Pot Noodle - who’s being unreasonable?

So there’s a hot debate going on in my house over the correct way to eat a pot noodle. I believe that you just eat until the “noodles” are gone, discarding the juice at the bottom.

Dh however believes in then drinking it - sort of like a soup.

Aibu to think he’s a savage Wink

You're both unreasonable - pot noodles are disgusting.

Confuzzled123 · 31/03/2020 14:03

YABVU. The ‘soup’ at the bottom is the best bit!

I think I might be in the minority though.... Grin

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 31/03/2020 14:03

You use bread with a slice of butter on it to mop up the sauce.

Throw it away indeed, you lady should be ashamed!

TruckStopTrash · 31/03/2020 14:03

I eat it with a spoon so I get both if that helps!

MrsEvil · 31/03/2020 14:03

Yabu pot noodles are the devil's food.

Albern · 31/03/2020 14:04

Sorry but your DH is right, I'm sure hes unreasonable in lots of other areas but this time hes right Wink .

Bluntness100 · 31/03/2020 14:05

Pot noodles are disgusting synthetic tasting food, unless you can’t get any deliveries you’re both unreasonable to be sitting home and doing foul things like eating pot noodles. 😂

The best way to eat a pot noodle is to make a sandwich from the last bit of noodle and dip it in the "soup". if you still have liquid left after you've finished the sandwich, drink it :D Oh and it absolutely has to be the Chicken & Mushroom flavour :)

ByAppointmentTo · 31/03/2020 14:05

Sorry to say but your DH is absolutely right this time!

PrincessHoneysuckle · 31/03/2020 14:06

Yanbu if you only eat chicken and mushroom flavour

Sn0tnose · 31/03/2020 14:06

I think you’re both savages.

PlanDeRaccordement · 31/03/2020 14:06

YABU
Pot noodles are an instant noodle soup. Of course you are supposed to eat/drink the broth too.

ItsGoingTibiaK · 31/03/2020 14:07

Absolutely with your DH. You should always swig the juice from the pot, usually getting some of it on your nose as you do so.

UnfinishedSymphon · 31/03/2020 14:09

Yep, spoon and a slice or 2 of Warby's toastie thick with butter for mopping.....or pot noodle butties

Treaclepie19 · 31/03/2020 14:09

Same in our house. I just eat the noodles, DH has noodles and then drinks the sauce like a soup.

BunnytheBee · 31/03/2020 14:09

I don’t eat Pot Noodle v often.

If I do it’s a Bombay Bad Boy and I never drink the juice.

Add peas or sweetcorn - cook until all liquid has evaporated...only use mild curry flavour

Blueroses99 · 31/03/2020 14:12

I eat it with a spoon so I get both if that helps

This ^^

PawPawNoodle · 31/03/2020 14:13

I thought you were calling for me..!

I make mine so that theres just enough water to cook the noodles, so there isn't a great deal of liquid at the bottom.

Pot noodle pro tip - add water to the line only, put the foil back on while you wait. Add the sauce about 2/3rds of the way in.

00Sassy · 31/03/2020 14:13

If there’s ‘juice’ in the bottom you’ve added too much water!

Goingfarawsy · 31/03/2020 14:13

You’re both unreasonable for not making a pot noodle sandwich. Lots of butter. Curtains closed.

Roweeeeena · 31/03/2020 14:14

I sort of sip the soup/soak up with bread and then eat the noodles! Only chicken and mushroom flavour though.

Imstillskanking · 31/03/2020 14:14

Disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Do you at least offer the juice to your DH to drink? Or do You just tip it away right in front of him?

gamerchick · 31/03/2020 14:15

Nah the liquid is the best bit.

Has it come to this OP? Watching each other eat pot noodles? Grin

playthestation · 31/03/2020 14:15

You are supposed to pour it on your chips. All of it.
