Ramen noodle soup for me. Whenever I am "American food out", a bowl of steamy Ramen noodle soup can always put my stomach at ease. I remember 3 months after I came to America, mk took me to northern Michigan, where we spent an entire week in a cottage with his family. Three days past by, I started freaking out with the overload of pork roast, beef roast, bacon and so on, since that was the first time I haven't touched Chinese food for days. Not to mention that I am a borderline vegetarian since I don't like meat too much. So we ran to Walmart and bought some instant noodle, that saved my life. After that I am good with pork roast for another 3 days. Now I refuse to co-habitate with them without the instant noodle in my suitcase. It's interesting how our palates evolve, now I can have American food for a long time without a melt-down. I actually enjoy a lot of them now, still not the meaty stuff too much.
