Can we just learn to communicate and realize that both are valid and I would join this group of noodly soup lovers?

We can, I just like goofing

I love both insta and properly made ramen.

the instant stuff that they have sushi & steak houses is REALLY good -- it's completely indiscernible from the "real" stuff sometimes.

Isn't this meme the wrong way round?

Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character is the philistine who would be on the instant noodle pot

Unless OP is saying instant noodle pots are the superior form, which I can't agree with, but I guess someone out there is gonna

I did an experiment once where i used the format "correctly" the way you and i understand it, and so many lemmings were confused. People on here tend to assume the woman is wrong.

I didn't realize the meme format implied judgment. I thought it just communicated the disconnect.

Honestly, it's just how I see most people using the meme

Depends on my mood. 95% of the time the ramen on the left is superior, but once in a while you get a hunger which only instant ramen can satisfy.

Maybe OP is Korean lol

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

You're right, but at first I thought the OP was trying to pull a fast one on us and the right was a picture of that super expensive restaurant ramen that serves in a shitty ramen cup.

took me a long time to realise what Americans meant by ramen. Especially when they considered it low budget food. Instant noodles are not really ramen

[-] MycelialMass@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

Says ramen right on the package bro

[-] dektep@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

yeah that’s the weird part

[-] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

I assume it’s a regional thing. “Instant ramen” are noodles or 2 minute noodles here. It’s rarely labelled as ramen and never called it.

From childhood I knew about ramen from anime and I knew about instant ramen from American media but I didn’t learn until later that they aren’t the same thing and instant reman is just 2 minute noodles.

I dream of eating good ramen, same with pizza and Miso soup, I'm sure they exists somewhere.

[-] Schemen110676@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

Ramen isnt difficult to make from the ground up...just takes ages

[-] Malgas@beehaw.org 4 points 1 day ago

Miso soup also isn't hard or very time consuming to make. Some of the ingredients can be uncommon depending on where you live, but nothing a local Asian market and/or some online shopping can't take care of.
