My daughter and I were just arguing this yesterday!
Nicole may break often but this episode might be the epitome.
All pasta is noodles but not all noodles are pasta
Also when you talk about niche and jargon stuff like the special pastas can you put photos up of what they look like too
Yes! Burger King is trash
As a Vietnamese person, I get giddy and appreciate that Josh mentions our food more than any other non-Viet person I follow.
Caller doesn't like things so people shouldn't have variety and healthy options?
I’ve always thought of pasta as like a dish category with noodles in it 😅 noodles are any type of noodle like penne, linguine, spaghetti noodle, etc. and pasta is any noodle dish like lasagna, ravioli, speghetti!
is ravioli a pie?
43:05 Cran comes from kraan which means crane, and it's still used as crane. Cranberry is called crane berry in several languages. Cranes like them.
My family make Hungarian nokedli with csirke paprikash, and those are considered dumplings, but in my mind, they are large egg noodles. All that really matters is does it taste good and make you feel good.
Josh called the chao mein torta "cross pollination," missing the chance to call it "cross polinASIAN."
I make Chicken & Dumplings by boiling Bisquik dough on the top of my soup. My mother-in-law made it with thick noodle-type “dumplings” that she boiled in her soup, which I always found heavy and slimy!
(She once also asked me if I put mangoes in my spaghetti sauce! She finally explained that in their part of Ohio their best Bell Peppers were grown by a farmer named MANGO, and his name was on the shipping boxes!)
Can y’all do a curry podcast/ YouTube vid?
The black label Velentina's is a great base for wing sauce. You start with that, then you cut it with butter to your desired heat level. (and add whatever other spices/herbs/etc you want. I like a hot sweet combo, so little brown sugar, little honey, straight up hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, etc)
OMG the fact that Nicole doesn't know what Oberlin is, let alone that stupid story about the cafeteria serving banh mi, is so refreshing. So much online culture war nonsense originates at Oberlin, and it's nice to know that there are normal people who don't get dragged in to that crap.
I've always thought of pasta as the blanket term where noodles specifically refers to stuff like spagetti, ramen, lo mean, soba, papardel. Long and noodley. That's why it's called a pool noodle, or those wavy "noodle" guys at car dealerships.
Where as pasta refers to all of it, including gnocchi, rigatoni, and macaroni, which are not noodles, they are pasta, or macaroni.
I would also never consider a dumpling to be pasta, whereas ravioli is.
Basically, in my opinion, Pasta is the dough, noodle, macaroni, gnocchi are the form by which the dough is shaped/prepared.
Final edit: the word Pasta literally means Dough. I'M RIGHT S*CK IT JOSH.
We just need a clip episode of Nicole just losing it😅
Okay y’all not cool to use someone’s pets death as an intro… have some sensitivity for them please
In Ireland, pasta and noodles are two separate things.
You should bring Jennifer 8 Lee on one of your shows! She’s a big person behind all the diverse emojis and it starts with pocket/bun food. https://youtu.be/Dj8oul-ZCh0
I will only get a shake and curly fries at arby's because every single time I had a sandwich the meat was slimy like snotty slimy and that's completely turned me off from it
This is a podcast that debates micro categories and puts them into macro categories.
“Gomiti” in Italian simply means “elbows”. You see pasta named after objects or body parts: “Orecchiette” or “ears”, “Farfalle” meaning “Butterfly”, etc.
Noodle is defined by the shape and process in which it was created.
it all came from China anyways. Just call it what is it. Noodles. Who cares!
Josh is a GENIUS

vietnames (or south asian) shrimp crackers are an innovation and made me realise we can make crackers out of anything
You do NOT need lip gloss to make you look better. Perfection cannot be improved!
I'm sorry, but yellow mustard is great on more than hot dogs and hamburgers. It's great on a cheese sandwich with mayo, spinach and tomatoes and salt and pepper and garlic powder, especially on fresh porridge brown bread (the Maritimes oats and molasses variety). Yum!
You're not missing anything Nicole. Communion wafers taste like styrofoam.
If you do a podcast about juice then you HAVE to have Shayne on it! Daddy needs his Juice!!
I need a White Castle vs Krystal episode. Are they the same…?
Polarized views for sure
I can't believe Josh wanted to divorce Nicole. That was just awful. 🤣
Burger King is the worst fast food place I have eaten.
as a vietnamese person, i am really pleased about how much josh remembers/knows about vietnamese food language <3 feeling represented, after so long of hearing banh mi bowl when people are eating bun, this makes me happy
Nicole laugh is contagious
why is everyone hating on burger king. their fries are top tier, their burgers far superior to mcdonalds. that caller is dead wrong.
I love Nicole, I love this friendship and I just love food talk 😊
All noodles are pasta but not all pasta are noodles. Noodle dishes are different from pasta dishes
We’re Dominican and yea the Spaghetti on the beach is very real and special. Nichole hit it on the head, it’s the carbs. Also it’s easy and inexpensive to make on a larger scale. Go early while it’s still low tide by the time it’s lunch that’s Spaghetti hits different. Ugh what time. Such great memories.
