Learned this morning that Momofuki Ando, the Japanese creator of Cup Ramen, has died. I cannot begin to describe the debt I owe this man and his wonderful invention. Oh salty, soupy ambrosia. Oh instant carb delight.
Ando was inspired to develop the instant noodle after coming upon a long line of people on a cold night shortly after World War II waiting to buy freshly made ramen at a black market food stall, according to Nissin. The experience convinced him that “Peace will come to the world when the people have enough to eat,”
Thank you, sensei! Grateful ramen monkeys worldwide will build your world of peace!
