Whenever I talk about ramen
(midwest.social)
MemesI don't get it.
Some of the best ramen I've had came out of a cup. When I was at sea, it was a little bit of comfort after a cold night feeling very much alone and overwhelmed.
At the same time I've had great ramen at sit down places with friends and family.
Shouldn't it be switched?
It should, unless OP is implying that the instant ones are better lol
I was talking to my roommate about a ramen restaurant, and he scoffed and said "Ramen restaurant? Who the fuck had that bright idea?!"
It turns out he thought that all ramen was instant. Like you walk into the restaurant, sit down, and they serve you some noodles in a cup.
to be fair unmanned instant noodle restaurants do exist in some parts of east and southeast asia
I love both
GTFO With that gatekeeper shit
Both? Both is good.
yeah exactly, instant noodles hit the spot sometimes but I could also go for fancy ramen. Both can coexist :3
Sometimes you want a steak and sometimes you want a hot dog.
Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't.
Plot twist: Ramen is the nickname of their mutual friend
Am I crazy for not really caring for either?
Well at the end of the day it is just noodle soup that has a few different spices than European food.
If you don't enjoy it, maybe you just don't like the garlic+msg combo?
no
But also yes
I like "real ramen".
Whatever you've made, thats fake stuff. You got the pot of noodles? Wrong. You got the packet? Wrong. You got the fresh stuff made yourself with all the trimmings? Wrong.
500 days of ~~summer~~ spring rolls
I use the noodles from picture 2 to imitate picture 1 because I'm poooorrr.
I used to have a "starving student" cookbook which was just different things you could add to instant ramen.
I can't stand the real stuff. I hate miso.
Not all "real" ramen has miso. There are so many different styles of traditional ramen, with different regions in Japan doing things differently. My favorite is a nice tonkotsu ramen, which is made with a broth of only boiled pork bones. Topped with scallions, crispy garlic flakes, kikurage, fried pork belly, chili/sesame oil, and a soft boiled egg. It's super tasty.
I also eat instant ramen of course, both are tasty.
That sounds acceptable. I'll look around!
A thing can be two things.
