- Noodle month occurs in March each and every year. Noodles have been said to be the cure to a cold, winter time blues or a broken heart. With all that is happening at this time in the world perhaps noodles are just what the world need.
- A bit of history
- Noodles are thought to first be made during the 13th century. During that time bakers would mold dough into symbolic shapes such as birds, stars and words.Today a mandate has been passed down by law that to be considered a noodle it must have 5.5% egg solids. Meanwhile, many other dry pasta shapes contain no eggs.
- Perhaps it is no wonder that Noodle Month is observed during March. Noodle consumption will increase each year during the colder winter months at least by 1/5 of what is normally enjoyed. Likewise, Lenten season often sees many enjoying noodles while they abstain from meatless meals
