Re: Pot Noodles

I did wonder if instant noodles started in the far east.

Can you still get Cup Noodles, that had some crazy ads?

Re: Pot Noodles

There is a Chinese market where I live ( Castalla in Spain ) and they have their own versions of Pot Noodle..... Duck in plum sauce..... Chinese Roast Pork...... Beef in sweet soy sauce etc all are absolutely wonderful. Don't know if they sell them in UK but well worth trying if you see them !!

Re: Pot Noodles

I've been reading right through this thread and I see it wandered off to apple sauce at one point.

My parents always used the little tins of Heinz apple sauce with pork. Not sure if you can get it any more. The only reference I can find is the image below. It was very sweet and smooth and I do wonder if it was identical to the baby apple sauce. Nowadays they use big jars of lumpy Bramley apple.

Re: Pot Noodles

Pot noodles were something I wasn't allowed as a child but they must have been heavily advertised for me to want them so badly. I do remember looking at the pots in the supermarket like they were something amazing. I was disappointed when I finally got to try one years later.

Re: Pot Noodles

Somehow my Mum was talked into buying PN's when I was a college & often had lunch at home.

Very nice with Seabrook Salt & Vinagar crisps dunked it!

My Mum didn't like them as she reckoned they looked like warmed up sick!

Re: Pot Noodles

I bought a Pot Noodle last year for the first time in at least 30 years. What was I thinking? Tasted as disgusting as ever.

You can get them in Canada but they cost the equivalent of about four quid each

Re: Pot Noodles

Are my fella and myself the only people who remember KP Quick Lunch from the early 80s? Very similar to Pot Noodle, but in my opinion had much tastier noodles and flavours.

They were a real treat when I was a kid and I didn't get them often. Must be at least 30 years since I last ate one, but still I get cravings for the Spaghetti Bolognaise flavour!

No No! I remember these very well from the early 80's! They were never as nice as Pot Noodle IMO but they were ok. I think they may have been a bit too 'grown up' for me at the time!

Re: Pot Noodles

Used to have pot noodle mixed with a packet of smash when I got the post clubbing munchies. Tasted much better than it looked.

Re: Pot Noodles

instructions but why do you need them.
have not had one in donkeys yrs.

i used to eat to many of them.

sometimes i put in brown or red sauce and sometimes both.
i just put the water in till it reached the top.

They've changed the instructions too - used to say 'pull back the foil lid, pour hot water to the marked level and re-cover lid and wait 2-3 mins for it to all absorb the water' now they stupidly say 'tear the lid off! Pour hot water in! (no mention of level)' I still make it 'the old way'....
