carbohydrate flexibility made edible, slurped happily by half the planet before they could spell it
means Long, thin strips of dough made from flour and water (sometimes egg), boiled until tender and eaten across countless cuisines.
from From German Nudel, a noodle or dumpling of uncertain deeper origin — possibly related to Knödel (dumpling). English borrowed it in the 18th century. Despite the worldwide spread of the food, the word itself is firmly Germanic; the separate slang 'noodle' for head or fool is an older, unrelated English term that may have nudged its way into the same spelling by coincidence.
