Okay so we know about Pot Noodles - what about Angel Delight?

[Sparkler1]

Just made one up for dds' pudding and it's going down a treat!
Well they get a good milk intake don't they?

What about super noodles?

Are they bad?

I don't think they're the best - sharwoods dried egg noodles are just as easy and with some chopped up veg in the microwave very healthy (ok boring myself a bit here!!!!)

As for dodgy ingredients - how often do you wipe your childs hands when you're out shopping??? I insist that my child eats worms and mud pies just i did!!!!!

Lol - the only thing bad about Super Noodles is the sachet thingy! if you leave that out they are ok - and if you don't what the heck - life is too short!

Besides they make great food when mixed with griddled veg etc, they are tasty

mine love it - especially Butterscotch

sorry Iota but so what

mine eat meat, fish, over fruit & veg a day, milk etc etc
I cook from scratch

a little pudding like that is OK as long as not every day combined with processed meals

I hate it though

I do think sometimes if you don't give them access to the treat side of things, they'll just go overboard when they've got access to it themselves.

Now, does anyone remember those mousse things that lived in the freezer and were supposed to be defrosted but tasted so awful you just ate them frozen like ice cream????? Or is it just me

when i was little we had to make an angel delight run to six people. when my mum and dad were out once i made up a packet and ate the lot in the garden.

I bet it tasted fantastic!!!!

Well my kids do eat processed food and sweets/ice-cream/chocolate etc, but I do try to avoid hydrogenated veg oil as it gets such a bad press.

There must be some reason that M&S have taken it out of their products, with Tesco following swiftly on behind

my dds like homemade rice pudding

doddle to make and nothing but rice, milk and sugar

I freeze it in little yogurt-sized pots so I can drag it out and microwave when needed

fab

(though I do like Angel Delight myself I do think it tastes a little, em, plasticy)

it was soo loverly!! but i did feel a bit sick!

M&S

try again

Oh no Iota, I believe you, but the FACT is that eating one bad ingrediant in one dessert that is eaten once in a while will not cause major damage to the average human being

Life is too short to worry too much about everything!

The way my lo runs around I'd be surprised if anythings allowed to actually get into his bloodstream before its burnt off!!!!!

Just so long as you're making an informed decision

I'm not criticizing anyone BTW , just responding to the thread title - people should know what they are eating

Message withdrawn

Damn it - why haven't I got angel delight in the cupboard right at this minute?????

Oh I know Iota, don't worry, I am fully informed, I just feel taht there are certain times when it is important to develope a blind eye to turn! The fact is that every parent does this, but each parent chooses different things to be blind to!

Too true - my kids have the occasional FruitShoot

for example - htere are many other 'sins'

bird's trifle that is yummmmm

Ohhhh birds trifle mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Countto10, sainsburys used to make this block of chocolate mousse that was lovely frozne or defrosted. You could get an individual block of it like a choc ice too. But the ones I think you are thinking of are choclate lovelies. mmmm

Absolutly Iota, I think it is just a case of getting together the relevent knowledge and then choosing your sins according to what fits best with your life. (ot to mention of course what best suits your taste buds )
