Why isn't Spaghetti on the menu in Chinese restaurants?

Asked by JackAdams (6574points) October 1st, 2008

The Chinese claim that they originated Spaghetti in their country, and that (according to legend, which may not be true) the explorer Marco Polo sampled it, liked it, and took it back to Italy with him.

If the above is true, then how come Chinese restaurants don’t offer it?

When answering this Q, please feel free to note your favorite recipes (or links for same) and the way you prefer to have yours. I love to have mine served with meatballs that are anywhere from golfball sized, to baseball sized! And, when a nearby restaurant has “All You Can Eat Spaghetti Night,” I am the first one in line!

Thanks (in advance!) for your comments/answers.
