Besides, it all started a few posts back, when I mentioned something about ramen noodles w/crickets for a teen-ager bird being weaned by his mother.<br /><br />Damn things were just nothing but tummy-filler, no real food value.Speedwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294062505751359294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380304323931971092.post-73800264196300372592012-06-21T07:14:39.486-05:002012-06-21T07:14:39.486-05:00Why would you want to try these things?

The "seasoning packet" for the flavor/soup had a list about 16 items long w/salt listed first and "lobster and shrimp flavors" 16th. The little pkt amounted to, at best, about a tsp. At least the chicken soup mix of my childhood had little bits of parsley flakes to add color, if not flavor.<br /><br />"Full-friend," huh? Well given the quality of the product I'd say a coarser interpretation of "circle friend" might br appropriate.Speedwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294062505751359294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380304323931971092.post-72531879316941073022012-06-19T02:30:14.209-05:002012-06-19T02:30:14.209-05:00Good God, that's a horror story, Speedway.

I'm glad I'd finished my breakfast before I read it.<br />Their price reminds me of the line in Steely Dan's "Babylon Sisters":<br />'Like a Sunday in TJ,<br />It's cheap but it's not free …"<br />I doubt you can pick up the same things you might pick up in Tijuana from these noodles but I'm pretty certain I wouldn't want to put them in my mouth. I wonder what "lobster and shrimp flavors" are made from. On this side of the pond manufacturers are not allowed to say things like that; they have to list the full chemical soup, which is most off-putting.<br />Many thanks for your educational post. I shall be queasy all day thinking of it. Hee hee.<br />Oh, and maruchan means "circle-friend" though it can also mean "full-friend" whic might reflect the bloated feeling from all that powdered weirdness in your tummy.divehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938980502783421961noreply@blogger.com
