Dont ruin the love *runs and cries*
That is a big reason I eat it though....weather i want to be honest or not it is mainly since it makes me feel more like a Japanese wanna-be nerd.
I did not know it was Chinese though.....when did God trick me like this *sigh*

aww its ok kairu i know exactly how you feel. *pats back*

yea i love ramen and to know that its not Japanese it really saddens me. T_T

Ramen, cheap, microwaveable ramen... When I first immigrated here to America, that and rice made up half of every meal I ate. Good times, good times. For school, I brought uncooked ramen with the seasoning. Even without the seasoning, ramen was still pretty good.

Now ramen has too much sodium. I eat it still, maybe once every two months, uncooked and as a snack, but that's all.

To clear this up, all I ate was not just half ramen and half rice. But every meal I ate, one of them made half of it.

Like Tsurara said, Ramen originated in China. All that aside, I do eat Ramen noodles; as a matter of fact; back in collage, when I lived in the dorms, ramen became a staple diet in our room. Cheap and easy ta make. Ahh... Memories. Kiddin' aside, I can' really complain 'bout ramen, I actually like the stuff. I especially like the ramen in a cup, I think that it's better than the stuff in the packages.

Actually, the person who created ramen died several thousands of years ago. It is documented in Japan in the 17th century and likely originated in China's Q'ing Dynasty...

The guy who created the instant ramen died recently though. I wonder if it was from stomach cancer? :P
