A prize worth winning

[yendi]

For being the one millionth visitor to the Instant Ramen Museum, a second-grader won a year's supply of chicken ramen.

Yes, a grand prize worth roughly $60. :-)

Which doesn't in any way imply I'm not jealous -- I love ramen (and, given the current state of the wallet, it's very much a staple of our pantry), and I definitely have to visit the museum someday.

But still. A year's supply of ramen? They could at least have thrown in some custom soup bowls or something.

Dude, there's a RAMEN museum?? I've visited the Spam Museum before, but I didn't know there was a Ramen one!
I want a year's supply of Ramen...

Well, it's in Japan, which makes the trip worth about a lifetime of the soup. :-)

The Spam one is somewhere in the Midwest US, I visited last summer...don't guess I'll go all the way to Japan for a Ramen museum though!

The MSG would, quite literally, kill me.

I wish I could eat ramen!

Is the msg in the noodles or just the powder? Because you could always make the noodles and then use different seasoning.

Hm, probably in the powder! I didn't realize the noodles were separate from the powder.

[yendi]

The one I made for 'song tonight listed it only in the powder (and all the ones I eat have the powder in a separate foil packet).

I need to write the Ramen cook book. I have a variety of tricks to make ramen and some meat and veggies a meal fit for a King. "Here buy, here Rex!" :)

There should be a market for it.
