Note panel 2 that Piggy refers to "instanto ramen", the pre-made variety, not the usual fare one can eat.

As for my own ramen : I like to buy a bit of vegs, a bit of chicken/pofk, and mix my miso ramen to my taste.

tiddbits : ramen are the chinese noodle. Japanese noodles are soba, somen or u-don according to the kind of flour used. Noodles soups, are popular from Myanmar to Japan, can't think of a small shop where you can't buy the instant noodle variety. But far tastier to eat them in a side restaurant imho.

I ate way too many packages of plain ramen (no veggies or other flavorings addes). Now, I hate the stuff.

I ate a lot of ramen for a while. Usually the "top ramen" or whatever was at the local store cheap. I usually made two bricks at a time, and only used one "flavor" packet for the whole thing. When I made one brick, I used half a pack. Doesn't add actual nutrition to the product, but it's slightly less death.

Sometimes I'd throw a slice or two of cheese on top and let it melt, when I felt frisky.

I want ramen now.

hhhmm, i read it from somewhere if you eat ramen everyday, you'll die in 10 years due to the huge amount of sodium intake.

Damn, it's like Tat read my mind or something. I just ate some ramen...and it was good.

if I were to die in 10 years from ramen, it would be a good happy death.

i used to throw in some frozen vegies and an egg and then some lemon juice to brighten it up - one pot dinner!

i think living at least part of the time on ramen noodles is just part of being a college student - you know, like all-nighters. not particularly good for you, but what you need to do at the time.

In college, I used to mix ramen noodles, instant rice and frozen peas together... I could get 3 meals out of it, easy. Thanks mom for teaching me the art of box and can cooking....

And no soup for any of us.... just ramen...

I love the combination of the last panel and the tagline.
