Yeah the beef flavor is the same as a bullion cube. So those could be soup starter or flavoring for beens. I guess the same could be said for the pork flavor. The chicken is the one i just can't do since it seems to be the saltiest.i have been experimenting with ramen, noodles only, cooked with a can of chicken noodle soup. lots less salt, good carbs kick and flavor. i throw the "flavor salt licks" in a container for the real shtf days or trading
There's a damn good Japanese place in Brunswick called Seasons of Japan. They make real Ramen there and it's like a whole different thing. If you wind up in Brunswick and want a good lunch quick its in the Target/Lowes shopping center. But yeah the plain noodles are versatile and could replace other bulkier pasta.
