Okay, is that guy on the Citadel just lying about that to get more people to buy it, or has Ramen actually become a delicacy on Earth in the future?  

Because seriously, Ramen is like the cheapest food anyone can buy...

[rumination888]

Theres expensive ramen and there's cheap instant ramen.
Its like steak. You can buy cheap frozen dinner steaks for less than $5, or you can go to a high-class restaurant and get one for over $50.

Eh, I'm paying a bit more than a $1 if I got to a Japanese restaurant for their ramen.

Mmmmm...now I feel like having udon or soba or whatever...

I'm hungry now. I think I want to order ramen.

It's just a funny ironic Alien misconception about Human culture. It's like Japanese people thinking hot dogs are a delicacy in America.

They probably chose Ramen noodles as the cultural reference-point because of the stereotype that gamers are lazy/broke and eat Ramen regularly.

hmmm ramen...



gona go get some now, thanks for the idea guys

[Never]

Mmmm, that's what I had for lunch!

I have to admit that I am a ramen fanatic; from cheap one (which can be awesome) to instant ramen (not my favourite, too oily most of the time) to expensive (only disappointing experiences so far). Though I do not understand Yuki's (Persona 4) love for fried tofu... iek. A good bowl of soba featuring some nice beef (or not) is all I need.

Maybe the Japanese seller is an allegory to Blade Runner and all its food stalls.

Depends on whether it is good Ramen. Right now in Bonn (Ex-Capital of (West-)Germany) I know only one shop where one can find real Ramen, ... and that is a Restaurant with quite some prices. Up to 7€ per Bowl. Didn't get to test one, ... but with me studying Asia (Yepp, Asia-Studies at the University Bonn), that is right at the top of my To-Do-List ... directly after spending a Semester or more in Japan ...

Wow... In the US, Ramen is even cheap at Japanese Restaurants.
Unless you order a huge bowl with lots of steak thrown in or something...

Frying makes everything taste good. Fried tofu especially, which is just a giant cube of gelatinous slime.

Noodles garnished with cilantro + kim chi + fried tofu = win.

Bleh...I hate Sauerkraut, so I know I'll hate Kimchi as well.



But as for frying makes everything good, I'm inclined to believe so.

In the future, people outside of starving college students have discovered the wonder of Ramen noodles.

I rarely eat sauerkraut, but I don't recall them tasting the same. Kim chi smells like a gasoline station though, but it spices up a really bland dish.

[Sigma Tauri]

Ha! I'll probably like that. I occasionally get into drunken trances by eating new delicious food and drink.

that was really funny. i just got back from japan and i picked up the game... i almost laughed my butt off

Hey, I love German food, I just hate Sauerkraut...That and Knackwurst.



Bratwurst is delicious, but I don't like Knackwurst one bit.

Hey, ... Sauerkraut is cool! You never ate a real Schweinshax'n with Sauerkraut and a Mass of german Beer (the real one, not that non-alcoholic stuff you get served as trong beer in the US!) ?

You missed something. Actually I am not into the beer too (alcohol in general), but that's something everyone should have tried. Just like Sushi with Sencha and Sake for the aftermath (mean stuff I tell you!) ...

Just to combat the notion that all we have in the US is that weak-ass Anheuser-Busch beer-flavored kool-aid crap, I present to you the menu from ONE of the many fine breweries/draught houses in Austin, TX.

I just wish they still had the milk stout they were brewing this winter.

wow, how do you people eat that stuff and not clog your arteries

[Frogman1975]

Chemistry? Hops, yeast, and water!



At least the places where/brands that I drink. LOL. I won't drink that mass produced swill (except Guinness... I do have a weakness for Guinness.)
