Voodles?
 

I was just copying out a recipe I wanted to keep, and discarding the bits I didn't need/want. It was a clam & bacon sauce over spaghetti squash, and I'm not very fond of spaghetti squash. So I made a note that other veggie noodles could be used (of course), and tried to think of an appropriate word for them. There is "Zoodles" of course, but I am less fond of zucchini noodles than of spaghetti squash (though I rather like the term "Courgetti", which I've found on English sites). Also, zoodles don't really convey the idea of "any darn vegetable that fits through the spiralizer" :lol:
So, help me out here. Any ideas for a new word? Voodles? Vegles? Vegetti?

:) :lol: :yum:

Well Vegetti is the brand name for the hand held spirilizer I have.
How about squash spaghetti?

I must say I have tried to like that spaghetti squash through he years and it just doesn't taste like something I want more than once or twice
per decade. :lol:

I know, right? It's very bland, like "real spaghetti", but without the comforting "slurpiness" that a good noodle, in a nice sauce, has.
OK, thanks, that must be how the term vegetti got into my brain. Too bad, but we don't want to step on any copyright toes.
I can think of all sorts of individual names for individual vegetables (one of my favorites is beets; golden "beetles" anyone?), or maybe "carrodles", but I'd really like something general, to cover the lot. I think it is a necessary term for any LC dictionary. :-)

Haha- I think carrots become "coodles"? I love those with Asian peanut sauce or pesto or any cheesy sauce.

I love all Spiralized veggies and spaghetti squash, tbh.

For a clam sauce, i'd try maybe like a parsnip or turnip noodle? Poodles or toodles :lol: ?

:lol: Poodles!

I was looking for ideas for a LC Yorkshire pudding for my Christmas roast beef (didn't find one :cry: )but found several references to "Yorkies". I'm not sure I want either Yorkies or Poodles in the pan. The cat would probably object anyway :lol:

For the clam sauce I was thinking of kohlrabi (Koodles?) or celeriac (this one is difficult, which is why a generic name is needed IMO), but parsnip or turnip also sound good. Once all the Christmas leftovers are gone I will start thinking about cooking again :yum:
