I just wanted to take a moment to publicly give my thanks to ramen. Yes, ramen. That wonderful Asian staple which has nourished me since my childhood. It’s really quite the perfect food, if you think about it. It can be fancy (if you’ve not fancied up your ramen, you’ve not lived), and it can be simple. It can be a meal or an ingredient. It’s one of the cheapest and most satisfying lunches around.

One thing my town here is severely lacking (on the really long laundry list of Shit This Town Doesn’t Have) is a good ramen shop. I don’t know if this is typical of most towns in the states, but I know this town doesn’t have one. Is it because America hasn’t yet opened it’s eyes to the magic of Ramen? Is it because America doesn’t give two shits about ramen? Are we not yet tired of the vareity of burgers and fries? Ramen can be as good as junk food and better for your body. It’s a great breakfast, a great lunch, and a great dinner! Ramen for the win! So, I’ll close with a haiku about Ramen:

Ramen. The best food.
Must have more ramen, right now.
The States needs ramen!
