Why do noodles have such a hold on us? In this episode, we twirl our forks (and chopsticks) into the comforting, cross-cultural world of noodles. From Italian spaghetti to Chinese lo mein, we explore how these slippery strands bring us warmth, nostalgia, and even a little emotional release.We’ll talk about the science of food cravings, the ritual of slurping, and why noodles might be the most comforting carbs on the planet.
