I like Pot Noodles

[Pale Rider]

Not an easy thing to admit to the gourmands on here, but I am partial to a Pot Noodle.

Lots of different flavours available these days, and I've liked all the ones I've tried with the possible exception of macaroni cheese.

And at a supermarket offer price of 50p, Pot Noodles are excellent value.

Do you like them, and what's your favourite flavour?

Or feel free to tell me how revolting/disgusting/full of chemicals they are.

I have a cupboard full of them, they make an ideal snack to keep at work for emergencies or if you just want an easy meal.

Chilli beef is my current favourite.

Only one I will not try is the chicken and mushroom, mushrooms

I used to, back in my student days. I had one a few years ago and binned it after a couple of mouthfuls.

Did you remember to add hot water?

I went off them a few years ago.

I've only recently started buying them again and was pleasantly surprised.

Perhaps they've improved, or my taste has declined to their level.

I've never been able to eat a whole one.
Perhaps they have changed by now, but 20 or so years ago when I last tried one my digestive juices dried up

To be fair they're only noodles, I can't really be snotty as I'll often pop a packet of value noodles* in the chicken soup made from the roast left overs


*Diggs minor will only eat noodles if they're the value ones so there are always loads of packets in the larder

I haven't had one for a while. But pretty good for a snack. Though can be a little too salty for my taste.

My lad has one now and then, the last time he made one it smelt lovely. I had a forkful but it wasn't as nice as I remembered them from my younger days.

Even when on offer, Pot Noodles are an overpriced gimmick... give me something like this any day....

(not to be confused with Batcheler's 'super' noodles, which are also sh!te)

The lad lives on them ....
They are the very height of my profession .... absolutely lacking in food, but scrummy to eat!
I'm partial once in a while. No particular faves.

I find them a bit sloppy to eat. I prefer super noodles, but only the curry flavour. I only buy them occasionally when I give in to the unhealthy urge. I had them rather a lot when I was single.

You can't possibly live on them!

I've never eaten one, but I do sometimes do plain noodles in bouillon with an egg poached in it for my lunch, which is probably cheaper and probably has fewer additives (and less salt).
