Batchelors Deli Box Noodles Chicken Flavour

Stodgy stuff. It's edible, but it's crap. Just like all other Batchelors products. Super Noodles are crap, Cup a Noodle are crap, and these Deli Box noodles are crap. Made in the UK. Contains dead chicken. Epic fail.

No longer contains chicken, but remains stodgy and bland.

Batchelors

Batchelors were formed in 1895 by a tea salesman, William Batchelor. Initially they sold tinned peas, but then moved into dried soups. They make Cup a Soup. They are owned by Premier Foods, who have bought up several other famous British brands, such as Oxo, Hovis, Sharwoods and Cadbury.

Batchelors Cup a Noodle Mild Curry

Tastes like rehydrated pasta and veg soup. Rather British Butlins holiday camp tasting. There's not much of it - only 46g. Most of your money (81p) goes on the plastic pot. Not a good experience. Made in the UK. No meat.

Tesco noodles

Tesco is the major British supermarket chain. It is now multinational, and is the second largest retailer in the world. It was founded as an unnamed market stall in Hackney in 1919 by Jack Cohen - the Tesco name came in 1924, when Cohen sold teas from a supplier with the initials TES, and he added the Co from his own name. The first Tesco store was opened in 1929 in Edgware.
