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

Pot Noodle makes my nose run when I'm eating it. I just stir it in and it tastes no different.

You should be eating it the proper way. With a slice of buttered bread you can use to soak up the goodness at the bottom.

@Troys I read that as you stir your snot into the pot middle and it tastes no different Grin

Middle = noddle (bloody phone)

I never get much liquid left - it sticks to the noodles and I don’t make it runny. Just add the right amount of water! Haven’t had a pot noodle in years...

BeFire · 31/03/2020 16:35

Drink the noodle juice obviously. I hope you're at least offering him your juice Grin .
Although if you're dipping a cold jumbo sausage roll in it there's not much juice left. I'm hungry now!

It is disgusting and I am ashamed of myself, but I do love a chicken and mushroom pot noodle - completely vegetarian as they are made entirely of additives. I agree with your DH, OP, I drink the juice when I've eaten the noodles.

MadameBee · 31/03/2020 16:38

I have never eaten a pot noodle Blush

Lightuptheroom · 31/03/2020 16:41

Can't stand pot noodle... However chicken supernoodles on toast with ham on top and cheese then melt the cheese under the grill is an absolute must

nellythenarwhal · 31/03/2020 16:44

I drink the soup as I thought it was like ramen

OlaEliza · 31/03/2020 16:59

My dh wins the rank noodle contest, he puts an egg in supernoodles ffs.

Bombay Bad Boy (king size, obviously) made with extra water so I can drink the soup then eat the damp noodles. Perfect hangover cure.

daffodil1224 · 31/03/2020 17:03

Pot noodles are like the remains you find in the sink after washing up so you are both unreasonable.

hollybollyy · 31/03/2020 17:11

Use less water no puddle. I used to love chicken super noodles! They actually stained one of my pans in uni.. Blush

redwinefine · 31/03/2020 17:13

YABU - pot noodles are awful.

RC1511 · 31/03/2020 17:14

Well I always drink the water. My partner looks at me in disgust about it but he will use bread to soak it up. 🙈

averythinline · 31/03/2020 17:26

Not too much water large quantity chilli sauce...
Visions of common room at school when we had one kettle and massive q of pot noodles to fill ... wet or dry to taste ...

SnipSnapPop · 31/03/2020 17:54

You are both uncouth ....the trick is to make them with just enough water so there is no excess sauce at the end 🤷🏼‍♀️ If you fail to do so then your husband is correct, you cannot leave the sauce at the end. You, my dear, are a savage 😜

Whatcanido121 · 31/03/2020 17:56

You are all wrong.
Fill to the line and dip a sausage roll in. Walls preferably.
Eat the noodles then soak up with the rest of the sausage roll Wink

vodkaredbullgirl · 31/03/2020 17:59

Ah the pot noodle, used to eat them as a student many moons ago. My daughter eats them and they smell lovely, but i would never touch one again lol. I used to eat it all and drink the juice at the bottom.

MadameJosephine · 31/03/2020 18:00

Easy solved, my ex used to leave what he called ‘the slop’ at the bottom but I think it’s the best bit so I used to drink his too Grin

dottiedodah · 31/03/2020 18:07

I like to drain off the liquid first ,then transfer into a bowl and eat like Im in Wagamamas! Can close my eyes ATM and hope when this is all over we will be there eating again!

SillyCow6 · 31/03/2020 18:08

Ohhh super noodles, chicken flavour with a knob of butter stirred in are gorgeous, esp with bread and (more) butter. I am going to finish this lock down fat and malnourished

TrudysTerribleFringe · 31/03/2020 18:10

The last bit of for Dipping thick white buttered bread in.
