Pot Noodle, the only food in the universe were the container tastes better than the contents...

How much are they?? 1.01GBP?? Hmm </glib>

I don't know if my local 'bab outlet will 'cook [me] one in the time it takes to boil a kettle'. Most 'babs are uncooked to ensure timely bodily ejection, complete with a satisfying projectile factor.

Can we have a Playmobil mock up..?

Paris, 'cos she's got a badly-packed kebab... I think.

Here's how to make one properly. You will need: 1 Doner Kebab Pot Noodle, 1 pitta bread, 1 bottle Dave's Gourmet Insanity Sauce, kettle, lager to taste.

Fill kettle (with water, not lager) and set to boil. Empty sachet of MSG dust into Pot Noodle. Add boiling water to Noodle but NOT TO THE LINE - only add enough to cover the noodles. Put pitta in toaster and leave Noodle to steep while the pitta is toasting. Open pitta, and add Dave's Gourmet Insanity Sauce.

Stir Pot Noodle so the mixture is well-moistened. The lack of water should have created a gungy mass that can be tipped wholesale into the pitta. Eat manually, washed down with copious quantities of lager.

- Lynx (body sprays)

- Cif (cleaning fluid)

- Domestos (bleach)

- Persil (washing powder)

- Vaseline (petroleum jelly)

All of which significantly more nutritious, and flavoursome, than any Pot Noodle.

I get my doner kabobs home, and freeze 4/5ths of the meat, buy my own pitta breads and ready to use salad and chop an onion and can make my own whenever I fancy one.

Subsequently, it only takes 30 secs to microwave the tower strips and puff the pitta in the toaster.

During one thrifty time i had to eat nothing but pot noodles for three days.

I didn't shit for the next fortnight.

Terrible, terrible things they are.

I used to have to drive past the Pot Noodle everyday, and the smell made my stomach turn!!! It used to stay with you all the way from Croespenmaen Industrial Estate all the way in to Crumlin. If I had the window open I swear I could taste it all th way to Pontypool.

Reminds me of T in the Park a few years ago. The sadists at Pot Noodle were handing out Bombay Bad Boys at the entrance to the camp site.

Several thousand people. 3 and a half toilets. Spicy Pot Noodle all round.

Really? I thought that pot meat was just soya chunks...

Official Pot Noodles are pretty rubbish these days. I think they tried to reduce the fat or salt content or something. If you want that good old stodgey MSG-laden taste you remember from your student days, try the Asda own-brand ones (not Smart Price). Mmmmmmm, now that's how programming fuel SHOULD taste.

Got the munchies now...

This is truly the ultimate man food snack:

This proves it... Pot Noodle belongs in the non-food section.

But where's the IT angle?

That is all.

I always expected them to be like pot brownies

Last time I had a Pot Noodle was after the Stone Roses gig at the Spike Island chemical dump.

We'd had an all nighter before, arrived at the site sans money, so had nothing to eat or drink until close to mid-night and the only thing approaching food at the Shell garage on Runcorn ring road was a "chicken" & mushroom Pot Noodle. I ate half and chucked the rest away and not touched one since.

Thanks for bringing back those bad memories...

Call me twisted and sick, but I *REALLY* want one of these now.

Sadly (or mercifully, depending on your point of view) they don't sell Pot Noodle here in Leftpondia. I miss Pot Noodle. "Cup Noodle" and "Maruchan Instant Lunch" just aren't the same.

Maybe I can buy some online, though seeking the psychiatric help I obviously need may just be a cheaper option!

...to find a dead rat inside. :/

I agree!

...and I can't understand a word of that article.

Paris, because she can't either.

Kebab or kebab flavoured Pot Noodle, yeah. You'd have to be pissed for either to seem appealing so it's an ideal new product.

Now waiting on Rat and Ketchup flavour. With extra ketchup.

Paris, nice kebab love...

Lister: I tell you one thing: I've been to a parallel universe, I've seen time running backwards, I've played pool with planets, and I've given birth to twins, but I never thought in my entire life I'd taste an edible Pot Noodle

Not the same as when Golden Wonder made them, back then they had some taste and salt. Sick of this health bandwagon making everything taste bland, put the salt and fat back in! Those were the days of the "ace of spades" adverts, and zig and zag had a promotion where every pot was a winner (though mostly items like cocktail umbrellas).

A few years ago during my student days, I relished the "Posh noodles", these were absolutely delicious. Proper tasting noodles, delicious sauce, yum! Would love one for lunch today but can't seem to find them anywhere, obviously not approved by the nulabour food police.

As the above poster says, if you really need a doner fix, stock up on the microwave variety before a night on the tiles. Iceland (yes I know the "screaming kid" clientele and that annoying witch in the adverts but they're reasonable value for some of their stuff) sells them 2 in a box for £1. Not recommended when sober, but post-pub seem to taste great. Just remember to turn them over halfway through to avoid a soggy/dry nan paradox. Morrisons used to sell a delicious 'fresh' (ie. in the fridge section not the freezer) microwave kebab, but then they sold their shops to Asda I can't find this anywhere else.

I don't think you'll be entirely satisfied with McDonalds' hash browns, either.

LISTER: We're going to die, aren't we? How much food is there?

RIMMER: There's half a bag of soggy Smoky Bacon Crisps, a tin of mustard

powder, a brown lemon, three water biscuits, two bottles of vinegar and

a tube of Bonjella gum ointment.

LISTER: Gum ointment?

RIMMER: Yes, it was in the first-aid box. It's that minty flavour. It's

quite nice.

LISTER: It's quite nice if you smear it on your mouth ulcer, but you

can't sit down and eat it.

RIMMER: You may have to.

LISTER: That's it? There's nothing else?

RIMMER: Just a Pot Noodle. Oh, and I found a tin of dog food in the tool

cupboard.

LISTER: (Sighs.) Well. Pretty obvious what gets eaten last. I can't

stand pot Noodles.

Big thing here in Malaysia, noodles, msg, meat-type product, all you could want.

Balut flavour Pot Noodle?
