Edil's instant ramen adventure #6: Sapporo ichiban miso ramen

A maybe vegan/vegetarian (I'm not reading the ingredients that closely) option!

These noodles didn't come with microwave instructions, so I put all the seasoning in and had it there for 6 minutes on high. I was a bit intimidated by this spice packet, the had the exact dimensions of a packet of silica gel

Upon opening it I found it was, in fact, spice and not, in fact, silica gel

The small amount of spice made me worry it would be POTENT the ramen is mild! And very flavorful

While the soup and the packaging look quite humble, I find myself very impressed with the taste and smell. I'll be eating these with fried eggs seasoned with garlic salt, but taste and small tests are being done separately. The texture of the noodles are as springy as desired, and the miso broth is banger, if a bit salty for my taste (this could be my fault and I should've added more water before cooking, which would likely fix the issue)

And giving the ingredients a closer look, this flavor is definitely vegetarian, (though may contain shellfish for allergen information) but I don't find myself wanting for flavor at all!

As someone who's lived with multiple vegetarians who have struggled for a good ramen option, I'm incredibly excited to tell them about this! I don't have any desire for spice with this Flavor, and can't think of the top of a specific sauce I can reccomend to go well with this for those who desire it, but it's definitely OK for those who aren't a spice fan, with or without the silica packet.

I do find myself taking the noodles out of the broth, though, just so they don't get overcooked, they are very absorbent. the flavor is still great, though I do prefer to eat out of the broth if possible.

A solid base that I think could easily be made into a proper meal with the addition of veg and protein, I'll have to give this an 8/10. It's a damn solid noodle! Personally, I might opt for the Shin chicken before this one more often than not, because a real spicy meal is rejuvenating, but I do think these are objectively better.

Available on Amazon for 1.50$ per serving, these are a good mid range noodle, that delivers solid flavor without the high price range veg packet additions (which I'm not really a fan of anyway. Its better to just add kimchi and whatever else fresh, if possible. Many of the dried additions don't cook well and taste bad) these are also pulling through in terms of affordability! The sodium content is 86% which may actually be the lowest I've seen thus far, and I'm inclined to agree with amazons 4.9/5 rating for these. While not the BEST noodle (as my scale is comparing for the best, and not individual noodle merit like the Amazon ratings) this one is damn good!

Might get an impulse tattoo today if there's a walk-in appt available and the flat rate isn't too expensive (the FALL RISK knuck tats I've wanted for ages) (The origins of this tattoo idea are I am always in the hospital and they always give me a FALL RISK wristband because of epilepsy and I thought it would be very funny to get as knuck tats) (They always give me two ALLERGY ALERT wristbands too but alas that doesn't fit as knuck tats)

good-ending!kakashi and itachi need to have a little former traumatized geniuses cooking club where they get comfortable with making little "mistakes" and putting imperfect dishes on the table and improvising without needing to explain themselves like it's life or death

Thing a friend just said

I think those old animal behaviorist studies that were trying to nail down the ways that animals were not quite at the human level were just like the fabricated racially-biased motivations behind early phrenology.

Ecofascism is "environmentalism" through the lens of blood and soil. It's about the "purity" of what you put in your body, of the people who own a land, and of the land itself. It's about not wanting to be "tainted" by "savagery" (note this is not nonviolence even if it tries to look like nonviolence). It's about land Belonging to white people and white people being entitled to a version of stewardship through dominance and blood ties. And at its core it's about ownership over nature and over the people who are degraded to be seen as less human and therefore "ownable". That's why ecofascists treat marginalized people as if they were invasive species.

Veganism is about nonviolence. That's it. It takes many forms but it is inherently about nonviolence and a REJECTION of ideas about any hierarchical nature of humanity or the earth. Veganism is not eating plant based because it's more "pure" or "wholesome" or even because it's less environmentally impactful on average. It's just a commitment to nonviolence.

How many of you claiming that veganism is ecofascism can actually list off the traits of ecofascism? Was my first paragraph the first time you've actually seen the word defined instead of just being used as a vague "veganism is colonialism because of [insert whichever factoid you wanna play telephone with this time]"? Was it the first time you heard an explanation of what it was past "well the maga shaman guy didn't eat meat so you connect the dots"? (which wasn't even true, he eats *organic* and that includes meat). Do you think you can identify and fight ecofascism without a working definition of the ideology? Let me clarify, I'm not even saying your definition is wrong. I'm saying you don't have one. If you don't actually have a model of what ecofascists BELIEVE IN to reference, do you think you can pretend to be an authority on how to fight them? The end goal of ecofascism is genocide justified as "fighting overpopulation" and "keeping the land under its rightful protectors. It has to be actively and competently opposed at all costs. You cannot be an activist on vibes alone. You certainly can be a reactionary though.

Let me sing to you the praises of peanut butter. It is the stuff of life, the daily bread that nourishes me morning, midday, and evening. The queen of breakfast, the leading light of lunch, the hero of dinner. Its smoothness and richness are unparalleled. One can only surmise it is what the Greek gods ate that gave them their immortality. It is a delight, a versatile icon, a plat du jour but for all the days, a reason to get up in the morning, and a shining beacon of deliciousness.

We met late in life, peanut butter and I, when I was already an adult, and what a shame it is. To have been deprived of this goddess during my childhood, not even knowing of its existence. But oh, will we make it to the end together.

In their modesty, these seeds that grow underground show us that the marvel of life need not come from up high, nor need to be complex. Simplicity is fulfilling too.

I've spent over four hours with a bunch of people, and I don't know most of them, and now it feels like my brain is trying to crawl out of my skull. Fun!

[medicinemane]

My stomach sounds like some manner of beast right now, just kind of "mhhhrmmhhbbhh"ing, like some sort of creature snuffling and grumbling

If I were the last surviving member of a failed expedition in the arctic I wouldn't choose to keep living there. Like, one main factor of doom was that there weren't plants around and after all that suffering you choose to keep living without leaves in your life? without fruits? without apples and oranges and peaches and berries? without vegetables? No more eggplants or peppers or corn or onions? No man, when I hear Ross talking about his shot of lemon juice to fight scurvy I'll remember how good even a green salad tastes and pack my bag. Rip Francis Crozier but I need garlic in my life

Ate instant noodles as breakfast for the first time. Cause anything filling feels/tastes unappetizing this morning. I shouldn't have only dipped my meat in cheese yesterday but it taste so good.
