really? that's exceptional.....just remember the hidden names for MSG

MSG Gelatin Calcium Caseinate
Monosodium glutamate Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein Textured Protein
Monopotassium glutamate Hydrolyzed Plant Protein Yeast Extract
Glutamate Autolyzed Plant Protein Yeast food or nutrient
Glutamic Acid Sodium Caseinate Autolyzed Yeast


if you see any of these ingredients on the label...it contains MSG

Ok, thanks. :D

I was just wondering since they don't have to worry about the preservation and stuff like that.

i won't lie to you my man...it's very well possible but you hit the nail on the head...because they don't have to preserve taste it's probably unlikely....you gotta visit L.A. and go on a world wind japanese eating fiesta...

if i go to the japanese market sometime soon...i'll buy my fav instant ramen and maybe send you a bowl so you can sample ^_^

It actually said in big black writing "100% MSG free" So I took it as being so.... I should have photographed the wrapper lol.

I probably would have eaten it anyway, MSG or not. I've seen too many pictures without tasting already ;)

Seriously? a Ramen museum?

Unbelieveable!


Love the Schwarzenegger ramen. Does it give you big muscles?

yes, sir, it really exists in Yokohama....a relatively short train ride from Japan...on the way back to Tokyo we took the Shinkansen (bullet train) for the first and only time during our trip....smooth as glass and fast!



Unbelieveable!


the beauty of the ramen museum is the myriad number of ramen shops in the musuem that represent varying types of ramen from as far north as Sapporo, Japan to as far south as Kyoto, Japan.....a real treat for visitors.....

hahah the Arnold ramen was only on display dear sir...but i felt compelled to take a picture nonetheless. :)

You suck. :puppydog:

Last year I tried to organize an educational tour to Egypt for March break, but the board wouldn't approve it because they thought it'd be too dangerous. Nevermind that we had at least 20 people interested. :grumble: So I ended up switching the trip to Central Europe. I wish the board was more friendly and would allow trips to places OTHER than Europe.
