Don't forget to cut them babies! If you try twirling just one strand around your fork it ends up being almost too big to fit into your mouth. ;) Sauce doesn't stick to these noodles like it does with flour-based noodles but they add the perfect touch of authenticity under curry & stir fries.

My all time favorite is an aggregate site to which food bloggers submit their entries: FoodGawker. Editing to add a couple more: Smitten Kitchen Steamy Kitchen

mmm Tiger Meat sounds great. I grew up in the mid-West where my grandfather and uncle both had farms. Cattle were raised. Cows were butchered at the local Meat Locker. Eating raw hamburger was not unusual; me & Gramps would put it on saltine crackers w/ S&P. I read somewhere that now the...
