[Closed] pot noodle?

If I was stranded on a desert island with my wife, my 3 kids, my dog and a pot noodle........... The dog and i'd eat the pot noodle last.*

* Not really. I actually quite like the Sweet and Sour one and the Chow Mein.

Bombay Bad Boy - not so much.

Id eat the plastic tub first, then your wife, the kids can wait until the end of the week, the dog can go get help.

I'd eat ton. He'd last ages.
Haven't had a pot noodle since mum used to leave em for us in the school holidays.

Food of the god (Mercury) IME - fast to assemble and fast to eat - I mean, who needs cutlery; you can just drink the bloody thing*.

I can knock up some fried chicken (pre-cooked, frozen and defrosted) and egg noodles with an additional 2 mins cooking and prep for a quick meal so don't eat them these days.

*Edit : Okay, a tad misleading. A fork can be useful for guiding the slop away from the edges of your mouth as it slips in.

Terrible stuff, especially since the noodle bar opened down the road from work - theirs are excellent.

They do pot pasta now too, yum yum

I wouldn't go out of my way to eat one but if it was that or nothing then I'd wolf it down.

pot noodle is

food

Pot noodles can be meated out a bit by adding a packet of crisps of your choice.

pot noodle sarnie is also a tasty treat

except the Bombay badboy flavour

who are you? Marco Pierre White?

Taste ok outdoors preferably at altitude, not so much at home

Bombay bad boy for the win!

must be accompanied by a good dollop of encona

Hungy now.

Food of the Gods. At least the chicken and mushroom King Pot is.

The King Pots taste different (but better) than the regular-sized pots. All are very sensitive to the amount of water added. NEVER fill to the line - always fill to 2mm over the level of the noodle after first using the fork to push it down.

I have one waiting for me at home tonight.

quite fond of korean pot poodle.

I just have noodles. Cheaper and you can add whatever sauces you fancy. Just a chilli sauce or just soy and sesame oil with some chilli flakes.

used to love beef and tomato, it was always my tea of choice when my parents went out and i was left to fend for myself as a teen

I used to love Chicken & Mushroom pot noodles nowadays I tend to pick up some instant noodles whenever I go into Birmingham city centre from the various Asian supermarkets that are dotted about.
NongShim Ramyun noodles are the current favorites, the Kimchi ones are pretty good as well though not as spicy.

Fleeting satisfaction for a few seconds after eating it.
Feel like I've corrupted myself almost immediately after...and I don't mean sh*tting myself 😉

I alternated between a pot noodle and 2 tubes of pringles and two pot noodles and a tube of pringles every day for six months on one of my tours of Bosnia, still love them. That said I love kebabs when I'm sober too 🙂

I like these korean ones

Perfect endurance food. There’ll be about a million eaten at relentless this weekend

I always eat a king size pot noodle beforehand if I'm doing a long bike ride, there's probably a lot better stuff out there but I've found them one of the best things to keep me going.

Has to be beef and tomato with less water than you're meant to use and an extra dollop of tomato sauce 😆

I stopped eating them when they ceased to do the chicken curry pot rice, now that was outstanding poured over potato waffles and then in to bread for sarnies,pre football match meal that.

Always had a couple of beef and tomato stuffed behind the seat in our old van when we worked in the wilds of the Welsh forests. Who knew when you’d need emergency supplemental nutrition due to extra work, fires, snow or someone’s stolen your car battery...

Old Coleman gas stove and kettle were always under the drivers seat with some teabags and dried milk with the cup a soup and pot noodle stash.

They’re sort of cold weather comfort food to me but eaten very rarely now.

I like the Beef and Tomato ones, but they make me feel rough for about 4 hours afterwards.

Kabuto’s where it’s at for me these days.

used to love beef and tomato, it was always my tea of choice when my parents went out and i was left to fend for myself as a teen

Amazing stuff. best eaten withh white bread + marj

they are all vegetarian and most of them are vegan

Still would not eat one

Junkyard - lazarus

and why does that not suprise me........ 😆

Mmmmm beef an tomato for me with a round of welll buttered toast.

Can't knock a noodle, I like to make mine a bit wetter so there's a good slurp of salty goodness in the bottom, chicken and mushroom all the way

Anyone else scared to ask how he makes it more liquidy and salty 😯

In Tokyo, where I spend a bit of time , there is a pot noodle museum!! You can design & make your own flavour!!

I can't eat proper pot noodles but I do like a crystal noodle cup- ideal for when you get back to a hotel and only have a kettle but can't be arsed to go get food

Now I like a Pot Noodle as much as the next man, but I had the misfortune to try a mac n cheese one not so long ago. ''Twas absolutely gopping

Good to know the Mac & cheese one tastes as bad as it sounds, I've always avoided it based on the colour of the pot 😆

The sticky rib flavour is quite nice too.

so, from the replies the consensus is Food of the gods. 8)

I like 'Mug Shots' (not the facial photo ones, the packet type pot noodles, which aren't in a pot so you put them in a mug & add water. Or you could empty them into an ex Pot Noodle pot & use that instead)

Usually have a Pot Noodle or Mugshot for my lunch.
My favourite has to be sweet and sour 🙂

Thai mug shots are the shizz yo!

Chicken and mushroom Pot Noodle sandwich FTW. 🙂

naked noodles all the way. far better in every aspect.

for naked noodle.

I like a mama tom yum noodle, with a good dollop of kimchi stirred in

Never ever tasted a pot noodle but vesta chow mein was the dogs bollocks years ago
Maybe the dried meat was dogs bollock but it did taste good

Junky, I just think of you sweet cheeks

Cheese and tomato pot noodle, circa 1987. Nom.

There are many. many 'better' instant noodle snacks than Pot Noodle. There are many, many tastier instant noodle snacks than Pot Noodle.

But nothing, NOTHING hits the dirty lunch happy button harder than a Bombay Bad Boy King Pot Noodle...

[img] [/img]

Almost on a par with Flaming Hot Monster Munch in the 'tastes of nothing but hot' bizarrely addictive flavour stakes.

I hate them.....except the chicken and mushroom which is my 'dirty little secret'. Needs MUCH more soy than the sachet provided though

From Viz, some years ago...

Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoelaces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow it to stand for 2 minutes before taking one mouthful and throwing it away. Just like the real thing

Feeling ill, hungover, run down or gone too hard out on your bike?

A Pot Noodle will cure what ails ya!

Sometimes all you need is a good hit of salt, and for that I can't think of anything better than a Pot Noodle... Except maybe 2 Pot Noodles! Yeah sod the expensive King Pot Noodles, I just eat the normal ones 2 at a time, having stocked up when they're 50p each in the Supermarket.

Funny thing is I never had them as a kid, this is a very recent thing! And I'll go months and months without touching one, then if I'm feeling rough, I'll eat 2 a day for 3 or 4 days straight, until I'm literally pissing Brine!

Bombay Bad Boy for the win!

pot noodle sarnie is also a tasty treat

Had one the other day while the missus was away, first time in years and it was gorgeous!

Bunch of peasants

Never ever tasted a pot noodle but vesta chow mein was the dogs bollocks years ago
Maybe the dried meat was dogs bollock but it did taste good

That takes me back. That combination of slimy noodle and crispy noodle was a winner

I think as a kid I used to have beef an tomato with toast every school day as dinner at me grannys wit a choc angel delight an a bag of whotsits, probably for a couple of years.

Then I think I had a few years with a Clark’s pie an a pasty instead of them.

Gotta love a nutritionally balanced childhood

I miss the Posh noodles.
I do enjoy a Bombay Bad Boy on occasion, it's been a while since my last one.

BBBs are nice. Do they still make the Nice n Spicy (a la Nik Naks) flavour?

Tesco started selling this which I like. May be too hot for many of you. 😛
