Ramen noodles - OT moved from a saxophone thread

[Vlad]

PN. I seem to recall paying maybe 39p or something in the 80s and now they're about a quid depending on where you get 'em, so comparatively the price rise in 40 years isn't too tragic
.. bear in mind at the same time I could have bought a secondhand 'vintage' Fender P Bass or even a Rickenbacker for about £200 and they're now into thousands, likewise you could pick up a second hand perfectly playable Alto or Tenor by any of the 'big names' for a couple of hundred quid, often less. I got an immaculate Selmer SBA alto for again about £200 prob in '79.
..so musical gear £££ has way outstripped the Pot Noodle ( or the Mc D )

My main tenor is valued as being worth 2,963 large pot noodles at Tesco (not club price).

I'd like to see you eat the tenor !
Didn't some lunatic grind up and eat a Volkswagen once ?

 

[Jimmymack]

I don't want to eat either.

Ever seen a thread that goes off topic? It can be hilarious.

Food does it every time. If a job comes with food ("food gig") the musician is happy. 😉

That’s why we have an Ignore/Unwatch button.

I don't know about a VW but 'Monsieur Mangetout' ate a Cessna light aircraft.

Monsieur Mangetout

I had to look him up, ... It is estimated that between 1959 and 1997, he "had eaten nearly nine tons of metal."

It must have been fun going through airport security.

Yes I agree, we used to do a regular Sunday lunch gig in a country pub, we got paid and had a Sunday lunch thrown in, used to love those gigs, then the pandemic hit.
The Sunday lunch was great worth turning up for on it's own, come to think of it I've never met a calorie I dislike.

So Pot Noodle has it's own thread now, I best not mention Kebabs....

 

[mizmar]

Kebabs, hamburger, pot noodles...
... All the major food groups

 

[Vlad]

A kebab with all the salad and trimmings was said to be a surprisingly good well balanced meal ( i could do one now tbh )
