rockford	Oh dear. This box doesn't seem to be going down too well. At least they're not coming back up!

Jayenkai	Noodle Three Looks Like... Tastes Like.. Smells very fishy. Must be the mackerel...? Also, the sachet of "chili pepper infused oilâ€ smelt of wine...!! The noodles themselves seem to be identical to Pot Noodle noodles. Taste wise.. not too bad, if Iâ€™m honest. A nice salty taste, with quite a kick from that sauce. Rating : 4/5 - the smell is rather offputting, but it tastes ok. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Ummmmmm... nope. Mackeral? o_O

Jayenkai	Noodle Four Looks Like... Tastes Like.. The smell is very much like that of a bag of the red Chilli Heatwave Doritos. Flavour wise, it's quite like a standard Pot Noodle Beef&Tomato, but with a really nice spicy kick to it. Also, the noodles have done a great job of soaking up the water, so it's seriously thick! Nom nom nom.. Rating 5/5 - Nom Nom Nom!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	That sounds exactly like my cup of tea
Thu, 23 Aug 2018, 08:55
Jayenkai	.. you have noodles and tacos in your cup of tea..???! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Thu, 23 Aug 2018, 12:32
rockford	Yep!

Jayenkai	Noodle Five Oooh! Another "just curryâ€ noodle. Nom nom!! Looks Like... Very messy. Thereâ€™s leftover curry powder all around the rim! Tastes Like... It's not quite as nice as the "Morrisonâ€™s-alike" from last month. It's not quite as fruity as that one was, although it does still have a nice spicy kick to it. The curry powder still tastes quite powdery, leaving a slight gritty taste. Not the greatest. The noodles are only about half as wide as usual Pot Noodle noodles, and in fact about half of what the previous (also a QTTA one) was, too. Rating : 3/5 - I was looking forward to this one. Bit of a let down. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	I've been really ill this week - stomach bug has knocked me for six; I hadn't eaten anything for three days due to no appetite (still no appetite, but I'm forcing myself to eat light). I asked the wife to pick me up some noodle meals, they're usually harmless and easy to eat - I had a BBQ Super Noodle today for lunch. Never again. Ever. Never. I've never had them before, so didn't realise just how awful they are. They're like slimy string in dirty washing up water. Bleurgh!

Jayenkai	Aww. Poor Rockford. Get well soon. Yeah, Super Noodles are bloody disgusting. Youâ€™re right about the slimyness.. Iâ€™m not quite sure how they manage that, but.. eeeuughh!!! Always reminds me of that goo under the crust of a Fray Bentos pie. shudder Anything but Super Noodles. The cheap-ass ownbrand noodles are typically better, and go well if you have a few veggies to make a stir fry. Fry the veg for a bit, then chuck in the pack of noodles and enough water to cook them dryly. (Usually about half the stated "soup" amount) Maybe use your own spices, though, as the typical ownbrand chicken flavouring is .. .. not what Iâ€™d call chicken! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Cheers Jay. May try somethig a bit more adventurous when I'm not running back and fore to the loo!
Tue, 28 Aug 2018, 09:14
Jayenkai	Oooohhh!!! Not good! I tend to go more for crisps when I'm that bad. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Tue, 28 Aug 2018, 09:33
rockford	No appetite at all. And I eat crisps by the truckload. Haven't had a single one for a week.
Tue, 28 Aug 2018, 09:49
Jayenkai	Crikey!!! No crisps!?!
Thu, 30 Aug 2018, 05:31
Jayenkai	Noodle Six Looks Like... Tastes Like... Has the weirdest smell. Like a woody BBQ smell mixed with some kind of pickle, or something.. Such a bizarre smell.. The taste is similarly odd. Canâ€™t quite place the flavour. It is nice, but it's also .. odd!! Only a gentle spice, IMO. Not as much of a kick as the previous QTTA Curry. Rating : 2/5 - Iâ€™m still not sure if I enjoyed it!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Noodle Seven Looks Like... Rather soupy. The sachet of sauce was rather thick. Kinda like Ketchup, but really thick and lumpy!! Tastes Like... They werenâ€™t kidding about the Sour bit. Smells a lot like Chinese Sweetâ€™nâ€™Sour. Definitely one of the oddest tastes, so far. A vague fishy taste, weird vinager sourness, and quite a spicy kick, too. The noodles arenâ€™t too bad, but are the "donâ€™t soak up the tasteâ€ variety, which is a shame, because there's a lot of flavour in here!! Rating : 5/5 - really quite flavourful. I probably wouldnâ€™t have it very often, if I had the chance, but as a one off it's nice. I've attempted to find some of the better noodles on Amazon.. .. ... no fucking chance!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Sounds OK. Looks OK.

Jayenkai	Noodle Eight Last of the fourth box. Interesting instructions.. wtf is dried hot water? When you remove the outer wrapped, itâ€™s a bland empty box!! Looks Like Similarly bland! Tastes Like... It's got a little kick to it, but thereâ€™s not a lot of taste in here. The noodles were done in just the water, with the sachet being added afterwards, so theyâ€™ve obviously not taken up much of the flavour. Or maybe my water wasnâ€™t quite dry enough? Rating 1/5 - Quite a dull end to an otherwise mostly interesting box of noodles. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Thu, 06 Sep 2018, 07:10
rockford	The final result doesn't exactly look like that on the front of the box... And yeah, "dried hot water" is not that abundant in these here parts!
Fri, 14 Sep 2018, 08:20
Jayenkai	Not the best start to Box #5 That's a bit of an ominous looking hole, if I do say so myself. Thankfully, all the noodles have an exterior plastic-wrap, so the other 6 are undamaged, and (hopefully!) unaffected by whatever caused the damage to those two. .. Hmmm.. shrugs First noodle-review will be Tuesday, but we've obviously only got 6 to go through. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Fri, 14 Sep 2018, 09:33
rockford	Looks like it's been gnawed through!
Fri, 14 Sep 2018, 09:38
Jayenkai	Trying not to think about that...
Wed, 19 Sep 2018, 14:50
Jayenkai	ZenPop are apparently sending out a replacement box. NoodleReviews delayed until either the replacement gets here, or next month's does!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Wed, 19 Sep 2018, 15:32
rockford	Should think so too! Shame about the delay though. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. There's no noodles!

Pakz	I ate a gypsy snitzel yesterday Interesting to see how many of those ramen kinds they have.
Wed, 17 Oct 2018, 05:41
rockford	Noodles not arrived yet then Jay?
