I like those "cup of Ramen" I dont like the little fake meat pieces in them but the veggies that are in there make it better.. and its easier to make. I have them stocked up just in case something may happen and i really need them, and on occasion ill make myself a cup
It is definitely because they are cheap. I don't think they're particularly bad but I don't think they're all that filling either so I opt not to eat them on a regular basis.
4. There's sort of an obsession with "foreign foods" in the United States, particularily those from Europe and those from "Eastern Cultures". I'd like to be able to just attribute this to crazed wannabe japanese anime fans, but the truth is that this actually goes way back to the 50s-60s or so with the whole Chop Suey and Chinese Takeout craze. Anyway, although Ramen doesn't exactly represent the height of Eastern Cuisine, the fact that it's Asian-esque, Cheap, and Easy to make makes it quite popular.
