I doubt they would even eat that goyslop. They got the freshest, finest cuts of meat prepared by the best cooks for every meal.
That's food for poor people, sorry murican, but real food has a different taste. A King or noble will notice.
Overprocessed shit might be a novelty for a moment but without the constant marketing and availability would be seen as the shit it is.
You're missing the elephant in the room. It's not about the meat. It's about spices. To ancient people, they were worth their weight in gold. That little bag of spices in a quick ramen? You could buy a castle or even two for one of those bad boys.
Now I know what I would do with a time machine.
No you couldn't this is extremely delusional
The spice trade was profitable because spice could be transported in large quantities. If a trader pulled into port with a pack of ramen he would’ve gone bankrupt.
Most likely, keep in mind that flavor was hard to come by, spices were expensive as hell whereas we put them all over even our poorest of meals today.
Most likely not luxury for a king, you underestimate their wealth, but it would have been luxury for the average Joe where as now it’s affordable for the poor to eat daily and your right about expense of spices, cloves at one time were worth more than gold
>spices were expensive as hell
only some were. others were relatively common
it would depend how accessible it is
I don't know about noodles but in Japan white rice was a luxury food mostly restricted to the samurai class, while peasants ate unpolished but healthier brown rice. Because the polished rice was so deficient in nutrients, urban samurai would often get the 'Edo sickness' (ie. thiamine deficiency), the cure for which was to go live in the countryside an eat peasant food for a while.
>japan white rice was a luxury food mostly restricted to the samurai class, while peasants ate unpolished but healthier brown rice
actually rice only diets are bad but it is true brown rice had more thiamine so peasants avoided the worst effects of beriberi. beriberi was common in Japan until the modern period. Buddhist restrictions on diet didn't help the situation https://www.healthline.com/health/beriberi
>Japanese luxury food is clearly worse then peasant food to the point that it’s acknowledged that eating peasant food makes you feel better
We’re they retarded? Wtf lol
>We’re they retarded
unironically yes. beriberi is a terrible disease to have and normally you'd try to do anything to stop it
I think if anyone in the ancient past had a pack of Maruchan chicken instant noodles a cold can of Coca-Cola it would completely blow their minds and they'd beg for more.
Ramen? Not really
The "fancier" Mcdonalds burgers might have some appeal though
when instant ramen noodles were first invented they were a luxury item believe it or not
yes, the way the wheat is shaped, the flavors, it would be a novel dish they might serve at a banquet
This shit would be worth gold even in the early 1900s simply because it's freeze dried.
>in the past
Depends on the century
Subway would be.
Yes, the ingredients of each McDonalds item would blow the mind of anyone back then.
Nobody would give a fuck about your dried ramen though
if you said the noodles were the brains of an exotic animal they would eat it up
