In that case I'll stay in the same category for ease and take Donald Trump.

Also apparently IRTM has dropped out and Nich wants to replace him - LINK

For English monarch, I'll take Alfred the Great.

My reveal might be slow btw as if I'm planning on eating all the dishes- bought or cooked

Non-western food: curry

I think this might need to be a bit more specific. Curry means different things to different cultures.


But open to what others think

So...writeup number 1.

Ramen



A Japanese noodle soup dish based off of a Chinese wheat noodle dish. Ramen is one of the few dishes that can be horrendously simple to make, and yet can be so complicated at the same time. I'm sure everyone here has had ramen at some point in time, after all students live on it apparently!

There are an unbelievable amount of variations of ramen, starting from the simplest Instant Ramen noodles that the aforementioned students buy in bulk, down to the different regions of Japan having their own ramen variation which they swear by, for example the miso ramen made famous in Hokkaido, and the tonkotsu ramen from Kyushu.

At the end of the day, it's a simple dish. Noodles in a broth/soup with some flavourings, and occasionally some meat. Nothing more than that. And yet its become one of the most popular dishes in the world.

And yes, as you can probably guess, I am a sad schmuck who makes his own Tonkotsu broth (a not so fun 14hr job!)

Your category, your call.

I'd say is a bit vague.

Yah sorry deli if you can specify a bit then.

I’ll just keep irtm’s category if that’s ok

Yeah sure. You owe one pick Nich, then, after filthys go its you (we are on our way back up the snake)

Indian curry

elizabeth I for monarch

i hate to pick a despot imperialist ahole, but she is such a clear number one in this category i had to take her

i mean just to be a woman ruler at all back then. but when she took over england was blah blah blah, and by the end of her reign england was the ruler of the world

and she refused to marry!

so is it nichp's turn, or bolt? and what is nichp's category?

Nich (owes 2).

Same cat as irtm

nichp's go, he's got two picks, and he's keeping irtm's category

Ok I’ll pick 2 now

allegedly tonkotsu broth in the instant pot is quite fast, assuming thats the one you don't need/want to be clear

I'll take Half-Life: Alyx as undoubtedly the best single player game of the past 5 years

and number two is...

Ok, you want VORM so I’ll take Queen Victoria whose VORM was off the charts

For food, I'll take the food that's so delicious that they named a day of the week after it.

Aren't they western?

Mexico is valid, per the description, unless I'm completely misreading it.
