    This thread has probebly already been made... something tells me it has.

    Anyhow...

    How do you pronounce the name of the most tasteless food on earth...

    Long "a" or short "a".

    Short "a" for me.

    If it's tasteless, you're not eating the good shit (tell your dealer you only want the good shit!).

    You should see the movie "Tampopo" it's a Japanese homage to the humble ramen, and possibly the funniest movie about food you'll ever see!

    I shalt! That is if netflix has it.


    That spicey lime shrimp ramen in a styrofome cup isn't too bad... it does get old if you eat it more than once a month... but once a month... yessir.

    Ramen (rah-men) is the sustenance of life. I enjoy the hot n' spicy ramen...you can add meat to it, and it's a gut-filling meal. I don't recall what life was like before it...I'm an excellent cook, but every once and a while, these noodles make for a quick and easy meal.

    Matter of fact, I'm buzzed off wine, so I'm gonna go fix some right now!

    i've always pronounced it romman as in romany, you know, like gypsies.

    i usualy just use regular noodles though. they don't take THAT much longer to cook.
    and are generaly more convient in other ways as well.

    not that i have anything agains romin either. romin for ronan?
    (freelance 'samurai', like usagi yojimbo)

    If you have never tried buckwheat ramen, you definitely should! Lot's more flavor in those noodles. BTW, I don't advise ppl to buy those cheap ramen noodle packages. They've got all sorts of shit in the flavor pouches, including msg and other chemicals.

    If you must get the good ones in health food stores (they cost more but they're worth it).

    Better still, drop by an Asian market and pickup the plain noodles and add your own flavorings. Not only will it taste better and be healthier but it will save you lots of money!

    I pronounce it "ronin"... those silly master-less samurai.

    There are healthy ramen?

    I agree though, buy some noodles, add some shit... and have a meal...

    Damn lazy Americans :D

    long a and i sometimes throw away the little flavor packet and just throw all my own spices and shtit in there. but sometimes i just use the flavor packet and a big ol gob of margarine to lubricate the noodles.
