I'm kind of amused that that US foods site is selling ramen noodles. I never really thought of ramen noodles as something that you'd specifically seek out.

I always though of them as lunch when you're just about out of money.

I imbibed everything in Jamaica but 75% of that was inside Sandals (don't judge, it was a gift).

Yeah. Not something that I can see ordering from a website.

Heh - a friend of mine writes a food blog focused (almost) entirely on ramen, but she means the kind of ramen she grew up eating in Osaka, not the kind that broke college kids eat here in the States. (Apparently it IS possible to find authentic Japanese ramen in NYC, but as with most good ethnic foods you have to leave Manhattan.)

Ha! I just saw it was Kara asking you to go to yoga! I say do the absinthe thing though, and report back!

I think this website is one of the only places I've ever seen "American" used this much as a selling point.

When you ladle out B&M Brick Oven Baked Beans, you’re dipping into real, authentic American food history! The B&M recipe is centuries old. B&M has been cooking up Brick Oven Baked Beans since 1867. Their beans are slow-baked in small batches in old-fashioned brick ovens and the beans are still hand-stirred for that rich, homemade American flavour.

Hamburger Helper has been a meal favorite for busy families since it was introduced more than three decades ago – providing an easy, delicious one-skillet solution to the question, “What’s for dinner?” Simply brown 1lb of minced beef, (Or any other meat), and then add milk, hot water, the sauce mix and uncooked pasta and simmer for approx 11 mins then remove from heat and allow to stand for a few minutes to thicken and then voila a delicious beef and Pasta Home cooked skillet meal, American style!

Made with 100% real Idaho Russet Potatoes for genuine American, Restaurant Style, Hash Brown Potatoes. Simply add water and butter and cook for 10 minutes and voila delicious American Hash Brown potatoes that Denny's would be proud of!

B&M Brick

That's a very unfortunate name for any food product.

When my bro lived in Luxembourg, he made everyone who visited bring brownie mix. They had an ex-pat shop there, but it catered to Brits.

Now he's lived in the Netherlands long enough that he doesn't miss any USA-type food.

Hell, I stay at Sandals too. I do encourage people to try non-chain hotels, but I will definitely say we can do all inclusive and there's no shame in that too--as long as you don't mistake it for the island as a whole.
