Re: Pot-Noodles
 

You're just after my pot noodle :p:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Hell yea! :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I'm not saying anything :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Funny! I have read this entire thread and at no point have I even been tempted to go out and buy let alone consider eating any pot noodles. :erm:

However tonight I have prepared and consumed Genoese Pesto spaghetti. :D

Yes I made my own pesto sauce.Fresh! With Basil and toasted pinenuts and garlic and olive oil and Parmesan.Marvelous what you can do with a food processor.

Yum!! :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

well....I made a vegy rissotto with leek, garlic, skinned baby tomatoes, courgette, mushroom, vegy stock,and rissotto rice and a chopped up spring onion to garnish

It was tasting absaluutly scrummy...........until I added the yoghurt...mmm I don't think I will do that again :td:
and it didn't taste anything like a pot noodle or a pot rice:D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Yes I think the yoghurt was a mistake.I suggest some white wine next time. ;)

Were you using proper risotto rice?

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I went to Burger King :D I was going to go to the chippy but I thought I'd splurge a bit. I'm eating a lot of pasta and onion at the moment - simple, yummy and cheap.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Well I do have a slight headache now.....and I never get headaches :D :tu: Fried onion?

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Small knob of butter and a splash of sunflower oil to stop the butter burning. Peel, top and tail a large red onion, then chop - I lay it down because I tend to cut myself with onions. Gently saute the onion until the red becomes a lovely translucent pink. Fling over the pasta - cooked in a huge pan of salted water (needs room to move). Sometimes I do a Tesco Finest pork and apple sausage or two, but they're expensive :)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

:tu: mmmmm nice :)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Oh I forgot there was some white wine in it .....sort of ..... :erm: dry martini :D there wasn't any white wine open

yes it was proper carnaroli riotto rice:)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Then add butter but not yoghurt next time.Wasn't strawberry was it? :)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Hmmm there's an idea :D no, it was natural , a bit too tart tho.It will be parmi shano regy arno next time( not out of a cardboard drum) :sick: The real block of cheese wiv da writing on a da side:D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Sheesh I sure made a hungry thread here :erm:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Strange...it made me :sick: when I thought of it... ;)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

what a pig - oops, grana padano :clash of cymbals: :erm: :p: :monkey: :angel:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

:erm: :confused: nope.....lost me there:disturbd:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

sorry - description allowed for cheese of the type 'parmesan' has left me confused, is it 'Parmigiano Reggiano' or can it be 'Grana Padano' - the latter always seems to end with the "ooh - grana padano -ooh" kind of hip thrust - sorry again ;) :p:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

This will depend on whether you want a local cheese thats hard, flavoursome but needs grating,

or

a cheesy local that is great at being flavoursome, wants to be hard, but becomes grating.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Just trying the new "super noodles to go" and although they are rather high is fat (15.3g per serving :shock: ) they are very tasty. :)

Edit - me and a guest were reading this thread before I posted, surely guests don't come here to read about cardboard based snacks :disturbd: :confused: :erm:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I discovered my cuppa soup contains (I think) the daily amount of salt a man is safely allowed to consume :shocked: They are salty though - soup, not men. Though men can be, but let's not go there :dig: :D

Most probably a bot or spider of some sorts, indexing the site, or Spillers keeping an eye on brand integrity :)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Oh er :erm:

I must admit I really can't understand the necessity to put salt in everything, we've been using the same pot of salt (1kg) for the past 5 yeas and there's still loads left! Gaz ???


Maybe we should make some rather smart defamatory comments the bot won't understand, like: Pot noodles are crap :p: ;)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I've just checked - 1g of sodium per soup. The daily allowance is 3.5g, so a soup contains about 1/3 of the allowance, which is a heck of a lot. I thought the allowance was lower than 3.5g though :erm:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Don't you have to multiply the sodium content by 2.5?

And I thought the daily allowance for males was 7g?

Wheres Homealone when he's needed?

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Oh dear oh dear.....who resurected this thread?
Pot nooodles are DISTGUSTING !!!

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Pot Noodles Rock!

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Agreed! :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Yep! :tu:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Hiya :wavey:

- still can't get on at home :(

- you are correct, the Guideline Daily Amount for salt is 7g for males & 5g for females and to convert sodium to salt multiply by 2.54 (58.5/23).

:)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

food of the devil, they are...if there is one thing on this planet that deserves nuking it is the pod noodle factory :) :sick:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Outrageous, the king pot, bombay bad boy is top banana

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Yup - it's the sodium that does the damage though, and many manufacturers try and hide the actual salt content by just giving the sodium content, which will always be less.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

actually nutrition labelling is a bit of a grey area, manufacturers don't have to give nutitional info, unless a claim is being made (low fat etc).

If a nutritional table is provided, then it must either be in simple format (just energy, Protein, Carbohydrate & Fat) or in 'Big 8' format (Energy, Protein, Carbohydrate, Carbohydrate of which Sugars, Fat, Fat of which Saturates, Fibre & Sodium).

i.e. it is sodium that must be declared, by law. Any salt figures given are voluntary. However due to increased awareness of salt intake, many retailers are starting to insist information on salt & proportion of the GDA, per serving, is included on the pack.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Just had a nice Pot Noodle for lunch :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Pot noodles? Have they improved over the days when they smelt like burnt rubber?

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Yes. Atomic weight of sodium = 23 and of chlorine = 35.5, so to convert weight of sodium to weight of sodium chloride, multiply by (23+35.5)/23 = 2.54, or 2.5 near enough.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

they taste like it as well now ;)
