> …adult calorie intake to drop… Thus, Ramen

• nox101 2y ago
  I guess this was a joke? But if not, fyi, ramen is from China. Sure, the Japanese have made it their own but even the Japanese don't list it in restaurant guides as Japanese food. There's a section for "Japanese food (和食)" and a separate section for "Chinese Food and Ramen" (中華閭里とラーメン) or it's in a separate category. It's still often called "Chinese Soba" (中華蕎麦） https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A1%E3%83%B3 https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A1%E3...

    Not a joke, but I should have worded it better. ‘Thus’ incorrectly implies invention, I meant it as consequence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramen#Post-war_popularization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramen#Post-war_popularization

    It’s funny that ramen is literally lamian (拉面), but the Chinese will distinguish between Chinese lamian and Japanese ramen in their own country, it is considered foreign food although it is easy to find the Chinese food it descends from.
