The Food Doctor Thai Style Noodle Wholesome Pot




The Food Doctor is a new company to me, though they have been around since 1999. They had a relaunch this year (2017), and have placed a range of products in a variety of outlets. I can't recall where I got this pot, nor how much it cost, but I suspect I bought it at Tesco for rather more than I normally pay. Looking on the internet, it seems that it's no longer available in Tesco, but can still be bought at Waitrose for £1.10. It is a tasty nood, with lime and coriander flavours in a creamy sweet coconut milk sauce. The noodles are a little small for my licking, but it is a very decent product. I'm not convinced by the product image or name (rather dull and off-putting). While food is about health and nutrition, it's also about tasting good, and having fun. And I'm not clear on why this pot of noodles is any healthier than any other pot of instant noodles. I don't think the price is outrageous for a tasty snack - it isn't much more than a Pot Noodle for example, but I get more fun out of a Pot Noodle than this, and when put next to serious nood makers such as Nissin, this pot feels a little lacklustre. However, decent job all in all.

Blue Dragon Noodle Wok Spicy Thai






Quite aggressive chilli. Few other flavours come through. Dried veg. Little in the way of noodles. Crap.

Batchelors Deli Box Noodles Sweet & Sour





Sweet it is, but sweet like cheap tomato ketchup. And that's what it tastes like - thin cheap tomato ketchup. Stodgy. Not good.
