the wet gloopy dough mixture) to collect/sour them very similar to a fine Belgian beer. Brioche can be made from a natural sourdough yeast or a commercially 'non-sour' yeast.

UK posters www.mevalco.com/Spanish product importers who have had to change their business due to the restaurant trade evaporating. Some of the stuff from here is very, very good. The chickpeas are supermarket prices but they are of the "ah so that's how Chickpeas are meant to taste!" variety. We bought a load of stuff, including a huge bottle of oil, for quite reasonable prices. Yeah it's not Aldi/Lidl prices, but the quality is exceptional. God I'm so middle-class it hurts.

Yes, but so what? All grains are grasses that doesn’t mean they are interchangeable in taste, structure and texture. Nobody in his right mind is calling pastas like spaghetti noodles- at least not in Europe. ( and my hopes are high for big parts of the rest of the world too.) I am sure that most Chonese would be disappointed too, if they order Tomato-y noodles and get served Spagbol. It is just not the same at all. No beans in chilli? According to which gospel? Baron’s??

I’m pretty sure authentic chilli doesn’t have beans?
Maybe Sloop can clarify

Would you call a car a boat if you tried to drive across a lake?
