The demonic craving for Ramen

[zmanjz]

Hey,

You know, after seeing Inuyasha and Shippo devour instant ramen that Kagome brings back, and comparing that to Naruto's (A demonic container w/ demonic channeling ability) endless ramen craving....

I've gotta wonder. Is Ramen a Demonic Delicacy?

Are there other demons (or hanyous, or something similar) that have a disturbing affinity for Ramen in other anime series?

Ramen are like potatochips or pizza

it's just a cultural difference, and all come in all the same flavors.

(there are seafood themed potato chips)

Well ramen is dirt cheap and its really easy to make so people eat alot of that stuff. Also Pocky has been used in anime, also those fruit drinks in slim cans, sushi, and riceballs(Though in certain dub anime they're called "doughnuts" or "cookies" )

Plus I'm willing to bet its kinda like how almost everyone loves mac n' cheese, or any noodles of any type. I know I do

(I remember reading awhile ago some old statistic that ranks spaghetti pretty high on the list of favorite and/or most eaten foods in the U.S., with macroni listed near the end of the list. It was an old stat, but I'm sure it hasn't changed much.)

Well, thank you for that, but I'm relatively aware of Japanese popular culture and the more common food-stuffs and their impact on japanese popular culture.


To be more specific: the question I have is whether Demonic-oriented characters seem to have more of an affinity for Ramen than other common Japanese junk food?

and if so, can anyone cite to such a character other than Naruto, Inuyasha, and Shippo?

Eh, I don't think Nartuto would be considered demonic, he's more or less unorthadox in his personality. Unless ofcourse you mean that whole thing with the fox sealed inside of him.

There arn't really any characters that I can think of....other than Desty Nova, but then again he enjoys Flan mostly. There's also the main character from gad Guard, but he's a normal person

A very large portion of Ramen flavoring is msg, that is why it is evil.
