Oh dear lord. Potnoodles. The ultimate in sad bachelor junkfood!

Tak, that film is called "Supersize Me." The guy, Morgan Spurlock, eats only McD's for I think about 3 months(?) and modifies his lifestyle to reflect other "average American" habits, such as reducing his daily amount of walking.
His health and weight go to pot, but the experiment is a little extreme.

Noodles can be great, but not - horrors - Cup O' Noodles
We usually keep a stock of various flavors of asian instant noodles on hand for times we don't feel like cooking or want a quick snack. Though we've found a few brands we don't like at all, most of the asian brands are considerably better tasting than the US equivalents. I'm fond of "Szechuan Chef" brand, but there are many others equally good.
Hint: go for the blocks of noodles with separate spice and stock packets inside the cellophane wrapper - the flavors are much fresher.
I'll admit that we've got an advantage - we live in an area with lots of asian markets, and my wife reads Chinese.

Udon is the ultimate noodle for me. I like it in steaming chicken broth, with some thin-disk-sliced green onion dropped in at the last minute.
On the opposite side of the pasta divide, there's rigatoni, stuffed with a mixture of herbed ground beef and mozzarela, covered in a spicy tomato sauce, and baked as a casserole.
Dagnab it! Now I'm hungry again!
(Even when we do use ramen and such, we never use the "flavor" packets, which seem to be 98-percent salt.)

Anyone familiar with an Italian restaurant in Cleveland called Il Giardino d'Italia? Hector Boiardi, their internationally renowned chef, came up with a recipe for an exquisitively robust yet delicate Italian-style noodle that has a quality that cannot be described. A fine complement and partner to his red sauce.

Ummmm.... this isn't the Ramen Song I'm familiar with. Wyobadger (a board member who used to post here) wrote a real great song about ramen noodles. Don't recall all the words off the top of my head... maybe Beth would remember.
