Pho vs. Ramen [moved from L.A. board]
- m
- Me so hungry May 21, 2007 04:34 PM
Just had the special ramen with BF at the Torrance Mitsuwa and i just don't get it. I love ramen, but to pay $7.00 for a bowl of ramen noodles, half a soft boiled egg, a slice of charsu pork and a piece of nori? Are you for real?
For that much, I can get a big bowl of Pho with tons of beef and tendons, an assortment of herbs and sprouts, spring rolls for appetizer and a Vietnamese coffee at Pho So 1.
Maybe I'm comparing apples and oranges, but if you had to choose, which one would you choose?
If I HAD to choose between the two, I'd choose ramen. I enjoy pho, but I enjoy ramen far more on the whole. I understand the price difference (a bowl at Daikokuya is a couple bucks more than a large at Pho 87, my two regular spots as someone who avoids driving in LA), but the combination of the thicker soup, abundance of bamboo and fatty charsiu is just too good.
Then again, so much of choosing between the two is about feel and cravings. As a soup lover, it's hard to imagine only getting to have one.
I agree, went to Mitsuwa and they were selling ground beef and ground pork combo for $3.99/lb nicely pre-packaged. At ABC supermarket in Westminster, each will set you back $1.99/lb at the most. Japanese culture is also very aesthetic, using little doilies for tempura and the use of nice serving dishes. Most SE asian will serve in acrylic dishes/bowls with either plastic or wooden chopsticks, won't find that at a ramen place. Also with the Japanese into the 3rd or 4th generation, it's harder to woo folks to do the restaurant biz as bulavinaka said. Makes me hopeful that the SE asian cuisine will flourish after this current generation. Still wierd to have an elder asian speak to me in perfect english, as you will find with many Japanese.
Each has it's own place. Pho is my comfort food being vietnamese and adding your own touches makes it your own. I love ramen though, it's salty filled with different textures that tantalize. Any meal under $8 in OC is a good deal for me!
Oops - look like my post vanished... oh well - I still think both are good - just a preference thing for me... but it's hard to beat your comparison on a bowl of ramen versus a mini-cauldron of pho...
sometimes i want pho noodles, but often I want ramen, especially for the taste and texture of the noodles broth is good on both
i don't think you can really compare. basically pho is a dish, whereas ramen is more like, a category of food like... a "sandwich" or "pasta."
while there are a few regional variations in pho (north versus south, pho from hanoi as opposed to saigon, etc.), it's all primarily the same thing - a beef-based broth prepared using fairly defined spices, rice noodles, beef toppings, etc. (unless you're talking chicken pho lol). it's all a matter of finding the one place that does pho best/most to your liking.
with ramen, you have a multitude of soup and noodle types and toppings and dozens of variations that have evolved over the years into unique and accepted styles - asahikawa ramen, tokyo wafu ramen, chukasoba, etc. each unique and completely unlike the other.
along those lines, it might be more approriate to compare say, pho from a particular restaurant with a specific kind of ramen from a specific ramen shop. Like Golden Deli pho versus shoyu ramen from Ramen-ya. Althought to me it's still apples and oranges =).
as for bang to buck ratio, keep in mind that when it comes to japanese food, we're talking about a culture where you can pay $1,000 or more for a single piece of sushi!
that said, i eat both pho and ramen. personally, pho is great for "light days" when i still want something brothy. ramen, then, the rest of the week ^^.
re: rameniac
I agree that pho is great for "light days"; ramen, to me, is a bit more heartier.
I say comparing Pho and Ramen is like comparing apples and oranges. The one thing I love about a bowl of Pho is that it comes with all the fresh herbs and vegetables you can add. I think the broth in a good bowl of Pho is a little more complex. That said, I do enjoy Ramen, especially when it has really good Charsiu. Someone once said "sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't".
Of course, if you want to add Bun Bo Hue or Bun Tom Thit Nuong in the mix, I would vote for those. Bun Bo Hue has a very unique flavor and comes with a big pig's foot in the bowl (like a Crackerjack prize in a bowl of noodles). Bun dishes are one of my favorite things to eat on a hot day. The addtion of fish sauce also gives it a very unique flavor. Both dishes are great with a bunch of herbs and veggies added.
I can't compare the two fairly, because ramen is kind of a cultural touchpoint for me. It reminds me of sitting in my grandparent's kitchen, eating Obaachan's lovingly prepared bowl of ramen, spiked with whatever bits of goodness (ie leftovers) she had in the fridge. I enjoy both ramen and pho tremendously, but I can't separate the emotional reaction to ramen from the culinary aspect. It's probably been 30 years since I had any of her ramen, but every bowl at Daikokuya takes me back.
re: ricepad
It's all about perspective - and your point-of-view as well as everyone else's is what it's all about... and very touching...
re: bulavinaka
Agreed, pho or ramen at restaurants usually doesn't compare to homemade. Mom's pho tastes very different than store pho. With that said, eating something that reminds you of wonderful memories, that is true comfort food. Even though the taste isn't 100% the same.
re: ricepad
I hear you, ricepad. Only I'm back in my parents' house filled with yummy smells of everything that's cooking up in their kitchen. The water is boiling in the pot for them to toss the noodles in, their home-made (never store bought) chicken broth is simmering away, and there are all kinds of veggies and meat waiting to be embraced by the broth and noodle. Then we'd all sit silently around the dining room table, slurping away. Those really were the days....
Hi... I understand the basic premise of your pho vs. ramen topic. But as resident nit-picker :-) I'm gonna pick a small nit with you: the Pho with beef and tendon (and garnish) at Pho So 1 is gonna set you back at least $5. The spring rolls are gonna be another $5, so you're up to $10 already. Add your viet coffee, and you've nearly doubled the price (at Pho So 1) that you paid for your $7 ramen bowl at Mitsuwa, yes? I love me some Pho So 1 at any price, but unless the branch you frequent has radically lower prices, the two meals you describe in the original post aren't comparable, price-wise...
You're right. You're comparing apples and oranges. Yet, if I *was forced to* pick between the best available pho and ramen in Los Angeles, I'd pick ramen.
I love ramen, and I love pho, but if I had to pick, I would go with pho. As previous posters have mentioned, it has a lot to do with nostalgia. I grew up with pho and didn't have non-instant ramen till I was in college. Pho just seems more comforting to me.
It is apples and oranges. But if I am forced to pick one as the last meal of my life - it will be pho.
It's a party in a bowl - complexity of the soup, the chewiness of the noodles and tendon, the crunch of the sprouts, the herby flavors, the salty and the sweet.
Ramen, while good, doesn't seem to have that kind of complexity to me. I can't tell a great bowl from a good bowl. Pho - for me it's easy to tell at first sip/bite if it's a great one or mediocre one.
re: notmartha
if i was off to the gallows or strapped into the electric chair, there'd be a hakata ramen yatai right next to me. heck, i'd request the chef flip the switch!
re: notmartha
Hi there, notmartha: I think for many of us, the 1980s film Tampopo was a break-out moment of delightful education and clarity (albeit, fictionalized) into precisely what *should* constitute an exemplary bowl of ramen, from parts-to-sum. When reading poster Rameniac's blog about ramen in southern California, I get a sense of where some of those elements might be found locally...
re: silence9
I loved that film, pretty entertaining (but I generally like any food related films).
However, even knowing that the keys are the broth, and of course the noodles the distinction between best and next best isn't that obvious to me for ramen. Flaws are easier to hide in stronger flavors, perhaps.
re: tdo ca
Ramen at home
Pho for eating out
Ramen has too many home cooked memories for me to order it when I go out. Too many personal touches that I grew up with.
Wow, ... what a debate!
I think I would agree with the original poster, and say that pho does give more bang for the buck. It's just as hearty, I think. The broth can be so rich, depending on where you go, ...and my regular joint does it sooooo well. The veggies and herbs make it so much more interesting.
Ramen, that's kind of a treat for me. I like it too, but ... if I had a choice, I think I'd pick pho.
re: jennjen18
I've been eating pho since I was a wee youngin', but having just went on a mini-ramen tour...I gotta say ramen.
As an above poster mentioned, pho is pho no matter where you go. Pretty much the same base, + noodles, + beef/whatever. Some are better than others but all are pretty same.
I've tried 5 or 6 different kinds of ramen in the past 3 weeks, and they're all significantly different. Different noodles, soup based, toppings etc. Just so much more variety and depth IMHO. But it's also a bit more expensive, which IS a bust.
Here's a better debate: what's WORSE, the god awful efficiency of ramen shops (daikokuya and SSG to be exact), or the jackass but efficient service from pho places....
re: ns1
The thing is, it depends what meal you're on about. Ramen is lunch; pho can be breakfast. And you don't hear about college kids subsisting on sub-par packaged fried pho... which may be why pho has a cachet that ramen doesn't.
As for the service question -- Santouka takes like 20 minutes to get a bowl of ramen. I think the longest I've EVER waited for a bowl of pho is 3 minutes and that was in a place where people were howling because it was so damn slow (Pho Hoa, if you're interested, in San Mateo).
haha, i had a similar debate to this question a few weeks ago. "if you had to eat it every day for the rest of your life, would you eat pho or ramen?" and almost unanimously, the answer was ramen. it's just got a richer, meatier broth, toothsome noodles, and a hot salty taste (not to mention all those varieties). that being said, pho is my ultimate post-drinking food, but these days, that's the ONLY time i'll eat it.
re: esquimeaux
In resurrecting this topic thread, I would like to answer the question posed above.
If given the choice between eating pho or ramen every day for the rest of my life, my choice is pho hands down.
I guess this puts me in the minority.
We have both a pho restaurant and a ramen restaurant in my neighborhood. They are about a 5-minute walk away from each other.
A small bowl of pho at the pho restaurant costs $7.75. A bowl of ramen at the ramen restaurant costs exactly $12.
The size and volume of the small bowl of pho at the pho restaurant and that of the bowl of ramen at the ramen restaurant are about the same.
As a result, I am paying over $4 more for a bowl of ramen at the ramen restaurant that is about equivalent in size and volume as the bowl of pho at the pho restaurant.
Don't get me wrong. I like ramen. It's just like I like pho better. I prefer rice noodles to ramen noodles. I enjoy being able to add fresh herbs and spices to my pho.
I enjoy many different varieties of pho, including those which include beef, chicken, and shrimp. I haven't experienced quite the degree of variety available in ramen that is available in ramen.
I have never had a bowl of ramen that justifies the difference is costs.
Maybe I have never really had a great bowl of ramen. But I have had many great bowls of pho.
re: PontiusPalate
What if they cost the same? Would your answer change?
re: ricepad
I don't think so.
Overall, I like pho better, regardless of the price.
Maybe it's because I have been eating pho a lot longer than ramen.
In all fairness, I probably need to eat ramen a little longer to see if I am able to develop more of a taste for it.
re: PontiusPalate
As far as variety, if you're ever in the Greater Los Angeles area, you should go to Foo Foo Tei (in Hacienda Heights). It's 31 flavours of ramen; have a different one everyday for a month.
Here's an extensive review of FFT: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/5697...
And Keizo's review of ramen-a-day challenge on his page (former CHer & creator of the Ramen Burger): http://www.goramen.com/search/label/F...
In the U.S., Japanese dishes can be a bit like French ones ... as in paying more for less.
Beyond that, comparing pho to ramen is a bit of apples and oranges.

"Round is at the top of his game. A splendid read."
Gail Bowen, author of the Joanne Kilbourn series
I come at writing from a literary perspective. Meaning, creating art with words. In fiction, I like strong plotting, believable characterization, and fine prose. I believe the journey is far more important than simply propelling a story through non-stop action to a startling reveal at a books end. I enjoy books with psychological depth and meaning, like the novels of James Joyce, where personal suffering shades into something more universal. Yet I can also enjoy a well-written [Read more]

'Players' weekend starts hot, turns wet
Updated On: May 10 2013 04:30:00 PM EDT
As you head out to The Players, plan for warmer weather Saturday morning, but an increasing chance by rain on late afternoon and, possibly, Sunday.
Thursday's weather was the beginning of a warming trend. Friday morning started out comfortable, but under partly cloudy skies, temperatures soared into the upper 80s. Winds didn't offer much relief, only light and variable, developing more of a southeasterly direction during the afternoon hours.
If you're going to watch (or play) golf on Saturday, dress for warm temperatures for most of the day, as highs will climb into the mid 80s. After 3 p.m., chances for showers develop. It would be worth carrying a rain jacket in the afternoon as the forecast calls for a 50% coverage of showers and even thunderstorms between 2 and 8 p.m.
Storms Saturday evening will die down quickly after sunset.
Sunday at The Players will be partly cloudy, with a few showers firing up around 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon.
Models show up to 2 inches of rain possible in St Johns County by Sunday night -- which would quickly turn into standing water and create minor flooding issues purely due to the amount of rain last week.
If the weekend's anticipated rain were to delay play, Monday would be a great make-up day: mostly sunny and breezy, with highs reaching 83 degrees.

DPC latency issue (audio lag)
I've recently started noticing significant audio issues (lag, stuttering, static) when browsing internet, both on chrome and firefox, Windows 7 64. It occurs when the browser is loading new content. After some googling, I've found out it is most likely related to DPC latency caused by some driver (DPC latency check proved that theory right, at least that I've had issues with DPC latency).
The latency checker results (red spikes are me opening new site like reddit, facebook, etc, in a new tab):
After running Latency Monitor program for about half a minute while browsing, I've got the following results:
cm11264 is a driver for my external audio card Xonar U1's chip, and I can't find anywhere in the device manager where I could update it, nor any corresponding driver on the manufacturers homepage (USB Audio,PCIe audio,USB audio ic,USB sound chip--C-Media Electronics, Inc.).
Even with the audio card disconnected and uninstalled, the latency checker shows serious spikes and the issue remains. I've also noticed few dozens hard pagefaults in chrome while running latency monitor.
At this point, I am stuck. Any ideas whether I am on the right track, and what more I can do to troubleshoot this issue, please? I'm gonna call Asus support regarding the sound card, but I doubt they can help much since I've already got the latest driver from their site, which is 3 years old at this point.
|My System Specs
|02 Mar 2014
Windows 7, 64 bit Home SP1, Win 8.1.1 Pro 64 bit
I had serious DPC latency spikes on my system after I installed Chrome. As it turned out the Google updater that was installed with Chrome was causing my problems. However, I uninstalled Chrome, using Revo Uninstaller Pro (which also searches out left over registry entries) but the Google Update program was still there. I had to manually edit the registry to finally get rid of the Google updater.
|My System Specs
|02 Mar 2014
Just solved the issue, or at least got the DPC down to acceptable levels for now(~100-2000us, compared to 60000us). Since I could not find how to update the Xonar driver, I uninstalled it completely, ran windows update and rebooted. After installing Xonar again, the lag seems to be gone, although I still haven't rebooted as the installer suggested (card is working anyways). Just gonna hold fingers crossed that it won't reset after reboot.
|My System Specs
|03 Mar 2014
Well, the lag is back. I didn't reboot or anything, it just came back next day - no changes made. Almost as if it's something that builds up. Any ideas how to proceed?

|03 Mar 2014
Server 2012 R2, Windows 8.1 , W7 ultimate x64
I had a bunch of dpc latency issues on an old gigabyte p35 motherboard. I don't remember the settings that caused it, but everytime the cpu clock speed or multiplier changed (speedstep?), i would get a dpc latency spike.

U.S. factory output rebounded strongly in February after harsh winter storms caused a steep drop-off in production in January. Manufacturers produced more autos, home electronics and chemicals.
The Federal Reserve said Monday that factory production surged 0.8 percent, nearly reversing a 0.9 percent plunge in January that was mainly because of weather. February's gain was the largest in six months.
The figures suggest that factories are poised to boost output and drive more economic growth as the weather improves.
Builder confidence edges higher in March
U.S. homebuilders' confidence in the housing market edged higher this month, reflecting improved demand for new homes as the traditional spring home-selling season ramps up.
But the outlook for sales of single-family homes over the next six months dimmed slightly as builders continue to grapple with a shortage of skilled workers, ready-to-build land and rising building materials costs.
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index released Monday rose to 47. That's up from February's reading of 46.
Readings below 50 indicate that more builders view sales conditions as poor rather than good.
The overall index had been above 50 from June through January, reflecting a strengthening housing market. The season typically sets the pattern for residential hiring and building construction in the ensuing months.

A partnership of four area county economic development organizations will conduct an online wage-and-benefits survey of private-sector area employers.
The four-county survey will be conducted by the DeKalb County Economic Development Partnership, the LaGrange County Economic Development Corp., the Noble County Economic Development Corp. and the Steuben County Economic Development Corp.
Participating companies receive information about the general labor market. This survey also benefits companies that are looking to expand or locate in northeast Indiana.
The first year was very successful and there is no reason to believe that trend won't continue, Dave Koenig, executive director for the Steuben County agency, said in a statement. If you are an employer in one of the four counties and are interested in participating, contact your local economic development office.
Mediacom upgrading local HD offerings
Mediacom Communications announced Monday it is upgrading network technology to provide area customers with a major expansion of its high-definition lineup, while eliminating analog reception for Family Cable video channels.
Mediacom's upgrade will affect the Family Cable channel series local subscribers find on their lineup between 17 and 78. Those channels will transition to a digital-only frequency in May and continued reception will require the use of either a digital converter or a digital adapter.
Current customers can receive up to three digital adapters at no cost through June 30, 2015.
Mediacom serves various rural communities in northeast Indiana.

Exclusive: Paris Hilton Reveals New Snoop And Flo Rida Cameos On YMCMB LP, Thoughts On Drake NTWS
The world's most business-minded heiress is getting busy in Birdman's studio and she doesn't care what haters have to say.
Paris Hilton popped by VIBE today (Sept. 25) to shed light on her recent signing to Cash Money Records and spill on some star-studded collabs she has lined up for her yet-to-be-named album.
"I love being part of the Cash Money brand and I don't care what anybody says because what we're doing is amazing," a pointed Paris says. "My first single is coming out October 1, called 'Good Time.'"
The track will be paired with a smoldering music video that features Paris gyrating poolside in a barely-there bikini to turnt-up beats created by her good friend Nick van de Wall, better known as Afrojack. "We wrote it together so it was a lot of fun coming up with the song," she says. "The beat is incredible, the drop is so much fun. I can't wait for everyone to hear it."
Lil Wayne adds a bit of hip-hop edge to the EDM-flavored track as well. "It was so much fun working with Wayne. He's so talented, so much fun, so down to earth and I was really excited to have him on my first single."
Hilton doesn't just get down to dance-floor heavy drops. While being asked for her thoughts on Drake's Nothing Was The Same, she says: "I love Drake. I think he's such a talented artist and his new album is amazing. One of my favorite songs is 'Just Hold On.' I really love 'Started From the Bottom'—it has great lyrics."
While there is no set release date for her Cash Money LP, Hilton insists the sophomore project varies drastically from her first album, Paris.
"The first one was more pop and this one is a lot more electro-pop, so it's a lot of dance songs and a lot of EDM," she says, revealing Snoop Dogg and Flo Rida features on the second and third singles, respectively. "I love being signed with Cash Money, they're an amazing label."
She's got that right. Paris first met Birdman years ago in Miami at the VMAs. "Lil' Wayne was [there]… he started asking about my records and said he'd love to be on a song,
she remembers. "And [then] Birdman and I started talking and he asked me to be in his video for 'Tap Out.' From there we did a deal."
Paris drops her "Good Time" single on Oct. 1. —Sarah Polonsky

Gerald Imes Admits Molesting Mo'Nique, Apologizes to Sister on Oprahby Free Britney at . Comments
Gerald Imes, Mo'Nique's "monster" older brother, has come clean.
After decades of denying allegations, Imes finally owned up to horrific claims made by Mo'Nique - that he was her childhood molester - to Oprah Winfrey.
"I'm here today to first acknowledge what I've been denial for for 37 years, and that is I did assault and inappropriately touch my sister in manners that were uncomfortable for her," he said. "And for that, I apologize."
"I'm humbly sorry that those actions had taken place."
Mo'Nique's parents also appeared on the show, although the Precious star herself did not participate. She did give her blessing for the sit-down to take place, saying she hoped her family's story would help other victims of abuse.
Gerald Imes, Mo'Nique's older brother, has come clean.
As for Gerald Imes, he confirmed Mo'Nique's timeline: Abusing her between ages 7-11. Mo'Nique did not tell her parents until she was 15, and only di so then after a violent incident occurred that neither she nor Imes will discuss.
Imes says he only recently realized how wrong he was."I accepted it as being the norm," he said, describing his own history with drug and sexual abuse. "The drugs weren't an excuse. They just allowed me and afforded me the opportunity to do the things in the back of my mind."
Hauntingly, he adds: "Most of the time, the abuse I did with my sister took place while she was asleep [or] the appearance that she was asleep."
He said his decision to come forward was watching his sister's Academy Award-winning performance in Precious and the all-too-familiar storyline.
Later in life, Imes was convicted of molesting someone and sentenced to 12 years in prison. Mo'Nique will not allow him around her twin sons.
As for why Gerald chose now to come forward, he hopes it will help rekindle his relationship with his sister: "I can only hope by coming forth today, since I couldn't reach out to her, that ... somehow... we can come back together."
"I'm sorry that it happened. I am so sorry that it happened to you, and that I was the perpetrator, the one that did it to you. However, I understand your pain. I, too, was there. Now let's share this together and move on.'"
he obviously has mental issues
Gerald may have been a child but he was 13. Older enough to know that you dont fool around with your sister. Its not like he was 7 too and they was both experimenting. it sadens me to see how people will justify wrong with a million excuses. Those the same ones who is just like Gerald. They too proably did wrong to someone and want to justify as it been right. I dont know Gerald may have been molested as well. It couldve been the parents. Still,no excuse for Gerald. 13 is old enough to know better. Right now Monique has to heal and its not a rush rush type of ordeal.
Mr. know it all April 20th, 2010 10:04 AM I think its all a big lie if he touched her he had no choice she was so big everyone that lived with her must have been guilty cause how could you walk around her big ass with out touching her she is everywhere at the same time if she would have lost a few pounds he could have made it to his room with out touching her and what about when she got arrested after getting pulled over by the cops they looked down the back of her pants and found 300pounds of crack (ass crack)
Mr. know it all April 20th, 2010 10:04 AM YOU ARE JUST TOTAL INSULT TO INJURY, WHOEVER MONSTER YOU ARE. ALSO YOU NEeD TO GET AN EDUCATION, SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE NONE AT ALL!!! SOUNDS LIKE YOU CANNOT SEE ANYTHING FURTHER THAN WHAT YOUR EYES CAN SEE....GOT NO BRAINS AT ALL...LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To the abive reader (vswilson): Oprah is not doing anything wrong, she is making him come out and show the world the MONSTER he is, however he act or not act on stage is not Oprah's load to carry. Oprah is doing the rightest thing to bring awareness to the world/to the public about these fucking monsters...who should be jailed, get helped or have their penises cut right off!!!!!!!!!!!!period!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I was Monique I would have bashed his damn skull in with a
object and ran. That bitch of a brother of hers need help, sick
saying sorry does not erase the pain and horror and it will not re-build the bridge that he burnt being a child or not he had enough sense to know what he was doing was wrong and that is something he and she will have to live with for the rest of their lives, but she did forgive him but i still dont think that he should be around her kids nor her nothing is wrong with showing love from a distance!!
this guy was 13 when he started molesting his 7 year old sister. He himself was a child. he was a victim, (this is what i heard) that he himself was molested and this action was imitated in the molestation of his sister. his wires had been crossed when he was a kid. I think that what Gerald Imes did (in appearing on oprah and discussing such a volitile issue and openly recognising his mistakes and apologising) is very admirable and a very brave thing to do. i just hope that he is now a new and better man... and i feel sorry for him because the man i saw on TV is certainly not (any more) a monster.
Ha hahaha! What a bunch of idiots posting here! I stumbled across this site and it left me stunned at the stupidity of people. LADIES, get off your fat arses, turn off the TV and get outside into the real world. Estimated average IQ of people posting here? About 10 (before I came that is.) Take a look at yourselves you fat monkeys - the real crime if you sitting there stuffing you faces with potatoe chips and KFC while normal people who have to work for a living provide you with your flat screens to watch Oprah.
sick man what a sick man, NO EXCUSE to do what he did. And his sorry ass is sorry!? Really dude really... nice try. May GOD forgive your soul. Memories last forever and time doesn't alwys heal these kinds of wounds they are always going to be there no matter what. So bascially you were thinkning about your damn self and how it wouldn't effect her, SELFISH much? And as far as her come together again... i would hide my head in the dirt just like the filthy animal you are. SHAME! Im so not even gonna go on about this i can go on forver. I love you Mo'Nique
So they can "come back together"? Is he kidding? It's wonderful that this idiot is unburdoning himself to the media, but we all know it's far from an act of altruism. He's looking for a book or reality show deal, perhaps a free dinner at some random restaurant and maybe even the Holy Grail...a handout from his famous sibling/victim. He only "just recently" realized he did a bad thing? I hope he gets hit by a bus.

Rick Perry Announces He Will Make an Announcement One Day
I know you're all dying to find out if Rick Perry will be running for president again in 2016. (Spoiler alert: He is.) Unfortunately, Obama has not yet entered his second term, nor has a new, exciting and even more "populist" redux of the Tea Party arisen to be reported breathlessly by Fox News. So it's a little early for potential candidates to make announcements of intent. It's considered somewhat gauche.
However, it's not too early for potential candidates to make announcements about announcements of intent…
Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Tuesday that he will "make an announcement about my future political plans" in July, according to a report by the Rio Grande Guardian…
Asked about another presidential run during an interview with a Dallas CBS affiliate earlier this year, Perry said he was "certainly going to give it a good examination."
"2016 is way down the road," Perry said, "but I'll assure you one thing. If I decide to run for the presidency in 2016, I'll be in way before the summer of 2016, 2015 even."
Hhhrrrmmmm… Summer of 2013 seems even a little early, by Perry's own estimation. So, maybe this won't actually be announcement about an announcement, so much as an announcement about his intent to make an announcement concerning an prospective upcoming announcement. Or maybe even an announcement about and announcement about… Well, you get the idea.
At any rate, I can barely wait for seven months from now to learn of the thrilling next phase of Rick Perry's illustrious political career.

Belanova is a Latin Grammy-award winning Mexican synth-pop band from the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco. The group consists of lead vocalist Denisse Guerrero, programmer and keyboardist Edgar Huerta, and Ricardo "Richie" Arreola on bass. The band was formed in 2000, but they were not signed under a record company until 2002, signing under Virus Records, Mexican Dance Label, owned by Universal Music.
All three members of the band have had a special taste for music since childhood. Ricardo says he developed his interest in music because he idolized The Beatles member Paul McCartney as a child. Edgar's brother received a little keyboard as a Christmas present when he was ten. His brother showed little interest in it, preferring to play with his other toys, and so Edgar simply began playing it one day. Denisse came from the city Los Mochis, Sinaloa. Denisse has liked to sing since she was five-years-old, and was previously a member of the band 40 Grados, literally "40 degrees." The trio met in Guadalajara at a bar where both Edgar and Denisse were working.
Recently Belanova has introduced a new member of the band, Campanita, who plays the drum set. Although he is not an official member, some fans speculate that he will be one by the time the third album is released. He has appeared in some videos and plays along with them on live performances.
Their first album was titled Cocktail and was released in 2003. The first single off the album was "Tus Ojos", which became popular due to a Mitsubishi publicity campaign, just after the Japanese car maker's arrival in Mexico, the song reached number-one on the Mexican Top 100 and stayed there for 3 consecutive weeks, the album reached number-five on Mexican Albums Chart and sold over 50,000 copies being certified Gold, the album was named one of the Top Five albums of 2003 by Rolling Stone Mexico.
Apart from "Tus Ojos", the album also spawned two more top-twenty hits, "Suele Pasar" and "A?n Asi Te Vas".
The band spent 2003 and 2004 on a 100-Concert Tour around Mexican Territory, after the success of the album, Universal Music Mexico wanted a more commercial sound, the band flew to Argentina to record their second album, this time with a more poppy sound and the record label moved Belanova from the Dance Label, Virus Records to the mainstream label, Universal.
Dulce Beat
Dulce Beat (2005), the band's sophomore album became a success in Mexico, the United States and Latin America
In 2005 they released a new album called Dulce Beat, which gained popularity in the Latin American music market thanks largely to television stations such as MTV. The album was released on June 21, 2005 in Mexico, reaching the number-one spot staying there for four non-consecutive weeks, the album has sold over 200,000 copies in Mexico alone. The first single of the album was "Me Pregunto", which was followed soon after by "Por Ti", both songs reached number-one in Mexico becoming top five songs of the year in the country. The third single was "Rosa Pastel", released in July 2006. The album has enjoyed much success around Latin America, with sales of over 500,000 copies and the same year they released their first live album called "Dulce Beat Live", which went Gold in Mexico only few hours after it was released. The album includes a set of 16 songs performed live at the Foro Expo in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico on March 10, 2006.
Belanova's video "Por Ti" holds the record for the most weeks on MTV Mexico's Top 20, peaking at number-one for twenty-nine weeks. When the album was released in the United States in the spring of 2006, it hit number fifty-nine on Billboard's Top Latin Albums Chart and reached the top ten on the Top Electronic Albums Chart. Disney Latin America picked the band to make the Spanish version of the song "What I've Been Looking For" ("Eres T?") for the Latin American release of the High School Musical Soundtrack. The band earned a Grammy Nomination for "Mejor ?lbum Vocal Pop D?o o Grupo" ("Best Pop Vocal Album by a Group or Duo"), but La Oreja de Van Gogh won the award. The band also became the most nominated Mexican Act on the 2006's MTV Video Music Awards Latin America, but they only won "Mejor Artista Norte" ("Best Northern Artist"). In October 2006, Belanova signed a contract with Pizza Hut Mexico, to promote Cheesy Pops and their single "Ni?o", the band filmed the commercials on November 7, 2006 and the first of the three different commercials was premiered on November 15.
Fantas?a Pop
Fantas?a Pop (2007), the band's third album broke a record in Mexico when it was certified Platinum for physical sales but its digital sales were five times bigger.
Alex Enr?quez, the band's manager sent a press release announcing Belanova's new album, Fantas?a Pop. The album was released on September 10, 2007 in Mexico, and the rest of Latin America and on September 11, 2007 in the United States. The album was recorded in Argentina. The first single, "Baila Mi Coraz?n" was premiered on July 2 on Mexican radio station Los 40 Principales.
The band filmed the video for the first single on July 13, the band will tour around Mexico, the rest of Ibero-America and the United States. The band signed a contract with Sony Ericsson M?xico to release the model W580 on July 30, 2007, the release was named the Belanova Edition and it includes three new tracks from the album as well as a music video, websites and a dance game. On August 18, 2007, the band shot the video for what would be the second single from their album that also will serve as the soundtrack for the Mexican film "Hasta El Viento Tiene Miedo". On September 12, 2007, it was reported the album sold over 50,000 copies of their album Fantas?a Pop in just three days in Mexico being certified Gold by AMPROFON. In Spain the band released their album in early 2008 where they were named 'Best New Band' by Yahoo! Spain and promotion started soon after with the first single "Baila Mi Coraz?n" reaching the top of the airplay charts but album sales never took off. The album was certified Oro (Latin Gold) in the United States after selling over 100,000 copies and the band announced their first headlining tour across the United States with 20 dates. Promotion for the third single to be lifted from the album, "One, Two, Three, Go! (1, 2, 3, Go!)" began in summer 2008 and has been well received in Mexico and Latin America, receiving heavy airplay amongst the country's pop radio stations. Rotation for the single's music video on MTV began 10 July. "One, Two, Three, Go! (1, 2, 3, Go!)" was also featured as a free "Single of the Week" in the Apple's iTunes music store in the United States beginning the week of 29 July. In September the nominees for the Los Premios MTV Latinoam?rica 2008 were announced, Belanova becoming the second most nominated band along with Babasonicos with six nominations each, just behind Juanes, becoming the most nominated Mexican act at the ceremony. The band has also been nominated for the Lunas del Auditorio Nacional and a Latin Grammy. The band ended as the most played act in Mexico in 2008 with the song "Cada Que..." topping the Year-End Charts.
Other projects
It had been announced that the band is going to be part of the soundtrack for the movie "Cuando Las Cosas Suceden", although this never materialised. The band worked with Aleks Syntek on the track "Laberinto" which was included on Syntek's latest album Lecci?n de Vuelo. The band signed a contract with Wella Latin America to release the new campaign for Wellaton, the TV Ads began airing upon the release of their third album "Fantas?a Pop". The Band also worked with Moenia in their latest album "Solar" in their song "Me Equivoqu?".

Samsung Galaxy S4 flash sale ends May 20th

For a limited time Samsung's smartphone is available with unlimited minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of data for just £18 a month (£99 upfront). But you better move fast because the deal is only available until May 20th.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 may have been eclipsed by the Galaxy S5, but it's still a great smartphone that you can update to the latest version of Android (Android KitKat) and at this price it's a very tempting proposition.

Mcdonald's regional menus - McLobster Roll etc
- m
- Mcdonald's regional menus - McLobster Roll etc Jun 4, 2002 04:44 PM
To people who detest fast food, never mind. To people who make that FF pit stop....
OK, if this has been discussed before, just point me to the link. I'm having a goggle burn out.
Anyway while looking up my favorite lobster roll restaurant, I discovered that McDonalds serves Lobster Roll in Maine in the summer - %5.95 - lobster, mayo, roll. It got some favorable reviews from some people. Speculation about where the lobster originated was anywhere from ... fresh Maine Lobster to Panama City where a plane flys in twice a week to pick up the lobster.... the plane, the plane...
First. has anyone tried it? Is it any good?
Also, from driving around the country, it seems that McDonald's has regional menus. What is unique to your area and is it any good? The international sites have there own specialites. While I've only had a McDonald's meal once overseas (out of sheer desperation), I like to stop by and see the different menus in different countries. I only tell this shameful little quirk to my good freinds...
I've had a parfait at McD's twice now. It's almond yogurt layered with fruit and granola. It's pretty damn good, and actually seems healthy. I have seen it offered in Dawsonville, GA and the Pittsburgh airport (don't I just get around?). Why can't they all have it...what's the deal?
re: Sweet Willie
Yep - where you save in fat you definitely make up for in sugar. Those little fruity treats pack a whopping 400 calories a pop.
I believe we have been down this road before. Anyway, last summer I saw lobster rolls at our McDonald's in Central Maine. My sister says they're not bad. I think I heard the lobster is frozen, and it's from Maine.
re: jenniferfishwilson
Just out of curiousity, what exactly constitutes a "plate lunch"?
re: Stephanie L.
Where I come from (the South) a plate lunch is meat and threes, i.e. - a meat and three (or two) veggies and usually a bread. Decent, but not big, portions characterize a plate lunch. Keep in mind that "veggies" in the South include macaroni and cheese and rice and gravy!
re: Stephanie L.
A Hawaiian plate lunch is any of a bunch of kinds of meat preparations, served over rice and accompanied by two scoops of potato or macaroni salad. Served in coffeeshop-type places, from lunch trucks, etc.
re: Stephanie L.
My experience in Hawaii (over 35 trips) is that the plate lunch consists of a limited number of selected items which include; rice doled out by the ice cream scoop, Kim Chi, macaroni salad, fried chicken, pork ribs cooked in a teriyaki sauce. These are offered at lunch wagons or very modest cafes. One of the best is Chicken Annie's in Honolulu. It is just behind the Ala Moana shopping center. Another tip for anyone headed to the islands is to be careful when ordering shaved ice. Shaved ice is NOT a Sno Cone. The ice should be frozen in a wheel that is rotated against a sharp blade. Crushing the ice does not produce the desired consistancy. Aloha.
re: Mr. Jenniferfishwilson
In my opinion, shaved ice is FAR superior to a snocone. No big chunks to chomp on, and the flavoring doesn't all go to the bottom. Love it.
re: spellweaver16
I also believe it's referred to as "shave" ice, without the "d."
When I lived in New Mexico back in '96, I found out you could order any burger with green chiles. Made for some interesting names: green chile big mac, etc.
I saw the lobster rolls advertised when I lived on Cape Cod a couple summers ago, but never tried one.
We definately talked about the McLobster Roll before... It's not bad... better than some I have had for almost double the price.
They're really not bad. I avoid McDonalds at all costs, but I think it was the Boston Globe that did an article on the Lobster Roll last year, saying that it really was what they said it was- decent lobster without much filler. I've tried it twice now, while with people where were a bit more McD's inclined. Once in Kittery, Maine and other was probably here in MA. It's really not bad, probably the best thing on their menu (for all THAT says.)
The lobster rolls are quite tasty, and cheap too!
In TN once, I did see a chicken fried steak bisquit sandwich, which was suprisingly good.
As a ex-road warrior, my on-the-run, in-a-town -I-don't-know breakfast is the sausage bisquit sandwich. I was always amazed at how the quality of the bisquits varied across the US.
I don't eat at McD's at all but I've noticed in the last few years some changes in the NYC menus. Mc Veggie burgers are now quite commonplace. Also on 8th Ave. there is a branch that has a Krispy Kreme style donut making machine proudly displayed in the window churning out McDonuts, or whatever they call them. The newest thing I've seen is a chicken on flatbread panini ala COSI.
re: Iron Frank
If you go to McDonald's website, there's a pull down list of all the countries where McDonald's has restuarants. It seems that some of the international items are moving into the US Market.
The United Kingdom originated the Chicken on Focaccia bun. The also have a McBacon Roll which has back bacon and brown sauce served in a maize-topped roll Ironically the UK also sells hot dogs.
The Veggie burger is available in Bahrain and seems to have originated in Switzerland. Check out Switzerland. Ir has some sort of McBus that travels to the seaside in Spain and Italy.
Turkey has the KöfteBurger made of a spicy meat patty inside a bun enriched with a yogurt mix and spiced tomato sauce
Italy has a salad of shrimp and salmon.
In Austria, in the McCafe you can get Austrian and Italian cakes.
Checkout the McRye in Finland. Not sure what the heck that is.
During lent in Greece you can get spring rolls.
In Hong Kong there is a curry potato pie and a red bean sunday.
India has the most diverse menu with the Big Mac being made out of mutton.
Israel has Kosher McDonalds that are closed on Saturdays and religious holidays.
There's the Teriyaki McBurge in Japan, a sausage patty on a bun with teriyaki sauce.
In Korea there's the Bulgogi Burger, a 100% Pork patty on a bun with bulgogi sauce and lettuce.
In the Netherlands there's The McKroket, a version of a Dutch sandwich.
In New Zealand the Kiwiburger adds a slice of beet root, an egg, lettuce and tomato to the Quarter Pounder
In Portugal, "bica", a local esspresso-like drink is served using porcelain cups with Portuguese style cakes called "pasteis de nata".
Swedem has a McSki where skiers can ski up to the restaurant and place an order (ski thru?)
But NOTHING on the site about regional US Specialties. This started with me looking for the McLobster.
Is the Mcbratwurst any good?
It is interesting to read through the McDonald's international sites to see how they also contribute to each country with educational and medical programs.
re: Stanley Stephan
Recently McD introduced a Chicken Tandori Sandwich which I was able to try in Australia. Naan bread, yougurt dressing. It was pretty bad, but I just HAD to try it.
re: Stanley Stephan
A couple of years ago I found myself in McD's in Madrid. They had an impressive variety of salads (the ones where you pour in the dressing and shake), with several I wish were in the US. One had seafood, one had lots of veggies, and they all had lots of olives.
re: Iron Frank
Ah yes, the new Chicken Flatbread Sandwich.
Ew. Gross.
what they call flatbread is unlike any other flatbread I've seen- it comes pre-folded like a taco, is about 1/2 inch thick on each side of the filling, and is seasoned with something that just makes it horrible. I tried a sample of the bread, swallowed the first bite, and spit out the second. They're ripping off Jack In The Box (a VERY good fast food chain out here in the west) and their Chicken Fajita Pita.
McD's in several parts of the country serve a bratwurst sandwich -- called, of course, a McBrat.
-- Paul
Every McD's I've seen has the Fruit-N-Yogurt Parfait, so I imagine it's pretty commonplace. Seen advertisements for some new chicken and flatbread sandwich (looked like a chalupa), and I'm in the backwoods of Central Florida, so I'm sure it should be everywhere soon.
I noticed McVeggie burgers in NYC, and pizza (really underdone triangle-shaped Tree Tavern-type) in that huge Bass store they have in Kansas City.
Have seen Lobster Rolls advertised outside either Boston or Providence, but never got to try.
I read a while back that Miami was starting a Dulce de Leche milkshake and some other Cuban-style entree. . .can any Miami hounds confirm?
Several of the McDonald's in SoCal have added Mexican food to their menus (burritos, tacos, breakfast burritos, etc.). I haven't tried anything because it seems so out of place to me for McDonald's. My SO tried the breakfast burrito with chorizo and thought it was disgusting-too much fatty meat. They have also brought the McRib sandwich back for a "limited time" here in SoCal. I used to like it when I was younger, but am scared to try it now since I am old enough to realize that the quality of the meat is probably very low.
re: Samantha
The tacos are surprisingly good. I worked a lot in Mexico city and they are pretty true to the genre (I was eating at street vendors). Soft corn tacos, a little salsa, stewed (or something) chicken or beef. Not overly stuffed. They only had them for a limited time in SF.
I would like to know (maybe not) how McDonald's gets that "unique" texture in the McRib. That certain sponginess..
re: Stanley Stephan
I have to admit I like the Mcrib once or twice a year. The dyed on grill marks on the patty and simualted bones on the contour are pretty awesome touches.
re: Paul Weller
They just re-introduced the McRib in Toronto. As much as I shouldn't eat fast food, I'm going to have one!
re: chuck s
Okay, I'll come out of the closet :)...And I do think they're pretty good; it's the only time of year I venture into Micky D's (very convenient when summer antiquing takes one off the chow-path)...They're on an untoasted, unbuttered roll, which I think is a plus, and are made with minimal mayo, and served with some lettuce...I mean, it's not gourmet,(of course, lobster rolls by definition aren't..) but it's probably the healthiest thing they offer...
re: Kat Kinsman
The McCrabcake is not just in Baltimore...I've seen it on the Eastern Shore of Maryland during the summer months.
Up here on the frozen Tundra (Edmonton.AB) we seem to get all of the McDonald's 'inventions'. Sometimes I think we are the testing ground for these concoctions!
We've had McPizza (very nasty), McRibs, Fajitas, shak em up salads, the big Xtra, the crispy chicken deluxes, the breakfast burritos, breakfast bagels.. and just about anything else, unless it's really regional (no lobster here!)
I did notice in NC, they didn't have a McChicken on their regular menu like they do here, and when did they did have it, they had it on a plain bun, instead of a sesame seed one :)
P.S. Anyone know why they don't have fries at TacoHell down in the states?? :)
I know this is an old post but I just got back from a trip to Thailand and the McDonald's had a Pork Burger, a Samurai Pork Burger (don't know the difference) and a "Carribean" Shrimp Burger.
Also for dessert, pineapple pie and a choco banana pie!
The only way I'm eating McDonald's ever again is if I am in Japan and get me a MEGA TAMAGO. Just look at that thing! 3 patties, bacon, lettuce, egg, cheese, some kind of heart-stopper sauce..... MEGA TAMAGO!!!! Japan is awesome.
