The Pot Noodle Appreciation Poll

[When In Rome]

For some people, Pot Noodles are the king of lunchtime snacks; others might feel it’s a food pariah that should be sent on the fast track to hell’s kitchen. But the real question is, which flavour is the king? You can vote for your favourite in this poll.

I haven't tried them all and it would be impossible to list them all but recently I tried the Mac and Cheese which I really liked - it tasted of blue cheese, that was why!

I can add that the Bombay Bad Boy is bad - really hot and might come with a health warning!

The Pot Noodle I least like is the Brazilian BBQ Steak - not sure what was going on there, it tasted more like barbecued snake.

Chicken and mushroom. All. The. Way.

Bombay Bad Boy for me, no question. Second would be chicken and mushoom, but they can get a little bland and it's a pain trying to avoid the dreaded mushroom.

I don't know if they still make them, but the doner kebab flavour was the absolute worst. It tasted nothing like a kebab, in fact it was more along the lines of how I imagine dirty tank water would taste.

 

[When In Rome]

Yes, I think this is all very hit and miss. Many people might say it would be cheaper to boil up some water and pour it over elastic bands with a touch of paprika for flavouring! I am lucky to avoid the above mentioned kebab version I guess. I really don't like the Sausage Casserole much either. By making this post I'm not saying that I'm a fan of Pot Noodle, just wanted to see if they were appreciated by others.

Our Story

"The public perception of the product was often that it was of a low quality, and only eaten as a result of laziness or poverty.Around 2006, Pot Noodle's recipe was changed to make the product healthier. This mostly involved cutting down on the amount of salt in the product."

They're a British thing.

Yeah.
I figured that out.

A damn fine British thing

My son, who has ASD also, would eat Chicken and Mushroom for lunch dinner and tea if you let him. Obviously I have to restrict to one a week. They are very salty and crunchy when just made and deliver that gluten hit...

Oh dear, that's not good. He ought to have Mac 'n' Cheese for tea.

I'm jealous! We have instant noodles, but not in that range of flavours. In the same way that our crisps (potato chips) don't come in near the number of flavours available in the UK; although we're catching up: poutine flavoured crisps, anyone?

Where are you? Our supermarkets sell the instant noodles, same principal, boil water, add a sachet of flavoured powder, only difference is you have to provide the bowl!

The best range of flavours in the UK in terms of this type of noodles would be good old Super Noodles. At the moment you can get: Chicken, BBQ, Mild Curry, Bacon, Chinese Chow Mein, Chicken and Herb, Chilli Chicken, Thai Sweet Chilli, Southern Fried Chicken and Chicken and Mushroom.

I thought poutine had stormed the world! I mean, would could be more appetising than fries drowned in gravy and cheese curds!? Mmmmm...

My apologies. I don't speak Canadian.

Poutine looks revolting by the way.

I speak Canadian personally.
I'm from Quebec, where it was invented originally. I find some typical british foods revolting as well. Like these:

What is this green mess? I'd pick poutine over this one any day.

This one with fish heads sticking out?

The bangers and mash are pretty ugly too.

 

[When In Rome]

Oh you are quite right Mia, we have some really gross food. The only true British cuisine I stick to is curry.

I'm also from the UK, and I think Poutine looks amazing. We in Wales have what is essentially the same thing:

Cheesy chips and gravy

In Cardiff (where I live) more specifically we have the divine chicken curry off the bone and chips

There's only one place to go in Cardiff for the best chicken curry and chips, and that's Caroline Street. It's known across Cardiff as chippy lane. Pretty sure you can get cheesy chips and gravy there too.
