Nissin Yakisoba U.F.O. Big / 日清焼そば U.F.O. Big

The variety of instant noodles I introduced has spawned my mother to call me to ask me to send her a random package of what Mikako and I think are great instant noodles. Apparently the choices are pretty limited in my home town of Tacoma. Today's choice is Nissin Yakisoba - U.F.O. Big. By the way, I was watching television last night and the subject of the program was the best instant noodles as chosen from 10,000 people (the choices did not include limited items or items produced by well-known ramen shops). I found out what the U.F.O. stood for on these noodles (even if the package does say Unidentified Flying Object). It stands for Umai, Futoi, Oishii! Which translates to Delicious! Fat! or Thick! for the thickness of the noodles and Delicious! Yep, umai and oishii pretty much mean the same thing. Maybe the person who said it was mistaken. Who knows, what matters is that the yakisoba is delicious!

いろんなカップ麺を紹介したら、僕のアメリカに住んでるお母さんがわざわざ日本に電話して、“Youたちが美味しいと思うカップ麺いろいろ送ってちょうだい”と頼まれました。うちの母さん本当に「Youたち」とか言いますよ。うちの実家のほうはカップ麺のチョイスがあんまりないらしい。今日紹介するのは「日清焼そば U.F.O. BIG」。見た通り大盛りになってます。麺がなんと１３０ｇ。そ言えば、昨日テレビでなんかの番組を見たら、一万人が選んだ美味しいカップ麺と特集をやってた。それでU.F.O.の意味が分かった。ウマイ！フトイ！オイシイ！とゆう意味らし。本当がどうか分かりませんが。とにかくこの焼きそばは美味しい！それだけです。

Bon Appetit!

いただきます！
