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.

'What is this obsession with food being linked to class. It's an epidemic on here. '

Or the fucking orthorexia. 'OMG! How can you feed your kids that?! All those/that . . . ' 'It's why everyone is obese!' 'Can you believe I'm a 7-foot-tall professional basketball player and I weigh 10 stone? How am I not the size of my newborn daughter's wrist?' 'I never touch anything but the dust of unicorn corpses.' 'You eat what? I could feed a nation for that for an entire month.'

Pot noodle original curry is a work of art. Delicious. Ds1 loves them.
And yes, you are a total snob.

Ah polar. Bill sounds like a keeper.

OP what's so bad about them? They're only noodles and flavouring. Hardly shite

There on offer £2 for four, probz stocking up

I want a chicken and mushroom pot noodle now.

Sweet and Sour Pot Noodles were pretty much my introduction to international cuisine.

I thought the advertising campaign for Pot Noodle (the slag of snacks) was fantastic. "Ever since Ah were little, I wanted an easay life. Soh...I married a footbahller!" I eat the Indo Mie things (38p from my corner shop, same principal as PN, but without the pot), love 'em.

I work nights and Pot Noodles (and their own brand budget equivalents) are the go-to food for me and my fellow night shift workers. Portable, cheap, an easy to make hot meal.

I just don't get the food snobbery on here today. There's a gloating thread somewhere, about twattish toddlers pointing and laughing at those staying in 3* hotels, and who will only eat sourdough bread and falafel or some such nonsense.

Is this sponsored by the Daily Mail or something?

I'm in my PJs. I'm going to ask one of my boys to go and get me one from the shop. Darn this thread!

For you OP:

They're lying emmageddon

I lived in hospital with DD1 for months. Had only a kettle and a microwave. Own brand pot noodle+tin of meat+a few veg = dinner. I learned to boil eggs in a kettle. I owned every Sistema microwave dish thingy going.

Frowning on Pot Noodles isn't snobby, it's wanky and rather silly. It's a food stuff, not a wrap of heroin.

lol at twattish toddlers.

I'm not sure snob is the right word, really. It kind of implies that it's a socially inferior thing to buy or eat a pot noodle...

I've still got a cupboard of Bombay bad boys left from dh's 40th.

I bought him 40 of them as a joke side present, ended up trying one and loving it.

I must have eaten a third of them

That's it though, him not a food snob. I enjoy the odd take away, eat cake and chocolate. I'm not even slim. I had microwave rice with lunch today ffs.

But pot noodle..... I judged.

I'm ashamed.

I loved pot noodles as a teenager. Goodness knows why my mum bought them but I used to take them for school lunch. Wouldn't touch them now but still wonder......

You need to save your judging for other things. I wouldn't judge anything someone else chose to buy, we all like grubby treats from time to time. I do however judge the way people treat others and attitude.......in fact I'd probably judge someone who was judging someone for buying a pot noodle as a bit of a knob 😂😂😂

I judge microwave rice! It's shit. Just cook some properly.

They're crap musical, they've taken all the salt and additives out :(

Not sponsored by the daily fail.

I would have really fucking judged if she'd had that in her shopping and not felt any guilt.

They've got less salt in these days.

so i add salt
