Mexico is now the world leader in instant noodles.

What's the true verdict? I always see them at stores but haven't tried them.

Instanoods are the only junk food I eat with any regularity so trust me when I say that these noodles are fucking awful.
You ought to be ashamed.
That said, I'd be happy to try any other Mexican ones you might recommend but those just aren't very good.

It was all over once this came out, decades ago.

>>21467782
Let me put it this way: I saw them BOGO at Dollar Tree. I went in there to buy cheap popcorn (where else am I going to get popcorn kernels a buck a pound?) and saw they were selling them 2 for $1.25. I guess the store bought a bunch, nobody was buying them and they needed to make space for the better stuff. So I bought one, tried it and want much a fan.
If ever you're at Dollar Tree, they've a store brand, Norita, that make a decent instant tonkotsu, just be sure to remove all three seasoning packets from the bowl before adding water.
They used to carry Twisted Noodle Company but stopped last year in my area. They're surprisingly good AF for a noodle made in Wyoming or one of the Dakotas or wherever they're based
>>21467784
I miss the crab and lobster ones. I lived in the US in the early 90s, my dad came home with both one day and they were by far my favourites. We moved back to yurp then when I returned in the later 90s, they were discontinued. Fucking shame.
Of the stuff available now, those Raoh ones are the best. I stocked the motherfuck up when GrossOut had them for 33¢/pk last year. They're usually $2something each

>>21467782
They're like the Japanese ones, except they're good.

i'm gonna SLURP

they were simply too hot for me, like that korean ramen

>>21467772 (OP)
I genuinely predicted this like 7 years ago. I know I have a screenshot of it but I can't find it. But I predicted this birria nonsense a decade ago. Nigger it's just the leftovers when you use an isntapot.

>>21468062
I don't know what a birria is. All the flavors they have taste good.

>>21468074
Why do you lie? Just admit you are a faggot posting memes a decade late.

Why is there a blue eyed white guy in a Mexican baseball cap on the package? It looks like Timmy wearing a Halloween costume.

>>21468102
Ya know how japs all draw themselves as white with big colorful eyes and blond hair? Mexicans are the same

>>21467784
I miss the reduced fat ramens they made in the 90s. They had a different texture. Long gone now.

>>21468108
Except I've actually seen white Mexicans and personally know one who is strawberry blond with green eyes. They don't generally cross the border into Lardmerica because they're doing fine where they are. The brown ones go to Fatistan out of desperation. If they were living a decent life in Mexico, they'd stay there.
The same is true of all the various south-of-the-border browns. They're are natural blondes in most-to-all of those countries but, again, they don't generally leave, except maybe for school, cuz they're doing fine there.
The guy I know, by the way, only lived in the US for uni. He's back munching tacos in his homeland.

>>21468102
Everyone knows that the ruling caste in Mexico is white. What most people assume is that they are Castillo's from the 1600s. But that is a lie. Santa Anna imported the modern class of Mexican Jews to help him fight his slavery rebellions.

>>21468119
Those are the whites who moved to Mexico and stayed. There are whole communties of white Spanish speaking Euopean "Mexicans" who descend from the white Europeans who went to Mexico in the 1800s-1900s. hey're Europeans, not Mexicans. Real Mexicans are brown because of their Indigenous ancestry.

nood bowl is fine, not mid but fine

>famous food company licenses its branding to some literally who to produce a completely different food item
This shit is always shit. There's literally not a single example where it's actually good. It's always discount slop marked up for the branding. That's the whole business model - sell the brand itself and hope it's enough to fool a few retards. Which it evidently has.

>>21468087
Fuck off, pedophile scum.

>>21468119
lol, you're a retard.

>the reason people flee their nations for the USA is the pigment of their skin. Fairer skinned people from below the border "do just fine" because of their looks. They have no poverty because they are less dark.

Wow. Dumb.

>>21468387
that escalated pretty quick lol

>>21468390
lol you're dark brown

>>21468390
Yes, that's how Latin America works. Same with India, Southeast Asia, and anywhere else different skin tones mix. What is the issue?
>in b4 zimbabwe or south africa
It used to be that way there too until the whole world dismantled it.

>>21468387
Where do you wanna know he's scum?
He could just as well be a pedophile saint.

>>21468129
Fun fact, retard: they're citizens of Mexico and unlikely to be citizens if any European country IE they're Mexicans and you're wrong.
>>21468390
Jesus, your very, very stupid. Let me work it out for you in the most minute detail: the lighter skinned people in those countries tend to be the ruling class. No matter the nation, the ruling class didn't generally leave. Glad to have spelled that out for you, Corky. : )

>>21468468
Citizenship isn't ethnicity.

why do mexicans like tapatio so much

>>21468489
>Tapatío is an American hot sauce produced in Vernon, California. It is popular in the United States, predominantly among Mexican-American communities.
Cause they hate Mexico and wish they were white Americans.

>>21468479
That's nice, dear. Irrelevant, but nice. : )

>>21467782
they suck
Tastes like regular cheap ramen with hot sauce added. It just doesn’t work. If you want spicy noodles, get buldak. If not, get nissin raoh.

>>21468498
How is it irrelevant? Is a Chinese person with Mexican citizenship ethnically Mexican? No. Just like a white European with Mexican citzenship isn't ethnically Mexican.

>>21468512
NTA but new world countries build their identities based on immigration, not any particular ethnicity. Particularly in Latin America where people don't hypenate their origins (Irish American, Arab American, etc.)

Once you assimilate and adopt the customs you can consider yourself a member of that nation/ethnicity. I mean Peru had a Japanese Peruvian president, Argentina has had Irish, Croatian, Syrian presidents as well as the ubiquitous Italians, Brazil had a Hungarian descendant, and Mexico had Vicente Fox who IIRC was also of Irish descent. The richest guy in LatAm is a Syrian-Lebanese Mexican.

To name a few examples.

>>21468519
not even going to bother looking them up to see that they're all at least half jewish except maybe the japanese guy but he probably was too

>>21468519
>shitholes in the jungle that needed to be colonized to be anything more than little villages have high caste people as leaders
you don't say

>>21468519
So the native Latinx have been so completely dominated and colonized by everyone else that they don't have any sort of identity. It seems like the natives can't compete with the colonizers.

>>21468525
Literally none of them are Jewish, I avoided Jewish examples on purpose to avoid this thread becoming more infested by /pol/ shit.

Americans seem to think immigrants only went to their country. Euros migrated to all of Latin America (particularly Argentina, Uruguay and South Brazil, but also Mexico, Cuba, Chile, etc.). Same with Syrians and Lebanese. And some of the largest Japanese diasporas are in Brazil and Peru.

So the concept of nationhood was based on being able to assimilate different peoples.

>>21468529
Anon discovers colonialism

Yes a immigrant with a profession fresh off the boat was better suited to outcompete an illiterate native working as peon on some farm.

>>21468537
This can also be said of Americans, is this a self-own?
Identity was built from the merging of different peoples

>>21468541
nah I don't even have to look now I'm definitely sure they are ethnically jewish even though you tried to cherry pick them

>>21468541
I don't get it. Why do the white Euro mutts run the countries when they're the minority compared to the brown Indigenous mutts?

>>21468547
The Native American identity has always been completely seperated from the European colonizer identity. There isn't such a seperation in Latin America for reasons we all know.

>>21468549
OK

>>21468550
That depends on the country. It's no so clear cut. Paraguay for example has no Euro elite, nearly everyone is mixed. The only Euros you can find there are poorfag mennonites that live in their religious communities.

In Argentina lots of elite types tend to be criollos (castizos of colonial roots) whereas most Euros joined the middle and upper middle class. Working class are either brown or meds. But this is a general trend and not an absolute rule, you can find blonde blue eyed people in all social classes even trashy ghetto type people like vid related, a white nigger. And upper class browns. There was a lot of social mobility particularly in the past.

IDK about Mexico but I don't think it's as clear cut now. Benito Juarez was indigenous as fuck and he was already calling the shots 150 years ago.

>>21468553
Yes color is more of a gradient in Latin America. But there are plenty of indigenous people that keep the language and traditions.

>>21468558
>>21468560
Is this why Pedro Pascal is so popular instead of a more Indigenous Latinix looking actor?

>>21468585
Pedro Pascal is not really a "Chilean actor" in the sense that he became popular in America he's a Hollywood actor. IDK why the Hollywood nepo elite latched onto him. Mexico does have a big obsession with white actors and soap opera stars which is weird but I think they are getting over it. You can find all sorts of actors in Latin American cinema (not Hollywood, Latin American) these days.

But anyway going back to the original point yes a Chinese can totally become Mexican, same as in America.

>>21468598
>IDK why the Hollywood nepo elite latched onto him.
Because he can pass as white and comes from Spanish aristocratic stock?
>a Chinese can totally become Mexican
Can a Mexican become Chinese?

>>21468606
>Because he can pass as white and comes from Spanish aristocratic stock?
But that's an American issue, he did not emerge from Latin American cinema, he jumped straight to Hollywood. Meanwhile pic related emerged from Mexican cinema, from a Mexican director. So I don't see your point.

Latin America is not monolithic, some societies are quite stratified and some aren't as much but regardless of that, Pedro Pascal emerged from Hollywood so it's not really related to anything.

>Can a Mexican become Chinese?
IDK you'd have to ask a Chinese person. I don't think China has an identity built on birthright citizenship but I might be mistaken.

>>21468471
Would it be wrong to eat these with the water like a soup or does it have to be drained? I just got some for free for the first time in my life

>>21468489
I like Valentina's more tbqh

>>21468614
You don't know why Pascal and other white passing Latinx actors make it in Hollywood and why primitive looking Indigenous Latinx actors like your picrel nobody knows don't make it? Now I know you're being a liar on purpose. Pretending a Chinese can be a Mexican but you don't know if a Mexican can be a Chinese is some real mealy mouthed socialist bullshit.

>>21468512
>ethnically Mexican

That's not really a thing, being mixed(mestizo) regardless of proportions of the admixture has been the "ethnic identity" since the abolition of the race based casta

>>21468648
>You don't know why Pascal and other white passing Latinx actors make it in Hollywood
I don't understand your point. Hollywood picked up this actor. He's Chilean, he's not Mexican. A whole different country. And he is not related to Latin American cinema, he jumped straight to Hollywood, so if you were trying to make a criticism of Latin American cinema it doesn't work either.

I think you chose Pascal because he's the only actor you could name since you are out of your element and just talking nonsense.

>and why primitive looking Indigenous Latinx actors like your picrel nobody knows don't make it?
She became famous from a Cuaron movie and made it to the cover of Time Magazine. Hardly a literally who.

>Now I know you're being a liar on purpose. Pretending a Chinese can be a Mexican but you don't know if a Mexican can be a Chinese is some real mealy mouthed socialist bullshit.
I don't decide Chinese laws. I don't know how any of this stuff works in China. How is that lying?

>>21467772 (OP)
>one cup means it's the leader
you're odd.
just pour ortega taco sauce onto drained maruchan chicken ramen.

>>21468663
I choose Pascal because he embodies the "white latinx are elevated above brown latinx" idea which is what this thread has been about. The dang Tapatio Latinx logo man is a white blue eyed guy with a European facial structure.

Who is Cuaron and who is she?
And no one under the age of 50 reads TIME magazines.

Mexicans and Chinese can't magically transform into each other. There are real physical and cultural differences between Chinese and Mexican people. Pretending there isn't any difference and anyone can just be Mexican is ridiculous and disrespectful to both cultures. Citizenship isn't ethnicity.

Did you really think this was a gotcha? lmao
There's a Mexican restaurant in my area owned by a Japanese Mexican couple. No, it's not that one is Mexican and the other is Japanese. They're both Mexicans of Japanese background. And I've got a friend who's a Chinese Colombian. No, he's not mixed Colombian and Chinese. His parents are chinks who emigrated to Colombia from Macau. He doesn't even speak Chinese, just Spanish and Inglés lmao

And there's no such thing as "ethnically Mexican," you fucking retard. I guess Mayas and Nahuas are suddenly the same ethnicity because you're too fucking stupid to know they even exist in the first place. Let's toss Quechuas in there, too, despite being from a different country on a whole 'nother continent lol
I find it hilarious that lardgolems are the first to bitch and moan at me when I say I'm half American because my dad, who is also half American, was born and raised in Brooklyn to a half American father (yup, Grandpa is also half American lmao) and Kazakh-born mother because "American isn't an ethnicity" but then they think Mexicans are a single, unified race. It's yet another example of fatmericans and their bizarre, fat misunderstanding of the world around them.

>>21468632
You can do that but it's gonna be bland if you don't put more seasoning cause the ones included are meant to season only the noodles. Try it dry first.

Anon, I'm not a toddler. I'm not shocked by someone saying nigger on the internet. I'm questioning the competence of the janny squad when 50+ posts in a thread about instant noodles on a cooking board are two /pol/tards arguing about if Mexico is secretly controlled by blonde haired blue eyed Jews. It seems like competent jannying would see those posts removed and those users banished to /pol/ where their sperging is more on topic.

>>21469196
There was an outright /pol/ thread recently that went on for a very, very long time. A whole day, iinm. I kept reporting every post to no avail. They need to add a new category for reports "keep /pol/ in /pol/"
They did it for ponies and that shit ain't nearly as damaging as this shit is.

That wasn’t even remotely the argument being had, you thread Mongolian.

>>21469864
I didn't feel compelled to closely read the /pol/tard's schizoposts. I don't care about politics and didn't come to the noodle thread on the food board to discuss politics. I just want /pol/ to fuck off back to /pol/. It doesn't belong here.

>>21469917
See >>21469200
You and I are very much in agreement. I even tried to foster further discussion by asking yesterday in >>21467783 if there were other Mexican noodles I could try. But of course, the post goes ignored because it isn't ranting incoherently about whatever the current bogeyman is.

>>21469200
>I kept reporting every post to no avail.
that's called report abuse and it's against site rules

>>21469968
Mexicans don’t have noodle dishes. They’re not a noodle people. The closet they have is cut up hot dogs in spaghetti.

>>21469990
Is it? Where in the rules does it say so? And why was >>21469200 baleeted?
>>21470021
I meant more on the instant noodle side of things. I see those Mexican guys at supermarkets absolutely obliterate the shelves of spicy Korean noodles. Surely, they've got some Mexclusive noodles all their own. Fucking Poland has their own varieties of instanoodles for crying out loud

>>21468632
>Would it be wrong to eat these with the water like a soup
You're supposed to mix all the seasoning/oil together in a bowl and add the noodles after you drain them. That's part of the reason why Indo Mie are better than other noodles: the flavoring is less concentrated because they don't have to take dilution into account.
As >>21469133 said, if you add the seasoning while the noodles are still in the water it'll just taste like nothing.

>>21470386
yes you jews have been trying to mass murder everyone for centuries, we know, glad you're really incompetent

>>21470280
as in exclusive flavors of foreign brands? yeah those are a thing

Reporting people who break rules is not "report abuse". The fact that this thread is still full of /pol/ garbage just shows how useless the janny squad is.

Bruh when you stop having very narrow view you will realize how many "brown" people are around you, physical features outside of skin color are easy to grasp

>>21467784
Maruchan will never be defeated. Just don’t get the soy sauce flavor, that shit is ass

growing up in the southwest US has its benefits. Mexican grocery stores always have a bazillion instant noodle flavors so I get the choice of living like a king of the dorm room well into my 30s if I so please. Added benefit I can finally afford to do them up like picrel always wanted me to

>>21467782
