The chinese characters given are 担担麵. Now 担 is 'dan' and 麵 is 'noodles'/'mein' but (though I am hardly an expert) I thought that 担 was simplified and that 麵 was traditional.

So I would expect 担担面 (simplified) or 擔擔麵 (traditional). Please correct me if I'm wrong about this.

google counts as of July 2006:

担担面 168,000 (both simplified)

担担麵 56,300 (simplified/traditional, as currently in article)

擔擔面 170,000 (traditional/simplified)

擔擔麵 227,000 (both traditional)

So not only is 担担麵 the least common combination (according to google) but the actual hits returned show 担担面. (At least for the first two pages. There is a 担担麵 returned on the top of page 3.)

Comments?

technically 面 is simplified but 麵 is also often used in simplified contexts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.250.0.182 (talk) 03:02, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Peanut butter and sesame paste

I recently saw a Malaysian Chinese-language cookbook that recommended peanut butter in Dandan Noodles. Will try to add link--达伟 (talk) 00:02, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Spicy sauce

shouldn't it be 'spicy hot' sauce? Spicy is ambiguous - in the context of flavor, it means "having a strong flavor" but might be used to describe hot (tasting) flavors. "Spicy sauce" isn't quite wrong, and I'm no expert with dandan flavor, but I suspect "spicy hot" is a more accurate description. (Whether the flavor has a mild, moderate, or strong 'heat', I suspect the spicyness means "heat". (burning sensation in oral (or nasal?) cavity.) 98.21.213.85 (talk) 21:51, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The technical term would be pungency or piquancy, the former being more scientifically exact but the latter being more commonly understood. Sneftel (talk) 18:23, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
