Had a meal I haven't had for 40yrs

Wife is away today at Boundary Mill and Bury Market so I was left to look after myself - So comes evening meal I thinks - What shall I have ??

Off I go and raid the backup stores and comes out with Beef Pot Noodle - Bare in mind the title - I last had one before I got married.

It was as disgusting now as it was then - So are they all the same or is there good and bad Pot Noodles.

This was a Lidl special from 5 years ago. It still hadn't reached it's use by date - 2019 so God knows what was in it.

Took two glasses of Brandy to get rid of taste.

Theyre mostly awful, but a few of the flavours are tolerable. I like the bombay bad boy, but it makes your face/mouth hurt if you put the sauce in.

Don't knock the beef pot noodles I say!

I don't see the problem with them now and again, you must have been living the high life for too long.

Ping them in the microwave for 1m 30s after adding the boiling water and first stir, makes them edible

people eat them because they're awful. its psychological. trust me.

I love a chicken and mushroom king pot noodle along with a medium pork pie for dipping into the juices! Mmmmmmm

I like a pot noodle now and then. Reminds me of my childhood. Things that take you back to your childhood are precious to be honest.

They don't put any salt in them any more. Add salt and I quite like them as a naughty grim treat

They're pretty horrible.

Super Noodles on the other hand...

I tend to find most instant noodles horrible. Nongshim are nice though with some added garnishes.

Don't mind a Beef & Tomato now and again with a bit of bread and butter!

ETanny · 19 Nov 2015 at 21:12

Oh gosh...I honestly don't remember the last time I had a pot noodle or supernoodles for that matter!!

Craig321 · 19 Nov 2015 at 21:15

Yeah pot noodles are gross, always have been. I'm a massive fan of noodles, eating Big Bon from Russia through to China on the train got me hooked

. What you want is Nong Shim

Deo_volente · 20 Nov 2015 at 12:52

Chicken & Mushroom Pot Noodle + gravy granules (and the soy sauce sachet) = WIN!

I thought it was only me that liked this particular delicacy...

Pot Noodle sandwich with lots of butter - though not very often...

Can't say I'm a fan but do like to prepare some Nong Shim noodles once in a while, local Tesco has a nice selection.

Also disgusting. Better off buying the instant noodles from the foreign foods aisle instead, they're far nicer (and cheaper, usually).
