Do you eat ramen noodles?

I haven't had any in a long time but funny thing...about a month ago when I went to the supermarket, there was a "wall" display of Ramen noodles. Never saw that many Ramen noodles in one place before.
 

For best part of 17 years I ate Ramen Noodles almost everyday overseas. We was overseas 10 months per year..... When I was offshore which was 6 to 9 months per year.....The food in the galley was not good to say the least. I would bring over cases of Ramen Noodles and I would make them in bowl with a top and make a soup with Tabasco and Red Pepper. I must have eaten hundreds if not into the thousands over the last 2 decades. Once I was onshore most of the time, I still ate the Ramen almost everyday even with ms gamboolgal cooking best she could with what we could get..... Mystery meat and food poisoning.....spewing out your eyeballs..... made the Ramen Noodles appealing for sure....

When your hungry and do not have food, you will adapt and appreciate what you can get. Including good drinking water.

Now that we are back in Texas, ms gamboolgal will not fix me any Ramen..... but she makes me homemade Yard Bird (chicken) and Rice and Beef Soups.

Thank God for Them Texas Gals...

After my 2nd divorce when I was first living alone in order to make it financially I spent those first few years eating lots of Ramen noodles and PBJ sammies. You do whatcha gotta do.
 
When things started going south financially at the nursing home I worked in I was worried I would have to go back to the Ramen and PBJ diet. My first thought was Oh God! It was at that point I ended up taking the job at the zoo and moving to wear I am now.

When times were lean for our family, I created a ramen recipe that everyone loved.

Half (or less) of the seasoning packets, and more water than the recipe called for. I'd cook the noodles and nuke plenty of veggies until tender-crisp. Combined them at the end (so neither the noodles nor the veggies were overcooked).
Served with sour cream and parmesan cheese. Soooooo good!

Sounds kinda good. I liked Pinky's recipe too. I wanna try that.
 
I never even heard of them until recently, but noticed that during the full pandemic lockdown, the shelves where they were displayed were as empty as those for toilet paper! o_O
