Alright, I've had a million kinds, but most of them I've forgotten.

Note: all chicken flavor unless otherwise specified.
Note: I'm NOT talking about the kind that already comes in a cup.

Maruchan - Mmmm.

Sapporo Ichiban- Mmmmmm

NeoGuRi (RaMyun (korean ramen)) - "Seafood and Spicy" flavor. Smelled like sushi. Pretty spicy, I could only use half the flavor packet. Interesting flavor.

Some Vietnamese kind that came in a variety pack I ordered. Seafood flavor. This was the best ramen I've ever had, but I forgot the name. ****.

Alright that's all I can think of right now. What else would you recommend or recommend against?

Well sh*t we just get the meat and potato flavors here

Chicken
Beef
Pork
Shrimp

I had oriental flavor the other day and that was pretty good. I think the trick is, is to not add too much water.

Been eating this cr@p for about 30 years, so I'm a bit sick of it. But if you must - I would suggest Sapporo Ichiban or Doll brand. A few drops of sesame oil, chili oil, and last nite's leftovers makes for a nice meal.:)

my buddy frys the noodles up in oil along with veggetables and stuff after cooking them. he says only to use one type of oil (can't remember which) and he's got a hole list of sh!t he puts in if he has it. he says it tastes like lomein. ghetto fabulous if you ask me.

The chicken doesn't taste anything like chicken, the beef tastes nothing like beef, but the oriental tastes just like oriental. Really.:D

I have no idea what one is, but they obviously don't do oatcake flavour, so count me out.

They're packaged noodles, dried ones so you don't need to cook them long. Not very high on quality, but hey, they cost pocket change, so its the choice noodle of the monetarily challenged.

Not one of you said Kung Fu Ramen.
Actually, it sux, probably the nastiest cottonseed oil you can find in any ramen, but that name - don't tell me you wouldn't buy it at 6 for a buck...

From The Sentinel, 1892:

"Oatcake(oat-cake): An 18th century Tunstall phenomenon. Oatcake has become the accepted standard working class/coal-mining food of choice. Whether you are tired of potato mush, or you need something that doesn't contain maggots, Oatcake is the perfect food. It is cheap, easy to make, and it tastes better than maggot pie, with HP sauce as an added bonus."

Somewhere out there, some b*stard is ripping off Oatcakes.....

I bet oatcakes are okay, but ramen is the perfect food. It's up there with nectar and ambrosia

Whats this I hear about RAMEN-DO.

It claims to be the only true and pure ramen, but it only vaguely looks like ramen and tastes like sh!t.

My comment was supposed to be a p!ss-take of the Official Ramen Homepage's blurb on Ramen.

Which none of you have read. I've failed once more.........
