Anyone into noodles?

Oh dear lord. Potnoodles. The ultimate in sad bachelor junkfood!
Staple diet of impoverished students, especially the beef-flavoured variety that comes with its own sachet of ersatz tomato ketchup.
there are varieties available at health food stores, such as Whole Foods, which are actually quite good for you and contain miso and tofu.
The Ramen Song…
does anyone remember a film about a guy who survived, if I can recall correctly, a year just on McDonald’s foods?
at the end of the year, presumably he died from gherkin poisoning?
woe is me
I like TV dinners also…actually love them… 
Tak, that film is called “Supersize Me.” The guy, Morgan Spurlock, eats only McD’s for I think about 3 months(?) and modifies his lifestyle to reflect other “average American” habits, such as reducing his daily amount of walking.
His health and weight go to pot, but the experiment is a little extreme.
Um…my name is Nano, and I’m a noodleholic.
Noodles can be great, but not - horrors - Cup O’ Noodles
We usually keep a stock of various flavors of asian instant noodles on hand for times we don’t feel like cooking or want a quick snack. Though we’ve found a few brands we don’t like at all, most of the asian brands are considerably better tasting than the US equivalents. I’m fond of “Szechuan Chef” brand, but there are many others equally good.
Hint: go for the blocks of noodles with separate spice and stock packets inside the cellophane wrapper - the flavors are much fresher.
I’ll admit that we’ve got an advantage - we live in an area with lots of asian markets, and my wife reads Chinese.
Udon is the ultimate noodle for me. I like it in steaming chicken broth, with some thin-disk-sliced green onion dropped in at the last minute.
On the opposite side of the pasta divide, there’s rigatoni, stuffed with a mixture of herbed ground beef and mozzarela, covered in a spicy tomato sauce, and baked as a casserole.
Dagnab it! Now I’m hungry again! 
(Even when we do use ramen and such, we never use the “flavor” packets, which seem to be 98-percent salt.)
Anyone familiar with an Italian restaurant in Cleveland called Il Giardino d’Italia? Hector Boiardi, their internationally renowned chef, came up with a recipe for an exquisitively robust yet delicate Italian-style noodle that has a quality that cannot be described. A fine complement and partner to his red sauce.
Ummmm… this isn’t the Ramen Song I’m familiar with. 
Wyobadger (a board member who used to post here) wrote a real great song about ramen noodles. Don’t recall all the words off the top of my head… maybe Beth would remember.

I love noodles but I make my own. I do have a pasta machine to run the dough through. I just had pasta with a creamy garlic and shrimp sauce. I also buy pasta but I prefer the homemade. I always make my own sauces though.

broad rice noodles. oh psyche…
I’m still working through my surplus of ramen noodles (the evil beef flavored kind. chicken = yumm!), which I’ve had for several months now. 
They really are the staple diet of a college student.

Noodle are the best. Top ramen, maruchan ramen, cupanoodles, ill eat it all. yum yum yum!
My youngest daughter and I are noodle fanatics. We made some homemade fettuccini alfredo for her birthday last year. Made the noodles and everything. It turned out better then any I’ve ever had.
I once put Raman noodles in a thermos with hot water thinking I’d eat them for lunch. Bad idea. By lunch time they had turned into an unappetizing goo.
Martin, I was touched by that tender melody.
Where has Wyobadger been anyway?
Tak, you’re making me hungry!!!
When I lived in Japan, my apartment was right above a ramen shop. It was alright, but there was a much better place right up the street…If you’re ever in Ise, Japan, “Tonteki Ramen-ya” is the place to go. All these bosozoku (biker punk) guys used to hang out there. I’d go there at about three or four in the morning after a wild night of dancing and drinking and chill with the biker dudes over a heaping bowl of miso or kim chi ramen.
Aaaa…Natsukashii…Moo ichido tabetain ya de!!!
