Since I am working on a cooking major in school, I just had a thought of a trivia about food in general, like restaurants, dishes, and different ingrediants. What do you guys think?

Interesting! I suppose many of us (me included) could learn quite a lot from it.

Let's start with the first question:
Which people first created noodles?

I would have to say the Italians.
If not, then pretty much the Italians took the idea of making noodles and made hundreds of different varieties.

They certainly took the idea and many believe that the Italians invented the noodles. The Italians invented half a dozen names or so for almost identical spaghetti which differ only in breadth or length.
However, it wasn't the Italians who invented the noodles.

Right. The Chinese invented the noodles, but indeed the Italians created many noodle forms. Your turn Nick.

If you are asking for a people I would guess (without knowing) the Americans, but you are asking for a person, don't you?

I'm thinking of George Washington Carver. He found a lot of uses for peanuts, and think peanut butter is one of them.
