Ramen or Lamen?

We ate out for lunch and had ramen which is my husband's favorite. He often eats out with his collegues, so he knows better than me where to go. Our 7-year-old son is a big eater, and he loves noodle. I was very surprised to see him ordering a refill which is called 「替え玉」 in Japanese!
Ramen is quite popular in Japan, and there is a wide variety of ramen---Miso ramen, Tonkotsu ramen, Shio ramen, etc. I have an interesting story about ramen, by the way.
There was a critical opinion about Japanese people's poor English skills.
"It's so funny that Japanese people often confuse "l" with "r" when they are speaking English. They even confuse ramen and lamen."
Hearing this, one Japanese guy replied.
"It's so funny that people from abroad confuse ramen with lamen. Those two aren't the same. I'm afraid you can't understand the subtle difference, can you?"
I like his witty very much!
