Pot-Noodles
 

Does any one else here enjoy these lovely snacks? :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

ok - define 'enjoy' - what is your benchmark ;)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Not as in the adverts you pervert :D

As in tasty ;)

Sorry if I went to far :)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Chicken and mushroom I do - that's the only one. I sling the soya sauce though - spoils it.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

They are f-ing disgusting!!! Pardon my language.

Can a pot noodle be classed as food? I think not!

Rubber in hot water, with some sauce.

:D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I basically like them all:

Beef and tomatoe
Chicken and mushroom
Nice 'n spicy
Choe mein (how ever you spell it)
Sweet and sour

And more :)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I hear they're essential pop festival food :erm:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

is this student food your on about? :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Who? What? Where? Why? :rolleyes: :disturbd:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

That's usually either beans or spaghetti (with ketchup) :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I am not a great dog lover - but especially Not Poodles.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

No. :sick:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Now don't mince your words, Paul. Just come straight out with it :p: :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Anyone tried 'Bombay Bad Boy'? Almost burnt my tongue off but strangely I enjoyed it :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

How long have you had these masochistic tendencies? :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I don't.

I did.


;)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Pot Noodle :sick:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

:D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Anyone like raw noodles?

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

We know :p:

How long have you had this perversion? :D

Raw! Ewwwww. Gonna make yourself ill. Mind you, I had a mate who liked raw bacon rind and he was never poorly :erm:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

No it's so nice! I wouldn't like raw bacon there'd be no taste, I love mine cremated. I love raw oxo cubes aswell. Yum.

I suppose I should think about the health consequences. Seems like everything I enjoy is unhealthy :rolleyes:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

You and me both, I gave up worrying about it years ago.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Wish I could but I'll worry about anything.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Weird - my sister had a thing for oxo cubes when she was in her teens. Maybe it's the hormones :D According to the boffins, all foods are unhealthy - there's always a new study that contradicts previous studies and says x is bad for you :rolleyes: Bit of limp lettuce on rye - no ta.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Yep and then there'll be something that says that beer or chocolate or red wine or something else which was previously deemed 'unhealthy' can actually be good for you. Which one is it? :confused: It's hard to keep up.

I know that chocolate contains antioxidants and that red wine can help lower blood pressure if you limit yourself but still it's all confuzzling.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Oh I munch chocolate regardless :D How else am I supposed to cope? Red wine - I had a bad experience recently and it's put me right off. I'll stick to rum :) My problems are that I don't eat fish (most of it is just ewwwww - all those bones) or fruit (it's the texture). But you never do know for certain what is and isn't healthy - it's a state of flux.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Totally agree with you.
The stuff they put in them is mostly flavoured with whatever chemical combination they come up with.
I wouldnt touch a pot with a barge pole.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

RUBBER? More like deconstructed cardboard and rabbit droppings.Yuk!

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Where have you been all these years then.....oh crap I shouldn't have said that for the people who had them before :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Well, I like Pot Noodles..


There...

I said it...

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Me too......love pot noodles. In fact I love almost any noodle based dish. In a pot or not :drool:
The noodle place in Bexleyheath now does home deliveries :disturbd: :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I like the new ones, The Posh Noodles

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

i had one look at one of them and went :eeek: :sick: and had a :fit: :D :D :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I've always liked them :)

but I haven't had any for a long time

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

<ripple of applause from the other group members>
Now you've reached stage one of the recovery programme, maybe you'd like to share with the group how long you've had these "desires"? We're all here to support you.

:p:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

The thing is you can actually make something ten times nicer with much more flavour by spending just a couple of pounds on some real pasta and making yourself a really nice dish without E, G, H, J, D, K numbers, preservatives, and chemicals, and it will taste twice as nice.
Nothing beats real cooking.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

So right.

My Tarts Spaghetti is to die for. ;)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Ahh but its not as fast, boil kettle, pour on noodles wait 2 minutes, stir, burn mouth:D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

couldnt agree more :tu: , its just when i am at work , something quick and easy to do is handy :tu:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I tried the posh noodles once, didn't like them very much. Prefer the Pot Noodle :erm:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

When you live on your own, as many of us do, it's difficult to justify spending an hour preparing a meal just for yourself. Far quicker to shove a microwave meal in the micra or a pizza in the oven.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

You can buy fresh pasta in the supermarket.It takes 3 minutes to cook in boiling water and you add the fresh sauce of your choice available from the same shelf in the supermarket. :rolleyes:

Also fresh chopped garlic and tomato UNCOOKED is absolutely smashing with any kind of hot cooked pasta.For the almost lazy amongst you. ;)

Or take some cooked ham and a RAW egg and add to hot spaghetti with some grated parmesan.The egg cooks on the hot pasta.It's delicious and is the real recipe for carbonara. :D

None of the above takes more than 15/20 minutes.

I love pasta.It's the fastest food and is quicker than ordering in a take away.

Incog. :)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Well I do that but the sauce would be discounted as "processed" - I'd have to make fresh, which involved faffing around. Besides which, whenever I cook anything it either tastes nasty or of nothing :(


I use the powered stuff - saves on chopping. I don't like tomatoes :sick: Same with all fruits. Ewwwwwww.


<makes notes>


:tu: My fav pasta comes from Asda - best stuff I've had.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

yum :drool: - everyone round to Incog's for supper ;)

- rather than the 'pasta sauce' type products, which I find are too sweet, why not try a jar of fresh passata with some pesto to jazz it up.

<edit> just seen John doesn't like tomato - ho hum ;)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

This is why I watch Ray Mear's and weep in the sure and certain knowledge I'd starve to death if my plane crashed somewhere remote and all I had was a squirrel and a bit of manky weed to live on. It's the skin, seeds and hard core (from a tomato - not the squirrel). In tomato based products you usually end up with just skin - same with peppers. I don't like the bits of skin. Tomato on a pizza or in lasagne (only from M&S though) I will eat.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

:notopic:




:D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Of course, the worst offender for the bits of skin problem is the BEEF AND TOMATO POT NOODLE.

<greencreeper deftly demonstrating how to bring a thread back on topic>

:D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Tarts spaghetti? :confused:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Chopped fresh basil,chopped garlic,chopped red chilli(seeds removed)fried in olive oil.Then add tsp tomato paste, chopped anchovies(not too many),capers(about a tablespoon), a few chopped black olives and about a pound of tomatoes skinned and chopped(deseeded if you prefer but use more tomatoes) and add to the garlic,chilli and basil in the oil.Cook on low to medium heat until tomatoes are soft.DO NOT ADD SALT,the anchovies are salty enough.Add some more fresh TORN basil to sauce and stir.Add to hot cooked spaghetti,add parmesan cheese and eat with lots of red wine.

The italian name is Spaghetti alla Puttanesca meaning Tarts Spaghetti.Why I don't know.Perhaps it's the chilli. :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

:drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

:confused: Is that spaghetti in a tart, made by a tart or for tarts? :Sprint:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

:tu: :tu:

What time's it served Incog? Should I bring the wine?

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

and as bloodshed ensued ............... :D :D :D :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

just googled it fyi

In Italian, a puttana is a "lady of the night." It is said that it's quick preparation made it popular as a fast snack between clients. Today it is found throughout Italy, although it is particularly popular in Rome.

'cos they didn't have pot noodles:D :)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Nah!

Have you ever seen anyone wearing spaghetti?Don't they look hilarious?


Incog.Insert EVIL grin smiley.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Methinks Coggy may regret posting the recipe :p: :D I heard there was a market for the more mature female :Sprint:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

So it's made by tarts for tarts then? :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Nah! I'll make up my own recipe and call it Fat Old Biddy Spaghetti. ;)

Oh and will someone smack Ramrod for me.I'm too tired. :)


Slightly off topic.When did you join the gold clan Rammy?

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Oh there's definitely a market for them :D

<thumps ramrod in ribs with handbag>

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Was it something I said? oops:


edit--sorry, forgot to reply to this:Um.....about a month ago....possibly......can't remember.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

For those like myself who won't go near a pot, I thought I'd google it and found this disturbing image.

:Sprint:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Mmmmmmmm

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Then I'll need to invent a recipe called the Dotty,Forgetful Old Biddy Spaghetti because I didn't notice.Sorry!! ;)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

No reason why you should :)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

:sick: Thanks for that ;) What are those parasite worms that people use for slimming? That picture looked like a whole city... :) :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Tapeworms.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

bombay bad boys rule the roost.......they are yummy

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Thanks for that Stu - I'll try not to remember that as I tuck into my plate of tagliatelle later on.
And I HATE Pot Noodles btw!! :sick: but the kiddies love 'em - must be a student thing.............

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Hey, I was just answering a question....


As stated earlier, I love Pot Noodles..

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

shows the mentality of the people who eat pot noodles really... they even have to label the spoon

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

right o , i suppose you eat gourmet food all the time then , do you get your cornflakes in a silver bowl with a silver spoon as well ;)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

OK let's not go off topic please :erm:

Gonna have a Pot Noodle tomorow since my college finishes at 1pm ;)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

:erm: :erm: :erm: , ok mr pretend mod :p: :p: :p: :p:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Oh be quiet you, I don't pretend to be a mod, it's my thread remember ;) :p:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Well if you are going to thread the noodles, you will need a needle, not a spoon

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I used to like pot noodles with mash (smash) when I was at college/uni - but now I don't...

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

:confused:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

There is no need to embarrass yourself - if you fail to understand things, remain silent.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I always embarras my self, I always mis-understand something, It's in my nature to :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Well here is a word from the wise - if you respond to something, note the correct spelling and try and relay it back

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I was merely commenting on the fact that the spoon immersed in the pot noodle was clearly labelled "SPOON"

as for the gourmet food, dunno about gourmet, but I would personally prefer to spend another 10-15 minutes producing something tastier than a pot noodle...

if you want quick and easy food, pasta (penne / tagliatele) with mushroom sauce (campbells mushroom soup, only mix half a can of water with it instead of a full can) and some poached salmon, cook the pasta with garlic, and flake the salmon into the pasta / mushroom sauce, add a little salt and some black pepper and you have something that pot noodle can never hope to match.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Thankgoodness you saw sense !
Many people like you could have become Pot noodle addicts.
Thankfully, You have been saved.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Cant see the potmash pots for sale anymore... Shame as they are fab for camping. No washing up and keep you warm as a late night snack :tu:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Never heard of potmash before :erm:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I put smash into the standard (beef and tomato) pot noodle :)

Although - I would've bought a pot smash :)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Take heart. I was the same at your age ie tomato = yuk and I had never even tried a sweet pepper. Now? NO PROBLEM. Love 'em both and chillis - buy 4 packs a week from Tesco. Go great with pasta and all sorts. Tried 'em once (in strict moderation) with strawberrys on my Weetabix + museli mix for breakfast. Very interesting and not bad at all

ps - prefer Tesco fresh pasta to Asda. Dunno why exactly, just tastes a bit better.

pps - Pot noodles = curried elastic bands. I would rather starve

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Here you go people: Pot noodle ads.....enjoy! :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Oh Ramrod, your not that obsessed with them now are you? :D

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I love them but tend not to eat them 'cos they are full of cr*p. I occasionaly eat the Asda 'healthy options' (or words to that effect) ones.


Hello, name is Ramrod and I'm addicted to noodles......the nastier the better :drool: :disturbd:

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I love the new Posh noodle Sweet and sour variety. more spice than sweet and sour.

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

I think pot noodle are great - they were a staple diet for a lot of people in the gulf - they were far better than army food :D

Bombay bad boy was my fave.....

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

yeh pot noodles are great when all you have is a flask of hot water and a pot noodle ,and a healthy "gourmet" meal cooked in 15 mins is not an option.
some people don't know they are born and think all people have all the time in the world and all the ingredients to make something to eat.
pot mash and pot rice are also nice and they are both sold in asda if anyone needs to find them ;)
most pot noodles, pot rice and pot mash are meant for girls who only have a 10 minute dinner break.
bombay bad boys however are a different matter and not to be taken lightly........hmm must boil the kettle i can taste one already

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Pah!I bet I have less time than you but I'd still scorn to eat pot noodles.

It is possible to eat a healthy diet on restricted time provided you think ahead.I take a roll,a sandwich,a salad that I've prepared myself the night before to work where I only get a 20 minute lunch period,which by the time I've kept students behind to discuss behaviour/work,cleared up the classroom will leave me with 10/15 minutes to eat and take a toilet break:) If you want hot food take a vacuum flask with the food already hot inside.OR if your workplace has a microwave take some left overs.All the ingredients?How much to buy a bag of rolls?A few tomatoes, a lettuce,some cheese,eggs,small tin of tuna.I know students have little money(I was one myself)but I never ate pot noodles.

Incog. :)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Pot noodles are expensive for what they are too

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Right......I've got a Bombay Bad Boy hydrating atm. In the wings we have a posh noodle (spicy chinese chicken) a Seedy Sanchez and a chow mein (for later)
How much of the Bad Boy spice sachet should I add? I'm thinking all of it.....


edit--well the Bad Boy is quite spicy (loosened up my sinuses :D ) but not all that tasty...I was expecting more flavour rather than just heat......
Will keep ya'll posted as I eat the others :D



edit-edit--right, I'm on to the posh spicy chinese chicken......it's really nice. They have hit the spot with the flavour......mmmmm.....umami :)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Update! :D
Trying the Seedy Sanchez......not bad at all but the Posh Spicey Chinese chicken is still the best so far :)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Hungry? ;)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Curious :)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

Should get a camera and do a pot noodle version of "Supersize Me". ;)

Re: Pot-Noodles
 

No thanks :D
..I've just got the chow mein to go now.......I'll go put the kettle on...........once I've had this one I should be fine again for another few years :disturbd:


edit---the chow mein is nice but not flavoured enough imo.
