OK...I just heard that?!
Answers: Spaghetti isn't Italian, but in fact, was invented in China. So---why would the Chinese give it such an Italian name???
No, the tale is that Marco Polo introduced pasta noodles to Europe. It is still the subject of much debate. Some culinary historians point out that since the Italians had been making dough for bread long before Marco Polo's birth, it is not impossible that some of the dough may have found itself in boiling water and sauce. The Chinese make long noodles from other ingredients besides flour: rice, sweet potato, other yams, mung beans.
im pretty sure spaghetti is italian
Most likely they didn't. I think the Chinese invented the noodles...not the combination of noodles and tomato sauce. That probably came from the Italians who then named it spaghetti.
it is Chinese. It just was given a different name by the Italians. Otherwise chong ching monting bolignase would be on menus all over the world ( no offence intended)
Maybe Chinese Invented it. Then they still eat it and call it as they want to. It isn't important where it was invented, every people is able to call it as they want.
In another hand maybe the name is Chinese but we think it's Italian.
I am sure the Chinese did not use an English or Italian name..
the dough they made was most likely for noodles and bow-ties etc.. and in their tongue
as machinery developed,,, the round spaghetti and macaroni's and the whole range of pasta became possible..
You only just heard this? Well it's not true. (Italians gave the names of their pasta according to the shape) Spaghetti, pasta, maccaroni, all the same thing, is made from hard Durham wheat flour later eggs were added. Chinese noodles(they did not call them spaghetti) are made from rice flour. What idea that was imported to the middle east & Italy was "Noodles" and quickly adopted by other European countries as dumplings, knockle etc. It is now being said that Marco Polo didn't even reach China. Will anyone ever know for sure and for that matter, do we really care where it came from as long as we got noodles?
Chinese? I doubt.
Spaghetti is the plural form of the Italian word spaghetto, which is a diminutive of spago, meaning "thin string" or "twine". The word spaghetti can be literally translated as "little strings."
Yummy.
no if they invented it and the italians took it, the chinese wouldnt change the name, the italians were. But anyway, the may have taken the idea of the noodle, but for the sauce, the chinese dont really have much tomato in any of their food
I think they just invented it. Someone else named it. However, the Chinese did invent spaghetti!
The original creation of noodles is strictly Asian. The Italians gave it an Italian name after trading with China in the late 13th Century.
Noodles as we know them now were indeed invented in China. Who knows what the Chinese word for noodles is?!?!?! (lo mein?) The Italians gave it their own Italian name: pasta, and spaghetti to be more specific as to the shape of the pasta.
