Red Raspberry Dollars, but not enough of them to spoil my dinner ...

(it's a tamer, fruity cousin of Red Hot Dollars. They didn't have those at the CVS yesterday)

Oh God, you don't really want to know... Basically it's a packet of spices and dried noodles. You brown some ground hamburger meat, then add the contents of the box and some water and boil until the noodes are done. It's gross.

Oh, and the mascot is this creepy-ass glove with a red nose. Because he's lending a "helping hand," get it?

Oh yeah, Razz, no one will hold it against you--we used to eat that stuff all the time, back when our digestive systems would still put up with it. That was my first real age-crisis, in my early twenties when my body started saying, "No, fuck you!" and all of a sudden I couldn't eat stuff like that anymore. The first time I got an honest-to-god craving for vegetables was a shock, too.

Flat iron steak with duck fat frites, and Pilsner Urquell.

I feel a little bit guilty saying that. I'm very sorry, Razz.

It's tons better than Marmite.

You're British. You don't have much room to criticize. Blood Pudding, Spotted Dick, and all that.

Sadly my age has nothing to do with it. I'm living with my dad now instead of my mom (oh ok so my age has a little to do with it) and surviving off of bachelor food when I'm not home to cook as been...interesting. He had the "helper" mixed up before I came home from work, so it's what I ate.

Oh come on. You can't compare revolting, real traditional dishes, with revolting packet food. Better to compare it with supernoodles....which as far as i can tell have no nutritional value and unless they're chicken flavour (which I love) are utterly vile.

Does drinking count? Blackcurrant tea.
