Maruchan brand "Roast Chicken" flavor is a big fave of mine. Y'know, until I finish the third one out of a box from Sam's, and try to figure out who to fob the rest of 'em off on. ;')

(Seriously, I found these on the shelf at a local Chinese grocery recently, and it was so goofy I had to take a photo.)


That goes in my collection of bizarre products that make me laugh - except this is the first real one.

Do the Noodle Dance.

One of my favs. My 4 year old daughter does the noodle dance. She's too cute to be believed!

I had a friend in college who, when stoned, would sprinkle the uncooked ramen noodle block with the dry seasoning mix, then place it between two slices of white bread and eat it.

Now THAT is stoned. I was partial to a Yogi's Roast Beef and Cheese sub until I went into the carryout place and saw them change a baby on the counter.

I once ate a whole pound of peanut butter.

Got to admit- I never tried eating the raw Ramen block. It'd be like eating a seasoned furnace air filter.

My daughter and my wife both take a Ramen block, break it up into chunks, sprinkle the powder over the chunks, and eat them that way. Yuck.

Never heard of Yogi's. Do they serve their food in a "pic-a-nik" basket? :-)

Nothing wrong w/noodles by themselves. I munch on a few before I actually cook the stuff.

But no, I've never bothered (yet) eating a whole block. It wouldn't make me sick but I think I might be bored enough by the experience (cardboard?) that I'd never eat Ramen again.

ROFL! Oh, man, that's hilarious. The "foods" themselves are jaw-dropping, but the guy's writing really makes it classic.

Meanwhile, for drinks to wash that down with (and more ROFL commentary): Crazy Asian Drinks. That first page doesn't look like much, but click the links down the left-hand side for the taste-testing reviews of the individual drinks. Check out Pocari Sweat ("looks like a sumo wrestler wrung out his diaper moisture into a glass") or Young Coconut Juice With Jelly ("the jelly bits -- like sea monkeys raping my uvula"), then work your way through the rest. And yes, these are real products.

Also check out the Gallery of Regrettable Food, culinary horrors from cookbooks of the 40's, 50's, and 60's:

You might crush poor Lileks' site with hits from FR.
A couple years ago he was featured in Entertainment Weekly and almost went under.
