Actually there seem be other folks calling themselves such. Maybe I should be the ramen whisperer.
Hmmm. This isn't really just about ramen but about weird stuff that almost always isn't good for you but it's fun to eat or
has some other feature that makes it entertaining.
The quintessential ramen for me at least is this stuff. Seems to have been around forever, and since apparently has been
since the seventies it covers quite a bit of my life. Hard to remember when it wasn't on the shelves in about every grocery
store.
Probably even back then I consumed it occasionally because I was intrigued by the product and process. Peel the top back,
dump in some boiling water and wait. It was fun taking fork and winding up the noodles, and then drinking the water.
Yeah, that's real good for you.
Probably it isn't good to eat it all the time, but people on tight budgets have been known to. Some years ago we had a kid
worked in our installation section, went out to the customer sites and trained them on the software after my guys put the computers
in, that was in the 70-80s before everything off the shelf on cheap hardware. We had a per diem of something like $20-30 a
day for food, and this kid would eat ramen for every meal. Saved the leftover money to buy computer stuff. Last I saw
him, and he'd been doing it for a few years, he seemed healthy. Maybe he ate normally the rest of the time.
Seems those styrocups was about forty-seven cents then, still under a dollar until the
Plandemic. Dunno what it is now,
haven't bought any in a while. Since that's gonna be opener for the weird and/or unhealthy food stuff odyssey I should go get some.
I do a hybrid keto/starvation diet these days, heavy on the starvation. A 24 and 40 hour fast most weeks doesn't leave a lot of time
for eating. Should be able to work something in now and then.
Until the next time I feel like eating something and talkin about it....
