Instant Noodles

[torc]

In Ireland KOKA noodles are very popular, much less salty and way cheaper than other brands. I don't know if they are widely available in the UK though.
A lot of the noodles that are for sale in Asian food markets are not bad either, you can guess the flavour from the cover photo. The Korean ones are good just as long as there is no picture of a labrador on front.

Definitely any one you buy in a Chinese supermarket. Taste better and easy to use. Buy them in bulk packs too.

Rik, we only get around to issuing real bans after someone has really unequivocally shown they are only here to cause trouble, or profit at the other member's expense. You gotta do something big to catch a Mod's attention!



Hmmm! not quite the level playing field methinks:tapedshut......I smell waste product of male four legged grass eating mammal

There's not really a superior instant noodle, it's a matter of taste. There are however, better ordinary noodles. There are also reports of doctored instant noodles made from adulterated flour and fried in lard from diseased pigs, so in the long run you are probably better off sticking to your UK's traditional "golden wonder spicy curry pot chemical"

I can't believe how lightly everyone is taking the whole noodle question! There is only one sort worth having: Blue Dragon (Won Ton flavour). All others are a pale imitation.

Well, I am almost lost for words how things are going on this simple debate.

IMHO noodles are noodles, if you like a brand then buy it and enjoy it, if you dont agree with a persons choice then basicly, tough...

Morrisons or king Li are my choice for cost.

Tescos value plain noodles. 10p

Make your own flavourings the world is your hamster

Who's gonna start the favourite crisp thread then?

Marmite Flavour for me

I can't find them anymore and am reduced to eating Marmite rice cakes.......kind of an acquired taste, and texture tbh

cheers,

Blue Dragon all the way!
I was gutted when they stopped selling their little packs of straight wheat noodles. Those were excellent pack food, low volume, easy to pack and came with chilli oil and powdered stock mix.

As for crisps...I am still looking for the new Walkers Cajun Squirrel flavour

Over-rated, Chris I'm afraid. After sampling them all, onion bhaji is the outright winner by a long way, and whoever suggested chocolate and chilli wants stringing up!

I like the thai style "pot noodles" branded Tiger Tiger or something. I've yet to try flavouring plain noodles with cup-a-soups - I'll have to give it a go.

Over-rated, Chris I'm afraid. ....

But but but...they served them to us on a Woodlore course!!! You can't be serious that they are not the finest noodles ever pre-packed?!?

 

[scanker]

Sorry, I was referring to the Walkers crisps. If Ray serves Blue Dragon, I must have Blue Dragon!

Whatever happened to Hedgehog flavoured crisps?, used to love them

Someone told me they were still about, although that was last year sometime. I tried Walkers new Squirrel crisps the other day and they tasted like BBQ Chicken flavour crisps. Not tried real squirrel so no idea if thats what they taste like...

 

[sapper1]

Hedgehog flavour crisps must contain hedgehog,whereas hedgehog flavoured crisps only need to taste of hedgehog.
Can't see many people eating mrs tiggywinkle perhaps thats why they disappeared.

 

[gzornenplat]

Wasn't the original Hedgehog Flavoured Crisps a company called 'Hedgehog' that produced 'flavoured crisps'? E.g. cheese and onion.

 

[John Fenna]

Thats what I understood as well....
