I LOVE Pot Noodles - Is This Wrong?

[ChrisFilter]

I'm sure someone has been along to point this out, but there's nothing wrong with MSG. It's fine. It's actually not as bad for you as salt. All a slightly xenophobic myth.

Peach dress what?

Pot noodles are rank. They stink too. Uuuuugh.

Just had a bowl of samyang kimchi noodles

514 kcals (plus a few more from the sweet chilli sauce I added)
2.1 grammes sodium.

To be perfectly honest I don't like them that much - tends to leave me a tad bloated and it's a bit on the fiery side.

At the very least I ought to use miso soup instead and chuck in some fresh veggies ...

I like having a few fork fulls of "dry" pot noodle before i eat mine, i also love the soggy goo around the base of the pot.

This is very wrong.

I drink the liquid

i put them in a liquidiser with two pints of luke-warm water. so they are ONLY liquid.

i call it the 'pot noodle 5-a-day smoothie' so it's healthy.

 

[chico enrico]

And Bakunin, think of how much salt you're consuming with 4 pot noodles a day.

what's wrong with salt?

Nong Shim makes (IMO) the nicest kimchi noodles. Though I think any kimchi would leave you a bit bloated and firey. It is spicy saurkraut, after all.

Pot Noodle seems a bit weak after having the Korean and Japanese ones. Their noodles are a bit nicer, and you notice these things.

Er....

How have you failed to miss the advertising campaigns and general common sense about too much salt being bad for you?

yes, but that just applies to that salt that they put on the road when it's icy, not the stuff you have on your dinner table to pour all over your chips, pizza, ice cream etc.

Pot noodles aren't very nice - at least the ones with that brand name. Some of the newer makes are better, and less synthetic tasting.

I have never had a Pot Noodle but I would peal the lid back for the time it took the noodles to absorb the water then I would take lid fully off to eat.

Remove it altogether then while the noodles are softening I mix cheese and beans to add to my main, a jacket potato

You're just grumpy because they poo-pooed your notion of a blobfish pot noodle

I bought a thing called Naked Noodles for a snack at the weekend. There was about 2 inches of noodles/powder at the bottom of an enormous pack. Absolute fucking rip off. The noodles were also cut into little 1 inch pieces. Surely a large part of the joy of noodles is wrestling great long strands of carby goodness into your mouth?

Would not recommend.

Eh?

i've turned the volume up for you

[cybershot]

I've been eating far too many of these lately. I normally keep a stash at work in case I happen to have no lunch want something warmer than sandwiches or find it difficult to get away from desk, the cold mornings this past week have meant spending what is making lunch time in the mornings to defrosting the car time. I have another king chicken and mushroom pot lined up for today!

The only good thing about pot noodles is the washed out, empty pot. I use them when painting.
I can't stand them otherwise, taste terrible and the msg (even at the current reduced level) affects me badly.

 

[skyscraper101]

I like them. But they're not cheap. And I find eating out of the pot annoying. I'd rather have Super Noodles in a bowl.

 

[purenarcotic]

I love pot noodles, you lot are well miserable. Chicken and mushroom or Bombay bad boy only though.

I peel the foil lid back but not fully, put it back on when the water is added then take off fully when they’re ready to eat.

There is a supermarket on campus at a local university. It stocks a vast array of noodles, pot and regular. From the four corners of the world, mystery ingredients and unreadable (to me) labels. We get them as surprise food, like a lucky dip sort of.

 

[Chilli.s]

Wtf?

 

[Pickman's model]

Wtf?

wtaf?

 

[equationgirl]

Still prefer nong shim or shiin Cup noodles. Lovely.
