/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Ohio is a gastronomic wasteland, much like everywhere else between the Hudson River and the Diablo Range

I only eat at the most autentico hole in the wall warungs, paladares, 屋台, et bistrots. I arrive at such places by bicycle and I always attempt to speak with the staff in their native language

I do not "go out of my way" because I am not a vile cager who injects 4 kg of carbon into the atmosphere to show I've "made it"

Making real authentic ramen is a somewhat expensive - you need a menkiri bōchō in order to even make the noodles correctly. That is why in Japan people get it at a yatai instead of making it at home. It's cheap enough when you scale up production but it makes little sense to make only a few servings unless you just want to torture yourself.

My real advice for you if you want to eat a variety of things without having them shipped to you from all over the map is to study hard and move out of your provincial hell hole.

>I don't mean like COMPLETELY from scratch, but y'know, not instant ramen?

Why not completely from scratch?
