    Mrs. Xxcarol! What is Dashi Miso Udon with vegetable star (how many?) from Michelen restaurant classification?

    It's a measure of approval for their version. More stars means a
    better rating (better food).

    Here's a link to the story of the little red book (Michelin Guide).

    https://guide.michelin.com/th/en/history-of-the-michelin-guide-th

    It began life as a marketing tool to get people to take automobile trips
    and thus to buy tires fortheir autos - which were supplied by Edouard and Andre's factory. The ratibngs of notable restaurants came in gradually, eventually taking over the guide ... or so it would seem.

    If nothing else it's interesting reading and a glimpse into history.

    It's called an "ellipse" which is used for many things in printed copy.
    A favourite usage being the "pregnent pause".
