And WTF is “Range Style”?

- Only 159 Shopping Days Left!
July 19, 2010 | 11:12 amThe BBC reports that the British department store Selfridge’s will officially roll out its Christmas shopping season this year on AUGUST 2. But American retail chain Toys R Us has them beat with a “Christmas In July” sale that runs this week. (although, as far as I can tell, that’s just a sale and not [...]
- Anti-Social
June 14, 2010 | 11:32 amOn Friday, I decided to stop having Facebook scrape and post my blog feed. I just don’t feel like blog posts fit the very ephemeral vibe of FB, and, frankly, it irritates the living crap out of me when people post comments about the blog posts on FB instead of posting them here. I am [...]
- Tag, You’re It!
April 21, 2010 | 11:43 amIn my copious spare time, usually whilst sitting in the waiting area at Charlotte’s karate studio, I have been making slow but steady progress toward adding tags to all the posts on this site. As of right now, I have completed tagging all the way back to April 1, 2008. The current archive of this [...]
- Follow-up: World’s Shortest Man
March 16, 2010 | 1:49 pmJust the other day I posted about a young man from Nepal who was trying to get into the Guinness Book of World Records as the shortest man in the world. He’s only 22 inches tall, compared to the 29-inch tall He Pingping of China, who is the current record holder. Well, WAS the current [...]

Dear Harvey, Pete, Barry, Kevin, and every other weathermonkey on Boston-area TV: Enough is enough. The fucking blizzard was THIRTY-TWO YEARS AGO. It’s time to stop trotting out the same blurry videotape of cars stuck on Rt. 128 that is older than some of the people who are actually on your broadcast, just so we [...] - Follow-up: I’ll Take Menhaden
February 10, 2010 | 11:14 amI recently posted about the use of menhaden in making fish oil dietary supplements and the potential risk that poses to the entire Atlantic Ocean ecosystem. One of the alternatives to using menhaden for omega-3 supplements is algae oil, because algae is the primary diet of the menhaden and is actually the source of all [...]

It’s going to be a long two months waiting for the iPad to actually ship so that all the tech bloggers and their hangers-on will stop writing so much speculative bullshit about iT and turn their attention iNstead to some other thing that’s going to Change Life As We Know iT. Since you cannot click [...] - New Year, Same Old Nonsense

Please, please, PUH-LEEZE stop talking about “What do we call the last decade?” Nobody could come up with an acceptable choice ten years ago, and nobody’s going to come up with one now. “Aughties” and “Naughties” are contrived and stupid, and so is the very idea that anything wraps up all nice and neatly into [...] - Tiger, Tiger Burning Bright
December 3, 2009 | 9:58 amThis week Barack Obama committed the United States to at least two more years of war, 30,000 troops in harm’s way for no other reason than saving face, and umpteen billions of dollars wasted FOR NO GOOD REASON WHATSOEVER and we are inundated with: Tiger Woods proving he knows how to put it in the [...]

Range style means that the noodles and clams were allowed to roam free before they were rounded up, clocked in the head and stuffed into a tiny styrafoam cup…of course in a most humanitarian way.
no…so-very-wrong. But at least they didn’t add the evil tomatoes to it.
Noodles? Gah! Sacrilege! Even without the evil tomatoes (though I agree with jo’s assessment there).
Karan’s description sounds a little like the recipe for ‘Crunchy Frog’ dontcha think?
How do you make a frog crunchy?
Leave the bones in, of course.
Noodles? In chowdah? Blasphemer!
To me it’s not so much the idea of noodles in chowder as it is whatever processed freeze-dried hell must constitute the powder that becomes the “soup”, and I *do* mean ” “.
I used to have the Fantastic Foods or Nile Spice soup cups for lunch, and the Fantastic Foods corn chowder wasn’t bad. But the idea of freeze-dried clams…? I’m sorry, as much as I like clams (steamed clams, fried clams, clam cakes, clam fritters, clam chowder, clams on the half shell, clamartini, etc.), the idea of freeze-dried clam bits makes me wince. It really shouldn’t, considering all the other freeze-dried and other ways we eat foods known and unknown all the time. But that, I suppose, is your point. So I’ll not be having the Cup Noodle Range Style New England Clam Chowder for lunch, I guess.
