I sure would like more ideas for cheap, starchy, white-trash foods which we are CERTAIN our greedy U.N. friends will love.

A roommate of mine in grad school told me about something which happened to him in his sophomore year as an undergrad: He'd been assigned an Egyptian exchange student as a roommate who, on the morning of day 1 of registration for classes asked where the nearest grocery store was. The guy went out and registered for classes and came back to the dorm around noon and, lo and behold, the Egyptian roommate had just finished opening up a can of Alpo dogfood, took one bite with a spoon and then spat it out on the floor and shreiked:

Good HEAVENS, man, that's just AWFUL; what in the world do you people feed your dogs in this country?

and the guy thought about it for a couple of seconds, looked at the picture of Lassie and the words "DOG FOOD" on the can, and replied:

"OH! That means, food FOR dogs (as opposed to food made OUT OF dogs)..."

True story. Maybe that's what you need to bring to the UN.

I love that story. I'd hate to see that man being offered a box of Girl Scout cookies.

Hey, I just had another idea for cheap, starchy foods: Ramen! Lots and lots of dried out, 3-for-a-dollar, lice-infested, dusty cellophane bags of RAMEN!

TOP Ramen, in fact!

The really gross thing about ramen is those disgusting packets of dry flavoring you're supposed to add to the noodles after you've boiled them from their original stiff brick shape into a tasteless, starchy mass of noodle.

What is your favorite flavor of ramen?
