Great Donations From James Of Lakeside
Well, the kids are back in school and now I have a lot of time at home. I have a few things to get done – I’ve taken the last few weeks off of reviewing – in fact, I haven’t done a review since May 28th! But I’m going to get back into it very soon – possibly tomorrow… It’s nice – I go on a big kick of reviewing for a while then slack off. Even though I’ve been skipping my reviing as of late, I’m still over 100 reviews ahead, which is nice. These nice varieties donated by James will be among the first to review, and should be posted in maybe November or December. Let’s take a look!

#4859: Paldo Gompaghetti Korean Beef Flavored Noodles – United States
This one came by way of James from Lakeside, California – thank you again, sir! So, this is a combination of gomtang, a creamy beef soup, and instead of being a soup, this is a dry version, so there’s your paghetti part of the name. It sounds good, and apparently milk can used instead of water which I intend to try. Let hit it up – I’m expecting good things.

#4793: Pamana Arroz Caldo Chicken Rice Porridge – United States

#4144: Sugakiya Nagoya Kishimen – Japan
Here’s another one from James of Lakeside, CA – thanks again! This one seems to be a dry variety – drain spouts usually denote this. From the iconography it’s a steep, drain, pouch affair but that seems a little weird for this one. But, it’s the most logical steps for preparation I can grok from what I see, so… Let’s give it a try!
#4135: Menraku Japanese Ramen “Chili Tomato” Taste – United States

These came by way of James from Lakeside California and looks like Snapdragon has dressed up their packaging yet again.

But I’m in the mood so these at least have that going for them. Let’s give them a try!

#3478: Menraku Japanese Ramen “Seafood Tonkotsu” Taste – United States
This one comes by way of James in Lakeside, CA. Thanks! Okay so yer it’s made in Japan but this is obviously packaged for US sale. I generally classify things for the country you’ll be able to buy them in. If it’s an export product that would go to a region, say Europe, it’d get given the originating country’s name at the end of the title. So there.
