Oh, I'm definitely lazy and cheap, so Ramen and Water gets the job done, lmao. I was raised on Hamburger Helper, and Cheese Dip with Chips, so I never had much of a taste for stuff.When I was around 20 or something, I was still living in Russia and we have sort of a national dish - pelmeni. It's like ravioli/gyoza/dumplings, but exclusively with meat. Just meat and dough. A meatball in a shell, if you will. So, naturally, they were a popular food among students, 5/2 workers and single parents - easy to cook, they fill your stomach nicely (cause meat), quick to make, pretty cheap and a great variety of them.
And someone told me once, that pelmeni is not the food of poor people, as it was so commonly misconstruded - it is the food for lazy people. And I think the same goes for instant ramen.
this isn't a personal attack or a critique of someone's diet, I just felt like sharing a small story and maybe some russian babushka genes has awoken in me and it pains my heart to see people eating absolute shite instead of normal fkn meals
Like, I find raw potatoes delicious. Not the most healthy lifestyle, but I ain't dead, so, oh well.
It's probably a big reason why I am actually more fond of Ami than others seem to be. She makes sure Sensei eats more than just garlic bread, which I find admirable.
