Why would you read 'not at all' in to that? Ramen noodles originated from China before making their way to Japan. Unless you're from either of those places it's pretty foreign.
"per" is a latin preposition with a couple meanings depending on its phrase. In "per se" the word "se" is meant to mean the agent of an action, and in that context "per" can be translated into English as "through" or "by means of." The word "se" is a reflexive pronoun along the lines of English "him/her/itself."I'm getting this from five years of latin classes.also it's pretty depressing that someone could go from the latin language to the movie American Pie.
