Beef noodle soup is a Chinese noodle soup dish composed of stewed beef, beef broth, vegetables and Chinese noodles. It exists in various forms throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia. It was created by the Hui people (a Chinese Muslim ethnic group) during the Tang Dynasty of China.In the West, this food may be served in a small portion as a soup. In China, a large bowl of it is often taken as a whole meal with or without any side dish.In Chinese, "牛肉麵" literally means "beef-noodles". If one orders "牛肉湯麵" or "beef-soup-noodles" in a restaurant in Taiwan, China, or Hong Kong, one might be given a very inexpensive bowl of noodles in only beef broth but no beef. Since beef has become much more affordable these days, most restaurants no longer provide these broth-only noodles. If one orders a "牛肉湯" or "cow-meat-soup", one could be given a more expensive bowl of beef broth with chunks of beef in it but without noodles.

If we were a Chinese company that made knockoff phones, we probably wouldn’t make a knockoff of the HTC Touch. However, we would follow in their footsteps and beef up hardware features to include a GPS, a 2-megapixel camera and fingerprint security. We just wouldn’t put Windows Mobile 5 on it.

Sometimes you need to be creative. Once my wife was trying to order chicken, rather than beef, and when all else failed, she started flapping her arms and making clucking noises. The Chinese think foreigners are crazy anyway, so it's good not to disappoint them.
