<p>I swear I'm gonna die from eating so much ramen.</p>
<p>Every college kid's favorite food yumm.... Anyone hooked on this yet? :)</p>
<p>its the msg...</p>
<p>It looks disgusting to me...never tried it. I'd much rather eat something worthwile like veal parmasean or chicken picatta.</p>
<p>ramen just isn't for me.
i'm much more of an easy mac person.</p>
<p>ramen ISN'T good! </p>
<p>it's cheap with lots of seasonings, as well as quick and easy to prepare.</p>
<p>students are funny...they will criticize campus food for not having enough variety, and then will live off ramen or "subway" type sandwiches for four years.</p>
<p>I had ramen for dinner tonight. I boiled some parsnips, carrots, and broccoli, and added sauteed mushrooms to the mix. It was quite yummy all together. Sometimes it's good if you break an egg over the ramen when it's about half-way cooked. Check out some yummy recipes here: <a href="http://mattfischer.com/ramen/%5B/url%5D">http://mattfischer.com/ramen/</a></p>
<p>i'd rather the Cup Smack Ramen Shrimp flavour.</p>
<p>It's funny how everyone is saying that cup noodles is "ramen."</p>
<p>Sigh. There are a lot of things I don't like about living in Japan, but good REAL ramen is one thing I do like.</p>
<p>so, it's NOT the ramen itself, but what else you do to it that makes it seem so good.</p>
<p>It's the price that makes it so good.</p>
<p>it's the MSG. everything with MSG tastes better. everything.</p>
<p>Isn't MSG bad for you?</p>

<p>Oh yeah, because every college student has cheap access to foods lik these.</p>
<p>Eh, unless the cafeteria makes it. For example, the lasagna at plaza [ucsd] is quite good. Can't be said about anything else, though...</p>
<p>Some people have MSG intolerance, and there are studies that it may lead to excitotoxicity, but it is mostly safe.</p>
<p>It tastes good because there is usually nothing else to eat...because either the fridge is empty or the food you want is too expensive. Hunger is the best spice for food. :p</p>
<p>Ramen is a last resoort for me :D</p>
<p>I commute, so I have access to this sort of food on a daily basis...as long as I have the stuff to make it, that is. I cooked tuna noodle casserole this past evening because I found out I was completely out of other meat! Guess I'll be grocery shopping tomorrow...</p>
<p>As far as Easy Mac, there is a better and less expensive alternative. Regular Kraft Mac & Cheese can be made in the microwave. You can use a plastic Ziploc bowl to make it in. Just make sure you have a quarter cup measurer for the milk you have to add. Actually, you'll want a liquid measuring cup for this whole process so you get the right amount of water in the bowl. (Good Grips makes one that you can read from the top--it's pretty sweet) Don't bother with the butter--I never make Mac & Cheese with butter, it tastes better without it, and there's almost no fat in the mac and cheese if you use skim milk.</p>
<p>The directions used to be on some boxes but they take them off now and then, like when they have blue box kids promos going on. I can post them here tomorrow if you guys want. To my knowledge the directions only work on the regular size regular shape pasta. It may be a little different for spirals, Spider Man, family size, etc.</p>
<p>The best part is that the value packs sometimes go on sale so it's possible to snag six boxes for next to nothing. If you've got a grocery store nearby it's worth getting.</p>
<p>Because evil capitalist american pigs make it</p>
<p>Buy Soviet Union products! For the good of the state!</p>
<p>I don't care what anyone says, msg gives me a severe [url=<a href="http://www.msgmyth.com/%5Dheadache%5B/url">http://www.msgmyth.com/]headache[/url</a>]! I like highly seasoned food though, so I live to suffer and suffer to live!</p>
<p>ramen is amazing because when you wake up from a fun night... sometmes you just crave it!!! even though your head hurts and your stomach feels funny.. you crave chicken (flavored) ramen and nothing else will make you feel better.
plus its got 33% of your daily value of sodium. nobody with a salt tooth can dislike ramen. </p>
<p>and regular kraft mac and cheese is also amazing. i dont like easy mac.</p>
