Nissin Break The Noodle Taste Barrier

[Mulboyne]

[floatr][/floatr]If you can't get along to Kita Senju for ice cream ramen then you'll be happy to know you can now pick up some instant milk seafood noodles. Nissin introduced seafood cup noodles in 1984 and most people were happy to use boiling water to prepare them. A few oddballs, however, tried some experiments and the most successful of these found their way onto the net to reach a wider audience. Curry noodles with milk and seafood noodles with tomato juice have a decent following but Nissin decided that milk seafood noodles was the combination that everyone was talking about. Available nationwide from November 12th.

Why does this sound so weird? Just say to yourself 'Campbell's Cream of Whatever Soup' and you get the idea. The problem with ice cream ramen, tonkatsu ice cream and the like is that they look like a three year old kid had a food accident.

I can just about take Japanese milk when it is fresh, from a company like Nakazawa, is hot and is in a cup of coffee. The concept of an instant milk seafood noodles seems to satisfy none of these conditions.

Having spent a lot of the summers of my youth going on long distance canoe trips, I can tell you that instant milk isn't all that bad and mixed with noodle soup is definitely not as terrible as a lot of things I can find being pawned off at regular supermarkets.
