This is a vote. Right Now it seems to be a vote between Ramen and "African". The majority of the regulars probably voted for Ramen since we've been talking about it for more than a year... and decided it was a good time to do it. African cuisine, with all its merits (and I do have some dishes that I like) came up ~15 days ago. [For some reason I "hear" anger from your posts. Even when you say your not, and I could totally be wrong... and I hope I am.] Let the vote roll, have fun with WHATEVER is decided (that's the point), and suggest African cuisine next time if it doesn't win this time around.
