For a change, beef soup

I couldn't resist posting in reference to yet another appearance in the NYT of an "unthinkably long noodle," this time from China. This latest noodle, served in a beef broth, is not only unthinkably long, but also unthinkably thick and, by local standards, unthinkably expensive. 31 cents does sound like a lot for what basically amounts to ramen, but this is unthinkably complicated ramen, so maybe not.
