Do you drink the liquid from an instant ramen soup?

[Bryntrollian]

Authentic ramen is excellent

[JackOnPar]

You mean, some people don't?!?

[Spl4sh3r]

In the beginning I did not. However, lately I have begun to. Obviously I don't drink everything, but half or less maybe.

[quras]

Nope. Just way to much salt in one sitting.

[Detheavn]

Yes. it's the best part of instant noodles. That's why at home we call it noodle soup

[Deleted]

Thats the best part!

Yes, I typically only get the Chili Ramen and love it.

[Coolthulhu]

From proper ramen, sure. From instand ramen... well, I refuse to eat instant ramen to begin with.

[Elegiac]

I don't tend to use the flavoring packets in instant ramen, so no. I have Korean seasoning paste for that.

[Oakshana]

I do. it has stuff to keep me alive right?

The liquid? You mean the BROTH? Yes. But we make our own stock for making Ramen. The ingredients in those little packets tend to either have MSG, or WAAAAAAAY too much sodium in them.

Never ate ramen. I rather eat real food and not this poor asian people food.

Then you are missing out, because Ramen is amazing. And it's not a poor people food. A huge majority of Japanese consume Ramen routinely.

Also, try sounding less racist. Not saying you are... but damn, it came off that way.

Leave MSG alone. It never did anything to you besides make your food taste good.

We only eat good hearty AMERICAN food around here, boy! Burnt coffee, bland cheese, and unsalted potato products!

I don't get the question in the first place. The noodles don't taste, it's the broth that's taking on the good taste from the synthetical flavour.
Who is cooking spaghetti without any sauce?

When you cook instant ramen you're supposed to add the flavoring packets while cooking. The question is whether or not people drink the broth or just eat the noodles.

Well, lots of kids only eat spaghetti with just butter... but I digress.

People who only make base ramen with just the noodles and packets are missing out. Add cilantro, some meat (unless you are dirt poor, then I get it), crack an egg in it, add other veggies... done right, Ramen is a goddamn meal.

Here for a good time, not a long time!

The Irish invented the spice bag, so I forgive them for their potato related sins.

However, I do find it pretty interesting (re: obvious in hindsight) that the parts of the US with the worst food tend to be of primarily Germanic or Scandinavian descent.

No offense Central/Northern Europe, but your food kinda sucks.

This is true. I am only half Irish. My other half is Polish and god-damn people! Some of it is good, but there is a lot of really unhealthy fascination with cabbage that I do NOT understand.

There are two acceptable uses of cabbage as far as I am concerned; pot stickers, and kimchi.

My parents fed me too much Asian food as a child, and clearly it turned me into a rabid socialist homosexual.

Maybe @lonely zergling has a point? Who knows!

Jay....cup ramen taste good but it ain't no good for you bro, so much sodium....so much. So no it not keeping you alive its killing you, its killing me, its killing us.
