iberico bar: true lard leaves no traces

thumbnail imagethumbnail imagethumbnail imagethumbnail imagethumbnail imagethumbnail image

Anyone who knows me well will likely know of my affection for Spanish cuisine, a passion which rivals and in many ways, surpasses even my love for ramen. Admittedly, I don’t eat noodles nearly as much as I used to. A steady diet of Mediterranean influence - fish and tomatoes, olive oil and beans,has replaced a lot of my gonzo noodle slurping in recent months. In part this has to do with health; all those fats and carbs have to go somewhere, and as relatively young as (I’d like to think) I am, it’s never too early to cut back on the calories and perhaps spare a few arteries in the process.

Superheroes have sidekicks. Batman has Robin. Chuck Norris had a pint-sized Jonathan Brandis in - wait for it - the movie Sidekicks. The Green Hornet? Kato. Well, more like Kato had the Green Hornet. But you get my point. The charismatic star of the show usually has someone silent and deadly at his side, kicking ass and taking names. Even a superior bowl of ramen can only get half the job done if it doesn’t properly fill you up before you leave the restaurant. So what do you do? You order gyoza.

A few weeks back, journalist Adam Goldman interviewed me for an Associated Press article about the increasing popularity of ramen in the U.S. As I no longer work for a newspaper and don't have access to the AP database, I wasn't sure how I'd find the resultant article. Thankfully, site member tampopo put it up in the rameniac forums! Here's a link, courtesy of the Times and Democrat of Orangeburg, South Carolina. Hopefully, the day will come when every small town in America has a ramen shop (or two, or eight) to call its own!

Now I've seen everything. Faithful rameniac reader Delicious J sent in this tip about the world's smallest bowl of ramen, a nanometer-sized portion of ethanol soup and nanotubular noodles in a silicon "bowl" carved by professor Masayuki Nakao using a using a particle beam at the University of Tokyo. The bowl is apparently 1/100th the width of a strand of human hair. "Kaedama kudasai!" I'm gonna need extra noodles with that. And probably a side of gyoza.
