You know in Cairns ramen costs between $8 and $15 a bowl. A steak dinner
costs that much in a lot of places, sad really, the one redeeming feature of
the stuff and they get rid of it.

fast! LoL!

OOOOOH. AKA Pot Noodle in the UK, right? That puts a whole new spin on
things. I have lived on them in the past, and know a few tricks to turn them
into cuisine, a true mark of the (former) batchelor.
I was thinking of real ramen, which is soup with slices of pork and a few
vegies in it. The Japanese version of hamburgers.
