Ramen noodles: the next generation

I noticed something. There are only a handful of flavors for Ramen noodles. There's shrimp, oriental, beef, chicken and I believe that's it. It's time to move past those days of simple meat flavors. It needs some new style, something to really kick it up. I think hampster flavor would be rather tastey. What do you suggest?

For those of us with the urge.

Are you suggesting that "oriental" is a type of meat?

You've obviously never seen Tom Yam (Thai curry type), normal curry, onion chicken, thai soup, vegetarian and duck flavors before in ramen haven't you?

Penis flavoured, so that I can give it to people I know and ask them what it tastes like. Those who say "This tastes like dick!" would be ready to join my inner circle.

I suggest you go to an asian grocery store, and check out real ramen, not this bastardized american stuff.

Not at all. What they do is go to the sweatshops that make ramen noodles, scrape the sweat off the workers, dehydrate it and put it into little seasoning packets. At least that sounds like a reasonable way to make Oriental-flavored seasoning.

Why does oriental sweat taste so much better than mine?

Meh, close enough.

Can't seem to get my mind off of you
Back here at home there's nothin' to do
Now that I'm away
I wish I'd stayed
Tomorrow's a day of mine
That you won't be in

You've clearly not experienced the Cajun Chili flavor or Lime Chipotle that we have in local grocers around Texas.

There's a whole world of Ramen. Live it!

I have reached the state of actually being unable to touch mustard containing products. A hatred based on some "character building" experiences from my youth, but never the less.

One day i shall destroy mustard... all mustard, strike at its dark and evil rhetorical heart.

Well if Sandwiches =/= Ramen Noodles, you can take away your equals sign there:

Talking about food is like natures sleeping pill, except leave out nature. Well its a crappy analogy so discard it. But when ever i want to force myself asleep I look at picturres of food I would like to eat until I get so hungry I have to go to bed, or get a snack. But the staircase seems so big...

Did you know that they make organic Ramen Noodles? They're like 75 cents a package (vs. 20 cents a package for regular) but they're damn tasty. Healthy, too!

You could have almost 4 meals for that 75 cents! what a waste!

Yeah, you've got a point there. But it will last longer on the good noodles.

On a side note, why can't the organic ones have meat flavors? I've had organic chicken before, why not organic chicken-flavored ramen noodles?

The thing about noodles is that you're supposed to spice them up yourself. Add flavour, and veggies, add spice, add hamsters... It's just a base, not a meal in itself. ;)

There are more flavors than that. Like a cajun flavor I can occasionally find. Yum.

My favorite way to eat Ramen:

Get a pkg of Beef or Picante ramen. Crush the noodles while they're still in the package (put package on countertop and press down). Open the package and set the seasoning mix aside. Empty crushed noodles into a microwave dish, pour water on, cover and cook for about 5 minutes. Dump out the water.

Get a brick of hot Mexican Velveeta (or mild, if you're from up north). Slice off about 1/5 of the brick, cut it into pieces, sprinkle them on the noodles, and put back in the microwave, covered, for one more minute so the cheese will melt.

Stir in the seasoning and enjoy!

I love ramen. It's not good food. but it keeps me alive. It's what Bill Engvall called "broke food".

You poor deprived soul! Come visit me over here and I'll take you to my local supermarket that has about 100 variations. My favorites are the hot korean imports.

Then I'll take you to the Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum (http://www.irma-world.com/public/cont024.htm) (dedicated to the man who invented the glorious food) to gaze upon the wall of instant ramen - a display of every single type of instant ramen ever produced by Ando-sama's company Nissin (over 1000 types, IIRC).
