      Let's be honest, how hard would it really be for people to come up with something similar without interacting with each other? It's not that hard to make fettuccine, soba noodles, and rice noodles. Anyone who has tried to boil any type of dough to make dumplings can get the idea to roll out the dough and cut it into strips to make noodles.

    "Godzilla v Destroyah" is outstanding; I love the shameless rip-offs from the Alien franchise. But "Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah, Giant Monsters All-Out Attack" wins on its title alone! And seriously, the father-daughter relationship between Ryudo Uzaki and Chiharu Niyama provides the best human B-story of any of the Godzilla films. Uzaki is particularly good. He had been a Japanese rock star in the 1970s, and then two decades later he turns in this understated, heart-warming performance. Best of the franchise!

    M1 stands for model one and is used in conjunction with the name for example the M1 Garand is the predecessor of the assault rifles that the U.S. military uses such as the M16, however civilian variants are referred to by different names for a few reasons such as how the AR16 (the civilian version of the M16) lacks the burst and full-auto firing modes of its military counterpart.

    A kipferl isn't a croissant. While the "shape" was stolen from Austria, that's pretty much it.

    The problem with euroovision is that it hasn't been about the singers and songs for a good long time. The political climate surrounding the contestant and the country they are from is much more important than the actual song or performance. The only times the contest is won by the best song/performance it's to dissuade the voices calling it out for the sham it is.
    Honestly it could be removed from existence and it'd just be a massive money savings for the governments attending that farce of a contest.

    Most historians agree that pasta developed separately in china and Italy. I mean it's made whith water and flour (and sometimes eggs) come on! I'm surprised nobody else managed to invent that too. 😂
    The first pasta references in Europe are dated way before the time of the first explorations of Asia so it's unlikely that one influenced the other.
    There is also couscous and similar other dishes around the world that use the same process to be prepared even if the shape and consistence are different.
    It's probably just a coincidence.

      It's boiled dough!
      Most cultures figured out how to make flat bread.
      Only two cultures figured out how to cut flat dough into strips and boil it.
      Only one culture figured out that if you take that flat dough, spread it with butter, fold it over itself, spread with more butter, repeat until out of butter, cut in triangles, gently roll the dough triangles up and give it a cute bend, and then bake it, you get a croissant!

      First exploration of Asia? Roman Empire had communications with China centures before spaghetti were invented.
      I doubt that the receipt itself was taken from China thought, the culture of eating was very different, just look at old pictures depicting medieval poor eating spaghetti. Way too barbaric.

      I was mentioning them cause some people think that Marco Polo brought pasta in Europe.
      I was referring to the XIII century more in the specific.
      To be fair, the "traders" in the time of the Roman Empire were more something like random travelers that once every now and then (almost never) happened to travel the road all the way.
      The Silk Road existed since 400bce or something like that, but very few people actually completed the whole trip.
      It was more of a "products went that way, trade after trade" kind of thing.
      It was too much of a burden taking a 10 years travel just for some merch (until people started doing so in the 1200s cause Mongolian Empire was extraordinary wealthy and people wanted to avoid intermediaries such as the persians)
      Has always been much more profitable for them trading with someone "in between" and then receive from those people the chinese products.
      Romans basically reached India at most in a "frequent enough to have relatable infos about them" way (as it is also shown in many Roman maps), in fact they barely knew anything about China.
      Their culture, tradition, costumes etc. were almost completely unknown at the point romans tought weird stuff like that silk growed upon trees.
      The "Le divisament du monde" of Marco polo was deemed such an interesting book and is an unicum in history exactly because people basically had no relatable knowledge of China prior to year 1200.
      The first confirmed record of chinese people in Europe mentions them as part of the mongolian army that reached Hungary with Gengis Khan in the 1200s and they then went in most of european courts as ambassadors, and it was the same period in which few missionaries, as well as the Polo family, traveled their trips to China.
      Prior to that we have only supposition that maybe some merchants may or may not have done the whole silk road trip risking to almost-certainly either lose their life (for some weird disease, starvation or whatever else) or being robbed (which happened even to the Polo family) and wasting many years of time for basically a few bucks more than what they could have done staying at home with their family.
      Very unlikely from an historical perspective. People were curious about the world, sure, but they were not stupid.
      It is likely that someone eventually managed to travel all the way even in the centuries before, but those few people were certainly not enough to be relevant and most of the other contacts throughout history up to 1200s were not direct.
      Also, for the pasta matter, we have to keep in mind that people mostly took their family's job or were sent to learn one and that was it. A noodle maker (someone who was formed specifically to prepare noodles from zero, low status job) becoming a merchant-traveler (trained in a totally different way, high status job) is that alone a quite unlikely event and people were jealous of their professional secrets. Not anyone could prepare noodles and at the same time and have the right knowledge, relations and enough money to make good deals and travel across the globe.
      I reckon that my statement might have been a bit unclear.
      I hope this explains better what I meant.
      Also, "barbaric" is a weird concept cause it's related to the time period and current costumes of the speaker.
      Romans found "barbaric" to drink undiluted wine due to its preparation. We now think that diluted wine is a complete bs if not an outright scam.
      Maybe some kinds of pasta at the time were eaten like that and would have been as strange as eating a burger with fork and knife if you ate them in another way we nowadays might consider "sophisticated".
      We can't know that, therefore "barbaric" is an adjective used, in this case, in a quite ignorant way I must say, since it also might try to indicate the supposed "inferiority" of the subject in question, and we should be extremely careful with such types of judgement for a whole lot of different reasons, even if I doubt you intended the word in that way.

    The A127, also known as the Southend Arterial Road, is a major road in Essex, England. It was constructed as a new arterial road project in the 1920s, linking Romford with Southend-on-Sea, replacing the older A13. Formerly classified as a trunk road, it was "de-trunked" in 1997. It is known as the Southend Arterial Road except for part of its length in Southend-on-Sea. It is also streetlit for its whole length despite its majority coverage through rural land.
