I've never had oden, but I'd hafta agree...I've seen it prepared, they even had it on Dotch at least once....and I'm sure it's not as good as the oden you'd even find in a yatai (food stall/cart) on the street.

Interesting, though. I wonder if the pics are anything like the pics McDonald's use for their burgers? i.e. nothing like the actual product?

Dunno...but those canned foods must be saturated with chemicals and preservatives, man...I know in Japan they use a sh*tload of MSG in food you find at the grocery stores.....

Seriously. Man, if you were allergic to that ish, you could not shop casually at a Japanese grocery store....it would be a death trap.

wew... i never knew that. i always thought there's something, a sauce maybe, that makes them different.



about ramen. does ramen always use pork broth?? is there like a special ramen store that doesn't use pork broth? does veggie ramen use pork broth too? so when they use shoyu or shio broth, does that mean there's no pork added at all?

thx b4

Traditionally there are 3 types of broth that goes with ramen - meat (pork), miso, and clear (salty). Pork broth is more common in the colder regions, clear broth more of a Kantou (eastern) favourite, and for the life of me I can't remember what region favours the miso broth. Curry broth is the new kid in town and is being promoted widely.

P.S. Sorry to gross anyone out but the actual Serendipity restaurant in NYC was closed down last week by the Health Dept. Minor rodent problem. :shakehead: Hopefully it will clean up and open up again in time for the holiday season. :victory:
