I've always joked (sorta) with Babs that if Wells Fargo and Schwab stole all our money an d went to Bolivia with it, we'd still be able to survive where we are, but we'd be on a pretty serious Ramen noodle diet.
They do sell a shitload of those things, but I can honestly say I've never eaten even one. Let's hope I never have to. I'm allergic as fuck-all to MSG.
8 goes into 95 almost 12 times, not 15.
ReplyDeleteSo you can't eat things like tomatoes, cheese etc as they contain MSG?
ReplyDeleteWhen my youngest was in middle school they had a food drive, and COUNT mattered to get some kind of award.
ReplyDeleteNo need to get any further with this. They changed the rules for the NEXT year.
That little sh.t was a genius back THEN and at 29 he still is. My pride and joy!
Was a "Guest of the State" for month back in my wilder days.
ReplyDeleteSoups (as ramen were called) were the basic means of trade between my fellow dirty criminals.
2 soups = small bag of pretzels...4 soups = Snickers bar...etc
Totally made those up because i don't remember the exchange rates but you get the idea.
The noodles don't contain MSG. The ingredient list is enriched wheat flour and a small amount of vegetable oil (from the frying). The soup packet (or prepared soups, not just the noodles alone) DO have MSG BUT YOU DON"T HAVE TO USE IT. Personally, I use the noodles, add my favorite soup base or soup stock and some diced leftover meat/veg for a fast cheap lunch. Just toss the flavor packet (and avoid the "cup-a-soup" style stuff) if you want to avoid MSG. This has been a go-to lunch at school/work for decades. Add an apple and a glass of milk or whatever and even today you'll have a decent hot lunch for under a dollar. Probably saved $1000+ a year in cafeteria lunches and fast food over 40 years.
ReplyDeleteX2 on tossing the flavor packet. There are several sites listing make-your-own packets that are much better tasting as well as better for you.
