What about noodles?

[She chews the corner of her lip, stifling some of her eagerness.]

I saw a man once eating a plate of Italian noodles with sauce and meatballs and it was as big as his head. And they have to wind it around and around in on itself to make it all fit on the plate, so when you find a noodle and start to eat it, sometimes it goes on much longer than you think it will! I wanted to try that, but I didn't get the chance to.
