No? Well, Twitter user @huynasaur apparently does, and rectified that oversight with a barf-inducing Christmas meal made with plenty of original flavour Mountain Dew, the tropical-flavoured &#8220;Baja Blast&#8221; variant, and Nacho Cheese Doritos-flavoured noodles.<\/p>\n<p>You may be asking &#8220;why&#8221; right now, and we don&#8217;t blame you, but Huy simply states that it was &#8220;pretty delicious&#8221; and that they made it &#8220;for all the gamers out there&#8221;, and leaves it at that.<\/p>\n<p>Colour and dubious flavour aside, though, the preparation and attention to detail that went into this ramen &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/huynasaur\/status\/1342677925955477504\">as described by Huy in a Twitter thread<\/a> &#8211; is downright impressive. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/huynasaur\/\">Over on Huy&#8217;s Instagram<\/a>, you can see that they&#8217;re pretty dedicated to ramen, and this gamer stunt is just the latest in a line of much more edible-looking ramen dishes.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\"><\/aside>\n<p>The dashi (a fishy soup base) was made by soaking kombu (a type of seaweed) in Baja Blast, a concoction Huy calls &#8220;Mountain Dewshi&#8221;. The shio tare (a seasoning sauce) and the broth were both made as standard, and not to gamer specifications, but the ajitama (marinated eggs) were placed in a container with <em>more<\/em> Mountain Dew, some sake, and mirin, turning them an unappetising green.<\/p>\n<p>Topped with chashu (braised pork belly), pickled daikon, and a whole heaping dose of gamer pride, this green-and-orange dish probably won&#8217;t be making it to restaurants near you. At least, we hope.<\/p>\n<p>Would you eat this ramen? Do you think it actually makes you better at gaming? Let us know your thoughts down below, but remember: we neither made this, nor do we condone this violence against food.
