    Default Ramen Noodle poetry

    That package, that crunch, unmistakable smell,
    It calls to me like Pavlov’s bell,
    The price, the taste, I can’t decide,
    What makes me want you by my side,
    But what I do know about you now,
    Is that your creator should take a bow,
    For your many flavors could not be,
    Any more T-A-S-ty,
    Beef and chicken, shrimp and pork,
    Oriental with a fork,
    Small silver packets shine and shine,
    Their purpose in life: to blow my mind,
    Lots of water, cooked or dry,
    I don’t care, just let me try,
    You move me much more than a snack,
    You are a meal, you are my crack,
    Addictive and cheap, I just can’t quit,
    I can’t help myself, not one damn bit,
    One pack, two pack, three pack, four,
    I just keep wanting more and more,
    But the more flav’red seasoning I see melt,
    I have to add a hole in my belt,
    And the more holes my belt accrues,
    The more second dates I will lose,
    So Ramen noodles, I bid you adieu,
    Because there’s some things you can’t do.



    From College Humor (no name to credit tho?) I was looking for cartoons related to ramen, I have some that my mom sent me since for 2 years my excuse for not going to college was "Sorry, but I am NOT living on Ramen Noodles."

    Ah Ramen. I know it's not so healthy, but when you're broke those huge variety packs from Costco will keep you full for weeks for cheap! I like to put all kinds of seasoning on mine.

    God, I wish I could afford something more healthy. I feel like an oinker, but choice do I have? Cheap and tasty- fits the bill.

    I know, but I don't have a membership and no moola to do so, so I can only go when I catch mom on her way to a trip there.

    I already posted this elsewhere, but it can't hurt to repost.

    Some tips for making ramen healthier:
    -After boiling the noodles, strain them and rinse them well like regular spaghetti to rinse off some of the fat. Heat up some broth water, add the flavoring, and add noodles.
    -Reduce the amount of flavor powder used to reduce sodium.
    -Add veggies and meat to the ramen.
    -For an equally cheap substitute, go to the local Asian markets. You can get huge bags of dried noodles (go with the dark brown buckwheat ones, called zaru soba, for the best nutritional value, but the wide white ones will suffice) for dirt cheap, as well as concentrated soup broth base which can be diluted to taste. I make that all the time with veggies, meat, a poached egg, and I mix a teensy bit of wasabi mixed into the broth. Yummy!

    I used to eat ramen all the time. I loved the local Maruchan and Top Ramen (Lime Shrimp used to be my fave until I got sick of it!), and I also ate different brands sold at the Chinatown supermarket. However, I NEVER eat it if I'm going to see my BF, as it makes my pee and pussy juices smell weird. For me, eating Ramen is like eating asparagus.

    Haha my man LOVES ramen. He adds eggs, frozen peas and cut up hotdogs to it. I like the Korean spicy instant noodles, also spicy beef instant noodles.

    Korean noodles ROCK! I especially love the Nongshim brand Kimchee flavor, which has noodles that aren't fried.

    Alaska:

    While I was Googleing for Ramen cartoons & poems after reading your post, I came across a Ramen blog entitled "I Eat Ramen Because I Am Lonely"...

    Excerpt:
    "...Ramen is so important and delicious to our culture (and when I say "our culture" I mean kids who didn't have enough money to eat in college so we live off of top ramen and Kraft Mac & Cheese; the things we couldn't get our moms' to buy when we were little) that there is an indie label called Fueled By Ramen Records. This proves my point that ramen is a super food and should be places right up there with the avocado. Rock stars eat ramen. That's all you have to say."

    ^^Maybe because the microwavable cups of ramen are called "Oodles of Noodles"?

    Seems like Hatshepsut should be the executive contributing editor....thanks!!!! Didn't see yr previous post on this great topic.

    The Asian markets probably have vegetarian flavors hopefully! (probably just that--vegetarian "flavors.")

    Are they?
    But I never eat the cup ones, they taste bad. I always eat the ones that are a brick of noodles in a bag. Hmm.... Guess that's where I picked up that word.

    Black Sheep, you got to food blog it up!!!

    I remember in 2000 I used to look at this guy's website. He was Asian and had taken pics of his meals everyday forever. I was searching for his website, but it's all crowded out now with everyone's food blogs! This guy was the best tho, even if it was just driven by OCD squared. It was pure food. No commentary. Just lovely.

    Were those cups around in the 80's? Cuz yea that's when I was an Oodles Of Noodles tot. Aren't you from PA Kaylinn? Maybe it's an "east coast thing" like everything else that is correct in this world.

    That was beautiful! Haha I think I pretty much lived off ramen for a year or so (not because I had to, either! I just liked it that much!)- 1 dry package for lunch at school, 1 dry one for a snack when I got home, and then one cooked one for dinner I'm so amazed I don't have scurvy...
    At some point, most women (hopefully) realize that "the number" doesn't matter one iota and the notion of "slut" is just socially-generated bullshit meant to keep us "in our place". I will fuck who I please when I please and I don't give a rat's ass what anyone thinks about it.
