CJ Tries Something Korean: Chinese Noodles

Now it's time for "CJ Tries Something Korean", the part of the blog where CJ tries something Korean.




United Airlines Chinese Noodles

Whiles these noodles are not really Korean, I did aquire them on the flight over. Because I was too busy sleeping off my Dramamine-induced haze, I wasn't totally awake when the stewardess came forward and gave me the bag with this, a fork, and some cookies. I was awake enough, however, to notice the cookies and think about how nice those would be after my nap. So I kept the entire packet in my bookbag and didn't notice until tonight that I still had some noodles!


Score!


The noodles themselves are basic Ramen fare. Texture, taste, etc. The only real distinguishing feature is the large chunks of meat that I found when I opened it back up after four minutes of stewing in boiling water.




The problem is that the meat was a weird sort of fish. Ugh. The intial tastes were terrible; who wants to eat fish-tasting noodles? Well, the Chinese evidently do, because United has given me their food, but I do not. But because I am lazy and didn't want to cook anything else, I ate some more, and some more, until I realized that the taste grows on you if you don't mind eating a few bites.


Overall Score:


2.5/5

Dramamine! I should have taken some of that on my international flight. What a brilliant idea. Fishy ramen...not such a brilliant idea. We need to eat ramen this year (before I graduate from college without fulfilling this necessary requirement).
