Pot Noodle.....what a let down

SpeedFreak · 5 Dec 2007 at 18:30

I just had my first Pot Noodle in about 5 years. I have always liked them, but just haven't had one in ages. So, I made one up when I got back from work today. I noticed on the lid it said 50% less salt. OMG this is sooo tasteless it is beyond belief. What a massive let down. There is just no flavour at all. Chicken and Mushroom btw.

Hmmm, add your own salt? Beef and Tomato / Original Curry ***.

Salt shaker...win.

But i know what you mean..i swear they remove more than just salt. Surely they weren't that unhealthy?

Beef one is my favourite.

Yep, I agree. I used to enjoy a quick Pot Noodle when sitting here at the computer. Ever since they changed them though I've switched over to Lidl's own brand Curry noodles. They're a far superior snack.

Back to Nissin Cup noodles for me I think. I think they must have cut out the MSG.

I still like the Bombay Bad Boy's, but get from the same company their microwave version noodles which are brilliant.

Never had a Pot Noodle before and I don't really intend to. Now especially that they're supposed to be worse.

I took a few when I went camping (all they are good for really) and even then when I was starving and soaking they didnt taste as nice as they used to.

Blue Dragon noodles > Pot Noodle.

All depends how much water you put in. I bet you're all over filling them.

Not at all, I don't like them to be runny at all.

I never realised there was an art to making a 'tasty' Pot Noodle. Isnt that the idea, they are designed to be easy to make.

That's where you're failing. It's one of the main things I've learnt being at university. Also, don't leave it for too long, they're quite good when they're crunchy!

Pot Noddles?!!!!?!

What are you lot on about. What a load of crap, they taste minging

I'd rather eat my damp and soggy foot after a days orienteering that that load of *****.

Mind you, my feet are always damp and soggy so maybe I wouldn't

Just to make sure everyone saw this

Toast and C&M Pot Noodle is fab....well, it was when I last had it. Not sure I've had a Pot Noodle since all this healthy stuff started happening.

no food stuff that can be made in a minute with boiling water is good, ever

if you want real food, make it

SpeedFreak · 5 Dec 2007 at 19:04

Rice noodles, an egg a slice of bacon and some to miu is pretty much the best snack ever. Takes about 3 minutes and tastes really good.

Barbecue Beef Super Noodles.

Can't beat em! Best ever. FACT!
