I eat ramen noodles
twice a week.
If I were rich
would I still do that?
Probably.  But how
would ramen noodles taste
with caviar?

		Funny, but I think "ramen" should be capitalized.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.

Finally got around to researching that question. 
 Ramen is not a proper name or associated with one, purely the term for wheat noodles; Japanese, derived from the Chinese (as are the noodles themselves).
That being the case, I've edited by italicizing it as a foreign word.  In US parlance it implies cheapness (20 cents for a standard pack of instant 
ramen); freshly-made 
ramen in a Japanese region's characteristic style and toppings, not so much aside from connections with the black market and 
yakuza during the Occupation.  Wonderful thing, Wikipedia, so long as there's no political axe to grind.
