    This is a very anglo-centric viewpoint as, belive it or not, but there are noodles that are neither Italian nor Asian. I’m German and we have noodles that definitely aren’t pasta. The word noodle (Nudel) has for ages been used to describe all sort of boiled/steamed doughs. I don’t think anyone would describe a Dampfnudel as asian.

    This is probably also why OP called it “noodle”. They’re German, using a german word for it’s intended purpose

      I specified European multiple times. ‘Italian’ used in brackets as we were both looking at Rigatoni tubes and Italian pasta is the synonymous pasta type when you think of pasta.

      That has nothing to do with ‘anglo-centrism’.
