Lost The Pot Noodle Roast Chicken

 



Pot Noodle in a packet - it has "lost the pot". This is Pot Noodle catching up some ground lost to Super Noodles, though stepping backwards in terms of saving the planet as the pots are recyclable, while the packs are not. Anyway, these are better value, but are more fiddly to prepare. 

The noodles are bland. The powder is not fully adequate for the amount of noodles so it all ends up tasting watery and like, well, Super Noodles. If you like Super Noodles you'll like these, but why buy these when you can stick with Super Noodles. If you like Pot Noodles you probably won't like this. It doesn't taste like proper Pot Noodles, the king of the slags. 

The taste is mildly buttery and mildly roast chicken. But the flavours are so mild the main taste is the soggy floury noodles. On the whole this is not great.

The Pot Noodle company came up with a revolutionary idea - add flavour to the Lost The Pot packs.  It's a cool advertising campaign: 

INTRODUCING
NEW LOST THE POT
NOW WITH FLAVOUR


IT’S BOLD.
IT’S REVOLUTIONARY.
IT’S NO LONGER CRAP



Let's see... Lots of firm noodles with a mild false chicken flavour. I added tomatoes and spring onions to make it nicer.  Despite the advertising claim, there's still not a lot of flavour or character.


This is not like Pot Noodles. Though it may be interesting to do a side by side.
