Ramen is made in the restaurant. You can't send ramen in the post.

In America there is a brand of fried noodles called Ramen which is boiled then mixed with a packet of seasoning to make a broth. It's a staple of college cuisine since it's around 25 cents a packet.

they got noodles in the UK but i want the real deal Ramen the proper stuff, thats a shame.

OK, if people want to join this, here's how it works.

Everyone sends their address to a central location (use PM) which can be me. You don't have to use your real name but obviously you have to put down a real address where the package will reach you.

I will put everyone into a list so that the order is of different countries. That is, supposing the first guy on the list is in the USA, I will make sure the second guy is somewhere else.

I will then send a snack product to the first guy on the list, and I will include the print out of the list.

Once he gets the snack product, the first guy buys a local snacks and sends it to the second guy, including the list with his name crossed out.

If people want to include some extra item, which they thing might like to make a journey around the world that would be a nice touch. Just remember the cost of postage and that I will be the last guy on the list.

And so on.

Total cost of the snack product plus postage should be under £5/$10. This is just for fun.

If you want to join this marvellous international cultural exchange scheme, send me your address before 6th December.

On 9th December I am going to Japan for a holiday, so the lucky first guy on the list will receive a Japanese snack product!!!!!!!!!

Would there be any objection with me sending a bottle of beer from a local micro brew?

We don't know that the receiver will be of a legal drinking age.

There is that...

I think, generally, glass vessells are probably best avoided, unless very well wrapped up.

Heavy to post.

I think Pickled Onions are worth the extra cost. Once your hooked, you can always pickle your own!

Perhaps in our modern times, pickled onions are available in plastic jars.

True, true. I'll have a shop round Tescos tomorrow on my way to work and despatch my food parcel when I do works Post.

I'm game. Do you get sapce raiders abroad? How about chipstix? Frazzles?

No box comming from the states is complete without some beef jerkey, sour skittles, white chocolate covered oreos and some sweet tarts. oh yes.

So glad I can go onto the international airbase and shop in the commisary, Id die without it.

You having trouble finding your way round the North Laine? Tut Tut.
My friend got some Twinkies from their once. Then we looked at the list of ingredients...
So many things in there! Weird things.

Wonder if the Colonies have such delicacies as Pepperami? Spicy Meaty goodness, it's 110% MEAT! (no, really! Read the label!)

I never knew that!
It is a bit of an animal.

Several bits by the sound of it! But do I go Green...Red...or Black

I wish I was in Japan, I'd be mailing out men's pocky and dried squid treats.

Stuff in China is just bad-gross, not entertaining gross.

I read that as "dried squid teats" and I was like "But but but squids aren't mammals!"

I like pocky and some dried squid treats. I get them from this import store in Buford/Lawrenceville all the time.

Anyone want some Pork Rinds? I don' think a lot of people not from the American South really enjoys them though.

How many people have we got so far then?

Two Brits, two Yanks and me (Brit but will be supply something Japanese.)

Coolin'. We need to corral a few more though!

Not sure, describe them.

Wikipedia says yes! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pork_rind

Pork scratchings are ace.

The little hairs are a little bonus!

Dang, I thought pork rinds were American.

Sorry mate, we were there first with Porky Scratchings.

Chicken Itchings is another great pub snack.
