Junk food addicts argue with health food nuts, asserting white bread to be the best. The health food nuts retaliate exclaiming about how much better store bought whole wheat bread is than white bread….

Unless it’s spicy, kimchi-flavour Korean ramen, I never bother with the seasoning packets. I dress up ramen with all sorts of things–it’s a good base for bits of leftovers, particularly vegetables. With veggies I might add a sprinkling of shredded cheese and my own seasonings–I don’t like it very soupy, but sometimes I might use a little organic broth. I’ve also put kimchi in ramen (I’m a kimchi ADDICT), shredded up veggie burgers, grilled and chopped portabella mushrooms… the list goes on and on.

One thing I ate when I was a desperately poor college student (I notice that’s a ramen theme here in your comments was tuna in ramen with a little bit of cheese and/or olives. My mother insists it’s “grouch food” (as in only the grouches on Sesame Street would ever eat it on purpose), but it’s surprisingly good and I even turned my sister on to it when SHE became a starving student.
