I think big countries just tend to be fundamentally defective unless they have a very intricate sort of government of a specific kind. Big countries tend towards grand nationalism more than small ones, like France of course does way more than any of the countries next to it except Germany in the past, and nationalism tends to be used to paper over social problems. One of the reasons France has miserable banlieus, and the UK similarly has unsightly neighborhoods full of trash everywhere, is that they're very much top-down societies with a small, arrogant elite in the capital drowning out all other voices. Citizens of big countries also tend to be more ignorant of the outside world and so on.

I drain 90% of the water out of my cheap, lovely ramen and put the seasoning packet in afterwards, only leaving enough water for the powder to dissolve. It makes the flavor more intense, and I love the stickiness of the noodles. It's the little things when you're rear end-deep in poverty!

I will stan microwave ramen. It’s delicious enough for being 1.50 for a twelve pack, it’s not terrible, and you can make it decent if you add some poo poo

It was literally a couple of years after my discovery of instant ramen before I discovered that most people don't do this. I haven't had one in probably over ten years, but I've still got a soft spot in my heart for the little styrofoam "Instant Lunch" with its janky little peas and carrots and etc. There was something really comforting about waiting for the hot water to work its magic.

You guys are all morons. You need all that water in there so you can crack an egg and swirl it in. It's like ramen egg drop soup, it's delicious and healthier.

Bag of vegetables, a bit of oil, some soy sauce, and some noodles. Good dinner, decent sized, costs like $1.

No one has had ramen until they make it with crushed nacho doritos, some beef sticks, hot sauce, and pickle juice. All boiled up in the Doritos bag in the hot water kettle on the floor of your tank in county lock up. No really, you haven't had Peak Ramen until you've had spread.

I never really liked ramen, no matter what you put in it. I don't dislike it, but it doesn't do much for me. I actually prefer plain white rice with nothing but salt for my "i'm low on money and/or depressed and need to eat something" go-to food. If you're feeling fancy you can add some butter to it. Or pepper.

Egg in ramen is the only instance I'll eat it with more than the bare minimum of water. But in that case, I go ahead and add any vegetables I might have on hand, like bok choy or green onions. I'll add a bit of Maggi sauce too. This is a decent way to get nutrition out of your noodles.

I'm pretty sure spread only tastes good when you're half starved and remarkably bored. But godDAMN does it taste good when you need it. As a street food I can only see it working outside of the shittiest nightclubs. I'd buy it after too much booze, for sure.

Realtalk I like getting the decent quality ramen from the asian market and throwing kimchi, fish balls, egg and scallion and chili oil in there. Good as gently caress but I only eat ramen once in a while, because the sodium content is so off the charts crazy, I'm scared I'm gonna die after eating it. One pack of ramen is 85% of your daily sodium intake before you even add anything.

Scallions and spring onions are the same plant but they aren't exactly the same thing. Scallions are harvested earlier and do not have a bulb like spring onions do.

mind the walrus posted:I like calling my dog a "wrapped scallion" as a pun on rapscallion and thus prefer scallion solely on that basis We oughta have a "post and explain your pets' convoluted-rear end nicknames" thread. I just adopted a new cat about a month and a half ago, and in choosing her name, tried for something relatively short and with vowel sounds distinct from the other cat's name, and yet I'm already spinning that into rococo multi-syllabic nonsense, because I am a cat owner and of course.

When I worked at Chinese restaurants scallions were the bottom, thicker parts of the onion stems chopped small and green onions were the top more leafy tube part, chopped long. Shallots are an entirely different thing^^^that thing but good.

yeah I eat rear end posted:what i've always wondered is what a shallot is Depends what country you're in. Spring onions/scallions/shallots are one of those things that has about six different names in different English-speaking countries. And in some of those countries the different names refer to different things or different parts of the same thing.

Atticus_1354 posted:That's a red onion not a shallot. This is what I think of with a shallot and afiak every grocery store in America would agree.  But tbf it appears he got that from the shallot wikipedia page and it's the first thing that comes up when you google shallot. But yeah that just looks like a red onion to me too.

He might be using the stalks then? I dunno I have never seen a shallot with the stalk for sale but it looks sort of like a green onion stalk. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallot#/media/File:Shallot_whole_plant.jpg

Usually I only see him dumping them already cut up in to the pot so I don't know, but they look tiny like when you cut up a scallion. Not like those oval mini-onions wikipedia says is a shallot.
