It’s even more confusing that the university is in a town called Wichita Falls.

Next up: We open a University of Saxony in rural Bavaria.

@tkinias Singapore noodles are from Hong Kong

@skinnylatte
well on that front, *many* things aren’t from where their names imply—a favorite for me is “gobi Manchurian” which has AFAICT no connection with Manchuria whatsoever. -
@skinnylatte
but Singapore noodles is a wild one, because the mix of flavors in it actually feels like something that could plausibly have come out of the cultural mixing in Singapore (at least from an outsider’s perspective) -

@tkinias definitely much closer and most constant cultural mixing between Singapore and Hong Kong through history, use of spices not utterly unknown
vs longer cultural distance for the Hakka Chinese food that moved to Kolkata then evolved probably over a period of time into a new cuisine with its own dishes
