Thanks Mel. Yeah, it would be an old phrase, since the gma that passed down the recipe died in the late 1890's! And yes, the noodle dough is rolled out and then you cut squares, about 2-3 inches in size. Drop them in a rolling boil chicken stock (we still cook a chicken all day then debone it). It's GOOD!
And if someone wants the recipe, you can direct them to me.
