Everybody loves Ramen

[Future of the Funchise]

But why..?

Could someone explain to me what makes this food was so popular?

Is it anything like the authentic stuff in Japan?

[Jangler]

Don't know, too much sodium for me.

[Guest CatofWar]

i think its the 30 cent price and the deliciousness of it.

[Future of the Funchise]

30 cents? that's an outrage... we get them for 15 cent a pack down here.

It's quick and cheap....

I like to add things like bits of meat or sausages. Also a splash of sesamee oil helps.

The authentic stuff I have had overseas involves boiling, cooling and reboiling the noodles 3 to 5 times and I like it better. When Mama-San was pregnant with Pantha-San #5, I was working overseas (Oman) and would have the travel department route my flight through Kansai (Osaka, Japan) so I could pick up the noodles I was craving. It added to the travel time but was soooooo worth it.

I like sausages.

I heard that about you...

I used to come home drunk from college; not boil them and eat them like cookies.

I'm fat.

Perhaps I just kept developing from an evolutionary perspective post college

Oriental used to be my favorite, but it's been overtaken by Maruchan's Roast Beef.

Good tips. I like to throw in veggies, and sometimes the occasional egg.

I make two packs for lunch pretty frequently, but I use only one flavoring packet and spice it up with a ton of cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper, and curry powder.

You guys are making me hungry. I think I know what I'll be having for lunch today.
