Pot Noodles

[WCZ]

Yes/No ?

[calibrax]

Yes.

Mainly because they are a very quick and convenient meal, and they do taste ok. Chicken & Mushroom or Beef & Tomato are the ones I prefer.

Although a few years ago they changed the recipe to reduce salt... which ironically means you usually end up having to add salt to them yourself!

Ah the pot noodle. Life's filthy little secret! Add salt, pepper, chilli, and more ketchup and you are onto a winner! Mop up with white bread.

Bombay Bad Boys. Surprisingly hot but great.

I went through a Pot Noodle addiction phase. Was a scary time

[x 7usc]

Yes indeedy, Bombay Bad Boys here also, with the added salt.

Try the 'Mama' instant Thai noodles if you want heat.

You can find them in Tescos

They need it... since the change they can be a bit lacking in flavour.

Yes, meal, albeit a small one. If I'm working late and get home at midnight, I don't want to be cooking at that time, but I'm hungry... so, kettle on, Pot Noodle, job done.

was never a fan of the beef and tomato ones chicken and mushroom with added salt is the way forward

[chilistrucker]

always an emergency supply under the bunk of the lorry.
you never know when and where your gonna break down

[kiteless]

For occasional slaggery, I do enjoy Chicken & Mushroom with some added soy.

But for decadence, I prefer the trad curry pot with added spicy mango chutney and liberal splashes of Rooster's Louisiana Hot Sauce

Best served as an ironic amuse bouche at dinner parties.

I used to think these were seriously hot, then I didn't have one for a while, and started having Naga sauce on the sarnies at work on a daily basis. When I went back to the Bombay Bad Boy, it was so mild in comparison I couldn't believe it, like a barely lit oven next a raging bonfire.

I do like Pot Noodles, the Kebab one was nice, but the Beef and Tomato will always be my favourite. However, I rarely eat them and when I do want a noodle snack in a pot, I don't bother with Pot Noodle, because they cost more and have less content than their competitors. Cheap Korean noodle pots from the ethnic shelf at Tesco are much better value for money, and nicer imo.

Aldi do a reasonable copy for 49p .

I always add extra chilli.

When pot noodles first came out they were unbelievably exotic and were in short supply

Chicken and Mushroom but I remove the mushrooms.. with white bread.
