I love cooking and eating nice food and cook about 5 nights out of 7 at home, but would never dream of eating a Pot Noodle at home. They are however absolutely delicious on the boat- the Bombay Bad Boys are rather good. Reminds me of a previous thread about food that only tastes good on the boat- if we're not careful, we'll be back on that taboo subject which hasn't been mentioned for a while-

Re: Pot Noodles - a cautionary tale
On a cruise a few years ago....
One evening in the duty mess a visiting Japanese scientist was puzzling over a British pot noodle's instructions. The first mate told him:
"Fill it up to the mark with water, put it in the microwave for 35 seconds then throw it in the bin."
"Don't you eat it?" he asked,
"No, trust me its the best way."
He did this, but made the mistake of taking a forkfull of noodles and putting them in his mouth. He spat them out, said something in Japanese and threw the whole lot in the bin.
He then smiled and thanked the mate for his wisdom, and went on to discover the delights of toast and marmite.

Any volunteers?

Excellent when out on your own, however don't do as I did and stand it on the table while waiting the 2 minutes for it to do whatever it does before stirring. Mines ended up on the the deep pile cream carpet when I was hit by a sudden gust. It was my last one, the carpet had to go and the pot noodle tasted awful with bits of fluff in it.

[/ QUOTE ]Would never eat them at home for sure but on board............... helps keep the sides of your stomach from sticking together.
I for one cannot stomach pot noodles - they make me barf - give me scotch pies and beans or mushy pease washed down with a couple of pints of Guinness or so and I'm alright. - even better after a gallon of the black stuff but don't stay below decks with me and definitely no smoking or naked flames.

This is heracy!
Pot Noodles are essential on board Chicken and Mushroom is the best IMO always something to eat no matter what the conditions.
Now Fray Bentos Pies, these are indeed unique, on shore they take the gold medal in minging - on board it is the food of the gods !! Pasta 'n' Sauce bake is another strangely satisfying food.
One thing I wouldn't eat though onboard or onshore are those Heinz full english breakfasts in a can <hurrruurrrrppp>

Ian. Some years ago, I took my Canadian godson for his first sail. Towards midday I gave him a Pot Noodle. He described it as looking and tasting like 'Barf'!. I believe this is a North American simile for what we might call 'upchuck/tartan yawn. Somehow I agreed with him and have never carried any on board since!.

Having gone back to University at the advanced age of 47 I was pleasently suprised to recieve a Fresher's Pack in the first week.
In the bag (as well as a term's supply of Guardian vouchers) was a pot noodle and a condom.
Worried about my health I used the condom to place over the pot noodle.
