Pot noodle

[Lysander]

When's the last time you had a pot noodle? I just had one for the first time in about 15 years.

They had a dark one and a light-coloured one and I went for the light one. Turns out it's chicken and mushroom.

What an amazing thread.

Utter noob. Chicken and mushroom are the worst. Bombay bad boy or stick to cup soup.

Bombay bad boy

Never had it. Sounds promising though.

I went about 5 or 6 years (maybe a lot more, tbh) without having one, then bought a couple for a camping trip last summer. I enjoyed them so much they became a somewhat regular snack. I reckon I eat nearly one a week now.

Chicken and mushroom, Bombay Bad Boy are probably my favourite two.

Move on to Indomie and thank me later.

40p from Tesco, apparently.

They were much better in the 80s. Dunno what they changed, but some time after 1996 they just got utterly ****. I think they removed the little bits of quorn, maybe stopped using MSG or something?
But when something called a "Bombay Bad Boy" is the best they've got, they must have nuked the fridge and jumped the shark!

It's all about the Nongshim Shin Cup.

Some far better suggestions than "pot noobles" in here: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/best-instant-noodles.18794794/

Personally like the naked noodle range

Cant remember, many many years ago.

I prefer Super Noodles, well only the Chicken version

 

[jsmoke]

A few days ago, don't eat them much but decent enough for a snack.

 

[something daft already!!]

I can't remember when it was but I do recall they dont taste very nice and are not very filling. It must have been over 30 years I would imagine.

I’m not mad on pot noodles, but my favourite flavours are beef and tomato, curry and chow mein.

I prefer super noodles and Japanese cup noodles by quite a margin.

 

[something daft already!!]

Anyone remember this slightly racist one?

I'm not racist but.

 

[throwaway4372]

presumably they're too small also.

Many years ago they did a pot rice which was superb. I do partake in the odd Bombay Badboy, and a recent addition Sticky Rib is quite good.

They're acceptable food when drunk, but then so are a lot of things. I think the last one I had was in fact a Bombay Bad Boy when I was wasted, probably about 15 years ago. I can't say I've been tempted since.

EDIT: Please change the title back to Pot Nooble, as it is in GD

If you have powdered msg, you can simply add it back in, or just at salt, or soy sauce, or a combination of the three.

Those childhood memories will come flooding back.

I prefer the supernoodle pots.

Having to mess about with the sauce sachet annoys me.

They taste nicer too....
