		<description><![CDATA[Lol, the cheese yakisoba&#039;s on here (and he only gave it a 2/5) :D  It&#039;s pretty good... if you add a generous amount of your favorite shredded cheese (that&#039;s what I like to do).  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&gt; You can&#039;t trick Japanese people the same way.

Well, not with ramen, of course, because that&#039;s a Japanese food.  You could probably, however, feed them nasty bottom-of-the-barrel comes-in-a-blue-box the-cheese-is-neon-orange-powder macaroni and cheese (hopefully I don&#039;t have to name the specific brand; you know the stuff I mean) and they&#039;d likely never know it was different from the real thing.  

What do you mean, Americans eat macaroni and cheese made from real noodles, three kinds of actual cheese plus Velveeta to make it smooth, and real sauce made from real milk, seasoned with garlic and onion, baked to golden-brown perfection?  My English teacher who doesn&#039;t actually speak English never taught me about that!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sort of.  On the one hand, some people (by which I mean college students) will scarf down virtually anything, up to and including Treat (the chintzy off-brand competitor of Spam).  On the other hand, there&#039;s some question about whether ingesting Cup Noodles actually counts as eating.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#039;t believe he gave the American &quot;Cup Noodles&quot; 1.5 stars.  I&#039;ve had those:  they might legitimately rate 0.5 stars, tops.  About the best thing you can say for them is they&#039;re technically edible and easy to prepare.  I&#039;ve also had the Maruchan ramen, which he gives 2 stars.  They&#039;re not great, but they&#039;re at *least* four times better than the Cup Noodles.  

Actually, 2 stars is probably a pretty fair rating for the Maruchan ramen, assuming that the scale goes up to 5 for packaged/instant stuff.  Good homemade food would have to be rated in the range of 50-100, and restaurant food might score as high as 15 or so, on a good day.]]></description>
