Happy Saturday, everyone! We hope you got through the week with all your bits and pieces still connected and without getting fired. But before you go off and start being nice to people now that you have a day off, let’s argue about food.
This week we’re talking about soy sauce-based ramen and miso-based ramen – two firm favourites in the world of delicious, soupy noodles and each with legions of fans. But of course, as Sean Connery and Christopher Lambert told us in the 1986 film Highlander, there can be only one, so pick a side and make your click count.
So what’s it to be, rocketeer? Do you prefer the salty classic soy sauce or the hearty decadence of a bowl of miso-based ramen? Let your voice be heard by clicking on a pretend button!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
