To realise I've become a horrible snob.

[DangerousBeanz]

I've always been really down to earth. Working class roots, shop at Aldi, drive a Kia. I've never ever considered myself better than anyone else ever.

But today it happened. Went into Tesco to grab a loaf and saw my friend at the check out. She had 2 multi packs of pot noodle as part of her shopping.
I inwardly judged.
She's a lovely amazing person. But still this horrid inner snob judged.
I know iabu. I need a proper telling off. I'm a cow.

I wouldnt judge , but i hate them! My student son buys the cheap own brand ones - i think they are horrible. Much prefer oven chips!

Go on then, brag about the wholesome. worthy food you bought.

Pot Noodles are like McDonald's, it doesn't matter where you're from or how much money you have, that shit gets eaten by every one at some point.

Maybe she is a prepare?

I had a loaf of sliced best of both kingsmill and a litre of bluetop.
Nothing special. For toast and cereal for the kids breakfast.

*prepper

I have some seriously posh friends. Pot noodles are completely classless OP.

Festival or pregnant. Well, they're my only reasons

I remember taking my 80 year old grandma shopping, she is very straight-laced and even had elocution lessons... we spent ages looking for very specific cuts of meat, loads of fresh vegetables etc then she chucked in a 4 pack of Pot Noodles - the sweet and sour ones Apparently when her friends come round Bill goes and gets them a McDonald's drive-thru ("I do have Tropicana with mine though") I love that woman.

I haven't has a pot noodle for years but this thread has made me need to them to the shopping list.

Bollocks - I am from working class stock, shop at aldi and drive an old Kia and love a chicken pot noodle.

However, I thought my 3x degrees meant I'd ascended to the higher echelons of the middle classes. 😭😭😭

Apparently not.

Oh and I always judge at the checkout. I could to a PhD thesis on it

If there on offer I buy a little bulk to fill the cupboard good for when you can't be arsed cooking

You sound like a lovely friend

I hate them but my dc love them. We all love Super Noodles. Not sure what the problem is. I have a friend who loves PN's and also loves travelling the country to go to Michelin starred restaurants.

I am totally a prepper and hadn't even considered pot noodles as an option!!!

I'd eat them in a week tho, regardless as to whether society had fallen or not.

Wondering if we can have a Pot Noodle emoticon to go alongside the biscuit for pretentious posters...

My DS loves a pot noodle. He dips his microwave fries in them. I don't have a degree though.

Same as Jarhead - I'd never eat a pot noodle, but DP wanted one for lunch this weekend instead of the salad I was having. I judge DP as it's bad for his health (he had chocolate after and snubbed my blueberries), but his family certainly have a lot more money (and class?) than mine.

I haven't had a Pot Noodle for nearly 40 years. I think I am going to buy one when I next go to Tesco. Wont be curry or sweet and sour though. They didn't have those back in the day!

This has made me REALLY want a pot noodle...

I am that's why I'm disappointed in myself. I know better. She's lovely, I think the world of her. I'm a nice person honestly.

But feckin pot noodles are so so shite. The plastic pot tastes better than the cardboard contents.

If they are on offer, I get them in as DH takes one if he goes fishing as they are easy to make with his flask. I can sometime be seen buying about a dozen pots

OMG a Pot Noodle emoticon to post on the up their own arse food threads would make my MN experience soooo much better.
