ramen

ramen is very delicious
if you've never had ramen, it can be found in a wide variety of asian supermarkets
such as H-Mart or Assi which is located in Niles i think
unfortunately, what you will find is not actually"ramen"
rather, you will find many varieties of disgusting, "americanized" pieces of crap ramen

now, the united states version of ramen compared to real ramen
is like comparing a maggot infested, chunk of cheap, moldy, bread with flies covering it
to a delicious cake.
i'm not joking

this is the ramen you americans are familiar with:and i am always annoyed when i hear people talk about it
americans seem to actually think this piece of crap is good
seriously, americans will shove anything in their mouths


now, actual ramen is composed of mainly: soup, noodles, and assorted vegetables/meat
depending on what goes in the ramen, there is a huge variety of types of ramen available
such as miso, tonkotsu, shoyu, shio
and many more
the specifics can be found at this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramen#Types
of course, they are only available in korea, japan, china, and so on
not in america
because americans are satisfied with the crappy freeze-dried, flavorless variety
they dont even include vegetables or meat
all you get is some thin, texture-less noodles with dried broth powder, mass-produced in factories
sheesh

this is what you COULD be eating:



a rich broth with noodles that aren't freeze-dried, actually MADE by a real chef!!
with some vegetables, pork, and (this is amazing) an EGG!!!
so delicious
when i was in korea this summer, THIS is what i ate
american ramen doesn't even deserve to be compared with real ramen

so if you suddenly find yourself in an asian country
and you happen across a ramen shop in the street, then GET SOME
and you will agree with me


as usual, america has managed to turn yet another fine dish
into a seriously disgusting piece of crap
go america.
