Egg noodles?

Has anyone come across egg noodles in England?  The kind you can get in ribbons, wide, extra wide or dumpling style?

Well yes and no, my Asda has the very thin egg noodles, the kind that you put into chicken noodle soup, but I havent ever seen the wide ones. And I have looked!

No idea if they have egg in them or not, but I've bought wide 'noodles' (pappardelle) in either Lidl or Aldi... and I have seen it in M&S.

I think they are more like a pasta, but they may work in a pinch if I get desperate. I've just been craving egg noodles for a couple months now.

I used to get them at the Polish grocer.  They always had them. 

Hubby had never even heard of them before.  He also teases me when I call anything that's not Chinese or Japanese a 'noodle'.  I explained egg noodles to him and he'd never come across them before.

I bet like Mrs Pink said an Eastern European grocer will have them.

I've been looking for them too. I'm thinking a good kosher section in a grocery or a Jewish grocery would have them, but I've not had a chance to find either...

I have never seen them in a polish shop, I need to keep looking. Saying that, I have made a mean noodle kugel with pasta from M&S, those thin egg noodles that Asda has don't kugel so well.

So what's the difference between pasta and noodles?

Like Andee's husband, if it's Oriental, I would call it a noodle, but anything else is pasta.  (Drives me crazy when people refer to 'lasagne noodles'!  )

The part I'm not understanding is how wide these wide egg noodles are. I've seen egg noodles in all the shops, but perhaps you're looking for something else. Are they wide like lasagne??

I miss them, too... I just love them buttered. And I can't make Haluski without them!

Oh. 
Those arent very wide at all (to me.)
Can't you just use fettuccine?

It's a different taste...

Oh, right... is that because of the egg?

So what's the difference between pasta and noodles?

I found this quote online:

"Egg noodles are the central and eastern European cousin to pasta. The primary difference between noodles and pasta is that noodles use exclusively eggs (eggs are used in pasta dough in northern Italy, but not southern Italy, where people rely on dried pasta), and noodles are kneaded more to develop the gluten for a chewier product. Egg noodles are thicker, chewier and more substantial than Italian pasta...."

I grew up with egg noodles being used for various Hungarian dishes and there is def a subtle difference. Egg noodles are yummy!
