I LOVE Pot Noodles - Is This Wrong?

[nyxx]

They're completely wrong but I like them as well. (I'd say it was a guilty pleasure but I don't feel that guilty about it really..)
If you wash the pot out and use it for something it's not quite so bad.

I'm on my third one of the day at the moment and have a fourth lined up for later.

4 pot noodles in one day gives you the entire recommended daily calorie intake for an average adult, apparently.

i'd not have believed it but it's true

 

[danny la rouge]

I don’t like noodles.

 

[8ball]

You can probably survive on them for a decent amount of time (adds to "Brexit bunker shopping list"...).

 

[Saul Goodman]

Yes. Very.

 

[Shechemite]

I don’t like noodles.

Supernoodles now come on pot form. And are much better than pot noodles

Maybe Danny got food poisoning from them and the trauma from shitting through the eye of a needle has never left him.

Having been triggered and subliminally programmed by reading this thread, I felt strangely compelled to buy this when I saw it in the local shop, even though I've still got a couple in the cupboard from months ago

I'll have this one for elevenses or supper* tomorrow

I'll let you know how it goes




*Got me thinking now

Breakfast
Elevenses
Brunch
Tiffin°
Lunch (dinner if wc)
Tea (cuppa and biscuits, cake etc) (if wc / lmc)
High tea (bigger meal - cake stands, desserts, finger sandwiches, hors d'oeuvre, smoked salmon, champagne) (if umc / uc)
Dinner (tea if wc)
Supper
Snack before bed

What have I missed?

Presumably there's a 50 page thread with no definitive answer

°tiffin is associated with a sort of hurried early lunch iirc?

Wiki says

[Tiffin is an Indian English word for a type of meal. It can refer to the midday luncheon or, in some regions of the Indian subcontinent, a between meal snack,[1]or in South Indian usage, a light breakfast.[2] When used in place of the word "lunch", it does not necessarily mean a light meal.[3]/QUOTE]

Shut up and eat your noodles

Shut up and eat your noodles

That's the spirit

My cheapo pot noodle only has 14% of daily calorie requirements though, not 28% like the real thing



E2a: further analysis shows that the calorie deficit is balanced out with higher levels of fats, sugar and salt

This doesn’t sound plausible.

 

[Shechemite]

This doesn’t sound plausible.

Which bit

 

[8ball]

Which bit

The second bit.

Not that I have anything against super noodles, but they are a different beast.

More noodly. Better.

Lacking in reassuring dirtiness.

Add some lard to boost the calorie count.

 

[Shechemite]

Well lard dee dah

I like noodles but there's not enough fibre in pot noodles. In some there's none at all. That cannot help with bowel movement.

Hot water good for digestion.

Drink the soup first before eating the noodles

Too much effort

 

[Enviro]

Ha, yeah it's way more involved than a pot noodle only for the culinarily minded...

I think it's a lot more tasty, though. Unless pot noodles have upped their game recently? I've not had one for a year or two.

Do you have to boil the fuckers or can you just put boiled water on them?

 

[Enviro]

You're supposed to boil 'em.

 

[Shechemite]

You're supposed to boil 'em.

Might as well cook

 

[Shechemite]

Or eat couscous.
