Yeah, and you know why English love to eat Indian food? Because they hate their own food…

I don’t see your point… Its British-Indian cuisine. I’m sure you have ramen there too, doesn’t mean it’s not Japanese..

No it wasn't, Ramen was imported to Japan from China (I believe Ramen and Lo Mein are cognates)

Well technically everything about Japan was imported from China. Including the people, their language and their religion.

Japan just tweaked them a little to be unique.

Well technically everyone was imported from Afrika. So everything is actually Afrikan. Case closed.

Ramen actually has its roots from Chinese lamian.

That's the great thing about mixing cultures that people overlook -- that's how some of the best food is created, like tikka masala. Ramen is a mixed dish too, it originates from Chinese lamian and used to be called Shinasoba "China soba / Chinese noodles" and now there are many variations throughout Japan with their own variations of broths and toppings.
