I haven’t consumed a Pot Noodle in a very long time, and the last time I did I could hardly finish it, it was that bad. For a man brought up on solidly traditional British cuisine this came as something of a shock.
Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I followed the instructions to the letter on a Pot Noddle (edit: Noddle, heh!) - Beef and Tomato flavour, to be exact. Anyway, I heats up the kettle and ‘prepared’ the dog’s breakfast of a mixture. When the makers of this foul garbage declared it ‘finished’ on the packet, I gave the end product a smell. Let me tell you, the stench of this stuff was bad enough. Tasting it was even worse. It’s just like heated up, mushy cardboard. There’s precisely zero taste to it at all - absolutely nothing like either beef or tomato. Absolutely disgusting. I was hungry at the time but this has to be one of the few major brand products that makes you feel worse after you’ve ingested it! I mean, you’d have thought that the producers of ultra-fast food would have gone some way already to improving the taste, but no.
Can any of my many loyal readers pick out any more examples of foods that are utterly appalling but appear to be quite popular? Answers on a postcard, please.
