Yes Nissin was the ONE when we were kids. Our family favourites were the green shoyu packet, the purple garlic saucy one and of course, seafood XO because ~fancy~

You super fancy. We only got the seafood flavour when it was a treat.

No more ‘mountains of rice’ for you. Some dietician chick in Good Food today said so. Nearly fell out of my chair when I read it.

I feel like this person doesn't realise that civilisations were built on rice.

Love those things. I just bought a packet of the ramen today. I absolutely love them in oily soup too.

When you were growing up, did you ever have just a bowl of hot rice and a nugget of lard that would melt and ooze into the rice for flavour. Maybe a drop of soy or Maggi seasoning for an extra kick?

I did not, but now I wish I did. Guess what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow?

Your comments on "early immigrant" family life is soooo accurate. It takes me back to the early 70s. Love your work.
