Fair point, but I had the opposite experience. This pairs weirdly well with ramen.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. My friend tried it in São Paulo and had the opposite result.

I would push back gently on the useful part. This pairs weirdly well with lentil soup.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated.
