Sesame cold noodles

[Alex K]

They say that chow mein was invented abroad -- that it's not known in China.

I'd taken for granted that sesame cold noodles (of the sort that I learned to love in Manhattan) were part of Chinese cooking world-wide. But today I've tried a Google for that term, x London, and NOTHING shows up.

Has anyone encountered sesame cold noodles on a London restaurant menu? In SE-something, if at all possible?

It's an authentic Chinese dish, yes. My wife cooks it sometimes - never seen it in a London restaurant though.
