拉面 lāmiàn! 
The longest noodles you will ever eat: 
average noodle length: 12 metres, or 39'!!
拉面 lāmiàn means 拉 lā, pull + 面条 miàntiáo, noodles.
拉面 lāmiàn means "hand-pulled noodles".
The idea of 拉面 lāmiàn originates in the Muslim areas of North China.
(I am not a Muslim, but please don't tell anyone.
They may not allow me to make these delicious noodles!)
A famous centre for 拉面 lāmiàn is the city of 兰州 lánzhōu in 甘肃 gānsù Province.
China has millions of noodle restaurants in all parts, which sell:
兰州 lánzhōu-牛肉 niúròu-拉面 lāmiàn, 
Lanzhou-Beef-Noodles.
Britain, as far as I can tell, has only 3 or 4 Lanzhou Beef Noodle restaurants.
So we thought we should bring this Chinese speciality to marketplaces in Britain!

Pull those noodles Pete!
Looks like you still need some practice!

Get them in the pot and boil for 1 minute!

Granddaughter Lucy, the pianist, at 5am!

Start to make the noodles.

Pull those noodles Pete!

With every pull the noodles get finer!

Now the noodles are ready to cook!

Put the noodles in boiling water for about 1 minute.

Fetch the noodles after 1 minute in boiling water.

Eat chillis in the cold winter nights!
