SUMMARY:Exhibition : What’s in my noodle?
DESCRIPTION:\n\nOn any given day, more than a quarter of the global po
 pulace eats some sort of noodle, pasta or cooked dough. The global ret
 ail market value for noodles in 2008 stood at 30.47 billion US dollars
 , with the pasta market coming in second at some 22.6 billion US dolla
 rs (Euromonitor). And that’s not counting the volume of noodles and 
 pasta made at home, off the statistical radar.\n\nFrom the humble Chin
 ese hand-pulled noodle to fine Japanese barley soba and Italian fusill
 i swirls, the history of cooked dough is one born of necessity and ref
 ined by place, time and technical skill. How did the ancient need to p
 reserve excess wheat or rice stocks after harvest end up in such a var
 iety of contemporary tastes and textures? Not much could have happened
  without the invention of grain mills, helping farmers transform their
  wheat, millet or rice into flour.\n\nAs the noodle migrated throughou
 t Asia, it incorporated local grains and spices. Throughout Japan, we 
 can still experience noodle shops reproducing traditional udon and sob
 a recipes at least three to four hundred years old. In Siam, the hub o
 f trading routes linking the Occident with the Orient since the 16th c
 entury, sauces and seasonings cross-bred with multi-ethnic cooking, re
 sulting in Thailand’s creative fusion noodle cuisine today. But the 
 most thorough evolution of the humble flour-and-water mix has to be in
  Italian pasta, which applied the scientific method to pasta design. H
 ow quickly would dough of a certain shape and consistency cook? How mu
 ch sauce should it be designed to absorb? These details were all studi
 ed meticulously to meet the needs of regional cooking at first, and la
 ter of industrial production.\n\nAt the end of the trail is the cup no
 odle, a food and lifestyle icon of the late 20th century. Infiltrating
  every social class, from the urban harried to the rural poor, the ins
 tant noodle morphed itself through topping, seasoning and packaging, t
 o earn itself a place in every household on the planet. Noodle’s 4,0
 00 year old story underlines the key role of human ingenuity in creati
 ng ever new means of food production. Without them, where would we be?
