From the poverty meal series...

**** YOU!

When I was a kid living in Champaign, Il... we hit up the Asian food store constantly

The varieties go far beyond top ramen... there are usually 3-5 packets or more of different seasonings, and better quality noodles than in regular ramen

Used to buy these real deal rice noodle shrimp soups, the broth was pink and there was a decent packet of crumbled shrimp, flavoring oils and vegetables... oh yeah, the Asian store was a staple

Asians damn well know their soups

Look, I don't eat these things but 3 or 4 times a year - generally when the temp is falling or if I'm sick. There's bound to be some poor ****s who are artists at doctoring these things up!

Buzz is your man

I feel the need to restore love here. I just recently discovered slow-cook beef ramen with melted sharp cheddar, onions, broccoli, and a lot of love. I dedicate this love to SR, and pray that he will have a peaceful evening.
Amen.

Thank you.

Back in the day would add some butter and maybe a few thawed frozen shrimp.

ramen noodles are an aphrodisiac...

once you guys decide to address this topic with a straight face and take it serious - let me know - until then - rot in hell.

Thanks u

I'm sorry boss. You feel me? (Try some pineapple and Spam in the pork broth Ramen.)

Thankk yous

Pan-fried SPAM is absolutely delicious, and would probably go quite well with pork or chicken Ramen.

Nissin Beef is the one I prefer.

Dude I lived off Ramen for the longest time. Still eat it here and there. Get a pack of chicken ramen, doctor that bitch up. Good stuff. **** cup noodles though, those are poser ramen

Always gotta have a full clip of hot sauce ready to go. Hot sauce and ramen were made for each other

I'm glad that macaroni was my cheapass food coming up; I can really enjoy items like Ramen and SPAM.
If you haven't ever tried pan-fried skillet SPAM, you have NO IDEA what you are missing. Put that shit on a warm tortilla with cheese blend, lettuce, and tomato, combined with your favorite creamy salad dressing.

That shit is UN-****ING-REAL good.

In fact, I'm putting that on my grocery list right now!

Thanks

Spam rules that was a staple in my household growing up. Good call on the pan fry spam, my mom used to fry up some spam and eggs, good stuff

Ramen noodles with broccoli or mixed veggies are my go to.

Proper Ramen noodles have a great taste that is excellent for combining with other, more substantial foods.

Truly one of the better food inventions.

I want to talk about SR and CP for a bit before I say goodnight.

I met SR in 2010 during the CP Bash at Nzoners. Clay had ridden up with SR from Texas I believe, and Clay was a little nervous about meeting some of the people from the site in that they might actually want to hurt him, but Nzoners place is sacred ground where none of that type of shit is allowed, so that everyone can have a good time.
SR was a perfect southern gentleman who was avoiding alcohol at the time while I was absolutely committed to shoving as much of it down my gullet as humanly possible. I had driven up to St. Joe with Flop and we had a bit of an adventure along the way, as GPS systems were not quite "all that" just yet. Upon arriving at Nzoners, we were greeted by OTWarpath who immediately nicknamed Flop "Rand McNally" for his awesome navigation skills. LMAO
Clay and SR arrived a short while later and we all had a lovely evening talking shit, drinking profusely( except SR of course ), tossing the rock(Pablo has an arm), and beating the shit out of ping-pong balls. Also, Dartgod burned his AIDS-ridden Larry Johnson jersey in the bonfire that evening while Clay wept inwardly( ;) ).
A great time was had by all and SR was then, and still is now, a perfect Southern Gentleman with an adoring mother who cooks one FANTASTIC looking steak.

Cheers to you, SR; you'll always be my favorite cracker.

That's very sweet of you to say, cheers.

I have never tasted Ramen Noodles. Nothing against them or those who indulge. Just never been there.

For Spam, there's a joint on PCH in Manhattan Beach, CA (or there abouts) that serves breakfast. All Spam. Spam omelets, spam whatever. Polynesian joint.

Nice man.

why not throw a jar of mayo on there too you fat pos. go **** yourself, **** mohomes too. you heard?4321

Go fist yourself pussy

On the contrary, ramen gets far more attention than it reasonably should warrant.

The appeals of Ramen are the speed and the varieties of the seasoning packages. I used to buy the Demae Itcho brand that sells for $15.00 a box of 30 packs in Chinatown.

I watched a video one time showing that Ramen noodles staying in the stomach couple hours before fully digested. My wife is steadfast for not allowing me to eat it anymore. Now I boiled angel hair and its texture is better than the noodles. I put my own seasoning, and different kinds of soy sauce to flavor it up. Mix the noodles with pork, chicken, beef, or seafood and the meal is edible while watching the games.

Craziest shit I've ever done. Cook it, mix it with egg and chill, throw it on the skillet to make 2 patties. Make a burger. Top it with egg and Sriracha ketchup.

make this

2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons ground ginger
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
salt, to taste

It is your own ramen seasoning. Add it to the noodles instead of the seasoning packet. Slice chicken breast really thin and add it to the noodles with some chopped carrots, peas, mushrooms, and green onions. Crack an egg in the water right when it gets done boiling and let it cook right on top of the noodles and water.

You can use beef or pork but I like chicken the best.

Nope.

This is the last bowl of store bought ramen noodles that I had, 4/14/2017 to be exact. It had a nice bit of heat, but an off putting sweetness that I didn't care for.

As for technique, I typically go less water to keep the blast radius to a minimum.

My wife loves the stuff. She cooks it in the water without the seasoning packet. Once it's cooked, she drains all but maybe a tablespoon of water, then adds the packet. It's at least palatable that way.

Ramen is so weird. It would be like if the only pizza most people in America ate was frozen Totino’s and we just remained ignorant of real pizza.

That’s changed a lot in recent years with the proliferation of “real” ramen restaurants, but when most people think Ramen they’re thinking about instant Ramen they are when broke. Imagine if when most people heard pizza, they thought of Totinos.

The real discussion: Ramen vs. Pho?

If I have left over mixed veggies I will throw them in. Rarely eat them. My aunt makes this "Oriental Pasta Salad" with ramen noodles and it's legit

Cross thread humor? 🤔

My wife makes a ramen salad like that. I've banned it from the house when I'm not traveling. The smell of that shit she makes literally makes me nauseous.

Yeah back when I was 19, doing the roommate thing and didn't have two nickels to rub together, I would eat some of that. I haven't had any for several years but it was a cheap gut bomb in a pinch.

I stopped eating Ramen noodles when I got my first real job in 1981......

Maruchan. Yakisoba. Teriyaki beef flavor.

Sir, has anybody accused you of being weird ?

BTW, That is a serious question too with that shit listed above!

I mean, that sounds like colon blow or something to that nature.

How in the blue **** is this Alexsexual turd whacker not banned yet?

These are my favorite. About .75 each and they go great with any leftovers. Fill bowl to the line and microwave for 3 minutes. Throw away vthe dehydrated veggie packet, use the seasoning packet. Add about a 1/2 cup of anything. Taco meat, chili, stir fry, grilled chicken etc. Quick, easy, cheap lunch. Not good for you, high in sodium.

If I do the noodle packets, I strain off most of the water and just mix the seasoning into the noodles, so it's not really a soup.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fc4adbc6b7.jpg

Maybe a few time a year I'll buy Cup O Noodles. I drain the liquid out and put it in a shallow bowl and eat it like spaghetti.

PROTIP: Go to Sama Zama in Westport for noodles in KC.

https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/323...0&odnBg=FFFFFF

This right here is the gold standard. $1 a bowl at Walgreens.

Yeah I like college budget pho.

Some ramen (whichever brand is cheapest - 10 for a buck at the dollar store)
Steak-ums dropped in there
Some cilantro from the cheap wilted section of the grocer
Dried vegetables
Taco Bell hot sauce packets

That's fake pho, and the add ins will cost you $5. So it's a fee of five for faux pho.

I'd try fum.

Thank you

I'm not poor anymore so I don't have to eat that shit. I literally lived on them for about 2 years after my divorce ( couldn't beat $1 per 10 pack) and can't stomach them now

This was a staple of my college and just after college years:

Cook 1 package of ramen noodles, drain the most of the water and then add the spice packet. Add 1 can of tuna. Sprinkle on grated parmesan cheese and add sriracha. Sometimes I would add 1 egg too.

Poor/drunk people food.

I never liked ramen, even in college. My cheap eats college meal was fried egg sandwiches. I could buy a dozen eggs and a cheap loaf of bread for $2 and have 6 meals.

Maruchan >>>>>>> Nissin

Beef ramen with an egg (scrambled and poured in to cook while boiling) is weird, but good. You can throw on some sriracha sauce at the end if you're feeling crazy.

I don't really eat the stuff. My wife likes it and will typically buy the chicken. If I make some, I drain most of the liquid and add sriracha and soy sauce. It's not too bad.

Hot tip for the day - once you get the little brick of noodles pulled apart in the water, remove from heat immediately... nothing worse than a bowl of mushy noodles

Al dente FTMFW.

insults are only funny when anti alex posters post them? got it.

None of your posts are funny, you dropped another Smith turd-bomb in a thread about Ramen ****ing noodles for Christs' sake, and you have the temerity to ask such a stupid ****ing question?

Are you related to Threetard, or do you just help him suck dicks at the truck stop?

I had some Creamy Chicken ramen noodles tonight. They went well with some of those 10 for a buck fifty chicken nuggets from Burger King. I refried the nuggets to make 'em extra crispy.

Your love affair with me is kinda creepy.

I remember boiling Raman for the first time. Life changwr

Ding ding ding.

Egg and cheese sandwich with miracle whip

Never had Ramen noodles until I met my wife.

She marinates boneless skinless chicken breasts in a salsa and seasoning recipe that she came up with, cooks the noodles and adds celery and carrots (used to add peas, but I can't stand peas), then adds curry and the chicken.

Really good soup.

As for spam, my poor ass grew up on that.

Can not stand that shit.

Cook 2 minutes...drop in 2 eggs and sir...and then add cilantro and scallions...youre welcome

Thanks you

Don't blame me. Not my fault that you are king of poverty CP meals.

You dick!!!

We may need a Hungry Man thread

Really may need to be manufacturer agnostic - maybe something like - "Let's Delve into some of your favorite TV Dinners"

Yeeeeeeees!!! :clap:

I will - you have to space out the food threads about a week apart - otherwise they risk becoming failing threads and not achieving 100 replies.

Baloney and Velveeta

https://i.pinimg.com/736x/40/64/e8/4...a-velveeta.jpg

The idea that you'd sell shit-meat and corn-oil-cheese as a viable option makes me want to take Kloster's cock and smack you about the head and face...

I didn't say it was the good shit

Hey now, its hard to top a baloney sammich once in a while... especially if you fry it up a little bit

this is the ramen thread - it's perfectly fine to discuss things like artificial food that we like - MSG and the likes.

i love salt but spam is even to salty for me. kind of like sweet daddy hate. enjoy your last winning season mahomafobe.
