I just had to butt in. Ramen used to be a staple of family dinners when I was a kid and had softball practice in the evenings (or my brother had baseball). It's quick and easy and all that. We often had it with sandwiches. And we made it the "American" way, keeping the water and making soup out of it. It's still one of my favorite kinds of soup, despite everything.
My husband, when he was in school, ate a lot of the stuff, but he basically skipped all the steps. He ate the noodles raw out of the package. Scary, isn't it? But it was apparently one of the main staples of his diet for a few years. It's a wonder he's still around to tell about it.
What about peanut butter and banana sandwiches, or bologne and relish sandwiches?
