We can get fried noodles here but I never liked them. Always reminded me of
something stale. Don't like the flavor of curry either and stir fry doesn't
go over well at all in this house. I can eat it maybe once a year if I have
to. Husband can't stand the stuff. Angela will eat it on occasion with
chopsticks. But it's just not a favorite.
