That's not even real food. It's like the whole country chose to stay on war rations after WW2.

Have to say, I agree completely. I have never rated pot noodle as a meal/snack. Would much rather have a buttered crisp butty!

Books? Never heard of them.

Pot Noodles are more comfort food than anything else.

I'm actually contemplating buying the, Pasta Bible.

Not for this reason but it's the same book that made the now infamous typo.

"Ground salt and black people"

Accidental or not, it's a book I want.

It looks like there are two with that title. Who's the author?

I'm sure it's the first one that you want since a mere woman wrote the other one.

I may have to flag down Lorna, I really want to know more about drying pasta and storing it.

I think trial and error will be the best bet. If not a book, it's a pizza stone, and if not a pizza stone a 2 liter jug of HP.

Have you seen how much sodium they have in them? Pot is two portions too....really put me off as I love them myself

I usually get tea bags from Amazon and double edged razor blades.

Movie boxset when on sale too...plus presents for people, sent direct.

Did you have to remind me? I know, it's shocking! One package might be two servings, but I eat the whole thing anyway. Then I spend the rest of the week trying to un-bloat from all that water retention! LOL
