Ramen. I practically live on the stuff. But only Oriental flavor, the rest of them taste like crap.

Yes, oriental flavor. Made from genuine orientals. Yum yum.

Problem with that is, you're just going to still be hungry once you're finished eating them...

Oh, yeah. Spam kind of freaks me out, so I eat ramen. It's uber-cheap, and it tastes good, even microwaved.

Ramen is far far better. Not to mention you can also add stuff to the Ramen, like pieces of chicken, or bacon, or other meats.

I believe the oriental flavor is simply miso broth.

At any rate, Westbrae puts out this nice buckwheat ramen. Tastes great, although I haven't had it in a while. It's a little pricey compared to most instant noodle stuff - I think it was around $1.29 last time I checked.

Does anyone actually eat Spam? Wouldn't that qualify you almost immediately as being white trash?

I have a neighbor that eats it. He was a high school drop out, drinks himself to sleep everyday, smokes like a chimney, and really has nothing going for him. Not that any of that is bad, but he's an asshole. There is your spam eater... For fuck's sake, the product is used to describe junk on the net.

You know, I've never tried spam. I have tried those little Vienna sausages, though. Used to love them when i was 6...

You tend to eat really strange things when you're that age. I also had a taste for plain bread with just mayonnaise.

i actually like both of 'em. spam in large quantities might be awful but i don't mind it from time to time. especially thin sliced and fried. though either one in large quantities is detrimental. [size=0]yeah, i'm kinda weird like that [/size]

Spam Musubi is actually very good...

I'm pretty much in agreement with Darth_Zod. I've had lots of both before...

Plain bread and mayo is/was good, though. Vienna sausages always made me sick. Then again, I was one of those kids who ate dog treats. -shrugs-

Well, I'd imagine that spam, if you crumble and use it in small amounts in, say, scrambled eggs, it'd be fine.

But yeah, I wouldn't touch a spamburger with a ten-foot pole.

Actually, if you put in small spam cubes, cheese, milk, and some green chile, you have some really good scrambled eggs. Or an omelette, if you wish. 8)

I'd say Ramen, because I have an idea of what's in it.

I make a mean spomlette but I still prefere Ramen. Oh and spam is a psudeo acronym for Salt Pork And Ham (notice the lack of an H. Should be SPAH).
