There’s a version of this in China called Longevity Noodles: https://msshiandmrhe.com/longevity-noodles/

The idea is to make one very long noodle to represent a wish for a very long life.

I recently found out about Yard Long Beans... a green bean 3 feet long? Blew my mind, or whatever was left of it.

Huh, so I will go to the gigantic Chinese grocery store near my house and inquire about this. Long noodle : Propserity

the canned ones? Or your mom made a weird casserole? (Hot Dish sorry, if you're in Minnesota). It's so different. I haven;' tried the 3 foot long beans yet, but regular green bean cooked fresh - it';s really diferent! The canned ones are mushy and weird. They're like, okays! But REAL green bean is pretty good. They can be toothy. They can be chewy. They can be.... anything you want.

I am against any kind of green bean that is green bean flavored.

boil them longer! tastes like water and bean fiber, which tastes like uh.... anti-bean. Negates all bean.

I've heard people make similar claims about other food I hate. Like tofu. There will still be essence of green bean.

I could do that, or I could not buy them in the first place. I think that might be the better option for me.

You know what is best, in your heart. I suggest to avoid Noodle.

Despite the common name of "yardlong", the pods are actually only about half a yard long, so the subspecies name sesquipedalis (one-and-a-half-foot-long; 1.5 feet (0.50 yd)) is a more accurate approximation.
