[Review] Pot Noodle Lost The Pot Noodles

Update Aug 2021:

Pot Noodles have added two low salt noodles to the lost the pot range.

Sadly, I wasn't picked for the trial earlier in March 2021 to trial them, hence I had to buy then as soon as they were out.

The two new flavors are vegetable which is vegan and cheese and tomato.

Finally spotted them recently at Sainsburys for 50p so got them both.

I ended up trying the Vegetable (peas and quiet) first.

The flavouring sachet was quite green with a strong smell of broccoli that it reminded me of those sachets of broccoli cuppa soups and visually you could see quite a fair bit of dehydrated broccoli bits in it.

To be honest, I found it really tasty because they appropriately used strong vegetables like broccoli, kale and peas to give it flavour without the salt.

The next day I tried the Tomato and Cheese, the flavouring sachet had a strong cheesy smell.

Overall, it was nice but the vegetable fared better.

The cheese and tomato flavour was mild so it could have done better if the flavours were stronger.

To summarize, I prefer the vegetable flavour.

AUG2020:

Earlier this year Pot Noodles have launched the new LOST THE POT NOODLES which are currently available at ASDA.

Even though I bought them for a few weeks, it took me a while to try them because they required more effort than before in the sense that it is not just adding water.

Although I do try other brands of instant noodles that require cooking, these are different psychologically as they started off as convenience noodle that just required boiling hot water.

To summarize, you will like these noodles if you like Batchelors super noodles.
The only difference is that the strands are flat and not as wide and thick as the pot noodle version and the noodles are a bit dry and sticky.

They come in three flavours: roast chicken, sweet chili and curry.
As a noodle fan, I tried all three.

The roast chicken was my favourite because they smelled like a packet of roast chicken crisps and tasted like chicken.

The curry was just like a salty curry lacking spices and that umami flavour because it doesn't contain any msg.

The sweet chilli was my least favourite as it was just sticky and sweet.
