The remains of the world's oldest noodles have been unearthed in China.

The 50cm-long, yellow strands were found in a pot that had probably been buried during a catastrophic flood.

Radiocarbon dating of the material taken from the Lajia archaeological site on the Yellow River indicates the food was about 4,000 years old.

Scientists tell the journal Nature that the noodles were made using grains from millet grass - unlike modern noodles, which are made with wheat flour.

The discovery goes a long way to settling the old argument over who first created the string-like food.

Professor Houyuan Lu said: "Prior to the discovery of noodles at Lajia, the earliest written record of noodles is traced to a book written during the East Han Dynasty sometime between AD 25 and 220, although it remained a subject of debate whether the Chinese, the Italians, or the Arabs invented it first.

Tell us about yourself and this strange fixation on slimy yellow bondage gear.

Once a noodle is over 2,806 years old, it starts to bear a depressing resemblance to certain parts of T-dog's anatomy. After it's been well boiled.

Did you know that Campbell’s Soup had noodles made by an outside vendor for eons to be used with their splendid Chicken Noodle Soup/ After eons they told the vendor they were going to make them themselves after all they were now part of a large conglomerate that had members capable of making noodles. They failed, the noodles didn't have the same shape nor did they hold up to sitting in a can moisturized and come out like spanking fresh noodles. They went crawling back to the vendor and asked for the recipe. No said the vendor . Will you then sell us more noodles. Yes said the vendor but it's going to cost you. Yippie for the little guy.
