Pot Noodle.....what a let down

[meths]

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.

Yeah, the swines ruined Chcken and Mushroom and Beef and Tomato for me.

Now I only eat the ones I hadn't tried before because I don't know what they tasted like before the salt was removed and that's working out okay.

Bombay Bad Boys gives me the squittery ditterys

 

[Strife212]

Yeah, everyone I know has stopped eating pot noodle because they have become foul

"Healthy Eating" has owned them

Rimmer: Oh, and I found a pot noodle and a tin of dog food.

Lister: Well its obvious what'll get eaten last. I can't stand pot noodles.

The Bombay Bad Boys taste the same as they always have for me. My main complaint is that there's not enough hot sauce. There should be at least double the amount. One sachet is just too mild.

I did resort to putting a load of diced chilli pepper in one of my Bombay Bad Boys once, as well as the sachet of hot sauce. It was brutal but I can handle it because I'm so manly and hardcore.

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

if you want real food, make it

How about egg noodles, miso paste and some soy. Add boiling water, wait, eat, de-lish.

Just had a chicken and mushroom. Pitiful.

I used to find them really sickly to be honest and hardly ever finished it but the new flavourless flavour is totally different.

Pot Noodles are disgusting!

Holy thread revival, Batman.

The best Pot Noodle by far, is the Bombay Bad Boy flavour.

Are they still crammed with MSG?

I'd assume so. All instant stuff is - cupasoups, pot noodles etc. Avoid like the plague!

Years ago pot noodle tasted a lot betterthan they do now. The low salt ones are vile creations ( well more vile than they normally are )


Salt makes food taste better if its the kind of food that doesnt have good wholesome natural flavours. Taking it out is like removing the jam from a doughnut, possible but kinda pointless.

I agree. Since they got all "healthier", they taste like ****.

If you want a good noodle snack - go for Shin cups found in the occasional supermarket and most ethnic food stores.

Years ago (maybe 13-14) spicy curry (or original curry) pot noodles came with a nice tasting sauce. Then they changed it to that mango chutney stuff they put in the nice n spicy pot noodle... went downhill from there. Might even have been when golden wonder produced them?
