To think that no one can possibly actually like udon noodles?

[Mrscog]

Finally, after being sceptical for a number of years I tried udon noodles this week. My worst fears were confirmed; they are fucking gross.

AIBU to think that no one could possibly really like them more than a nice medium egg noodle? So thick and wheaty, covering the inside of your mouth and feeling like thick worms before you chew them? Eugh. Back to fine/medium for me!

Maybe I should overcome the fear and try them.

Love noodles. Fat ones, thin ones, ribbon ones, udon, glass, rice, egg, soba. Mmmmmmmmmm.

I like udon noodles and parsnips.

Are glass noodles the ones that used to called Angel Hair noodles? If so, I like them in a soup, with vegetables and say chicken or fish, good for using up left overs.

I despise udon. They are so disgustingly claggy. YANBU

I love pretty much all noodles!

I love udon. Specially fried. Used to have them at least once a week when I lived in Japan.

And parsnips too. Cooked in butter.

udon noodles, when cook properly, are delish
As are roast parsnips, and bovril on toast (like others eat Marmite). I can't say I'm delighted by bovril as a drink.

You could not be any more unreasonable.

I am obsessed with udon noodles with tofu, spring onions, broccoli and thai 7 spice and a bit of soy.

I may have had it 3 times already this week.

Wagamama's Chicken and ginger udon noodles (with extra nuts) is one of my favourite foods ever. Delicious.

Like worms in your mouth.

Why would anyone go near these things?

Wagamamas udon noodles.

Delicious

Never had them but feel the same about Miso soup. Ugh.

Worms

Not very appetising.

Anyone else remember a song from childhood which began

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I go down the garden and eat worms

and can anybody finish it off?

They're my favourite type of noodle!
And I love parsnips in every guise.
As well as bovril on toast or with a bit of black pepper as a hot drink.

versions of the "Worm song"

I love them, especially when my SIL makes them from scratch (she gets the kids to walk on the dough).

But then, I love mochi- the most glutinous substance known to man

I love love love udon noodles. I can't eat the other sort

My favourite. I love udon.

My Japanese uni friend has cooked me many noodle dishes, including udon noodle soup which was simply the most amazing dish - it was a flavoursome broth with udon noodles, mushrooms and chicken - and I fell in love with the intense flavours immediately.

I used to like Wagamama's udon noodles, but they aren't a patch on the genuine article.

Love udon. Hate parsnips.

Now I want to go to Wagamama but the nearest one is 110 miles away googles buses

Thank you SteamTrains!

Love them; Wag's Yaki Udon =

I WOULD LIVE OFF UDON NOODLES IF I COULD!

I like parsnips. I haven't tasted bovril in many years. Marmite isn't on my shopping list, don't know that I've ever tried it. Can't take to the size and texture of udon or glass noodles. Have just demolished Singapore hot&spicy noodles, with fine Chinese noodles & it was yummmmmmm :)
