Aldi Snack Noodles Spicy Curry Vs Pot Noodle Original Curry | Food Review

Which is best for your money? Food Review.

[@izadoru]

I remember when these first appeared on the shelves early 1970's. Made by golden wonder and cost 7& half pence. My brother's and I spent some of our pocket money on them instead of our usual sherbet dibs & Tom thumbs etc. That was my first and last pot noodle. 🤪

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

thanks 😊

[@davidmacgregor5193]

The so called original "Pot Noodle" aren't even original, they are now manufactured by "Unilever" but they were originally made famous by "Golden Wonder" the potato crisp manufacturer.

[@Essydyk]

Golden Wonder still make a similar product to this - they are absolutely horrific though, lacking in flavour and completely bland.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers David 👍👍

So they were David I'd forgotten that

Unilever is a corporate shit-show and they really don't care about their customers. I was a production manager for a cosmetic company and Unilever is one of the biggest soap mfgs in the world. They branched out into many subsidiaries...one of them being Ben & Jerry's ice cream. As much as I loved "Cherry Garcia", I will never buy their products.

[@lasidora]

I've had hundreds of Pot Noodles in my time, & I've had the line up from Aldi, not really impressed with them to be perfectly honest, I ALWAYS end up coming back to the original Chicken & Mushroom proper one, my tried & tested way of making one of these is to add a teaspoon of curry powder, maybe a dash of Cayene Pepper, some salt & black pepper, then the soy sauce, fill with boiling water to a tiny bit over the line, give it a mega stir to get up all the bits from around the bottom, & then THE IMPORTANT BIT ---- pop it in the centre of the microwave for 30 seconds on full power, it really does soften the noodles up perfectly & all the juices get well soaked in, leave for at least 10 minutes & enjoy, trust me, you will NEVER eat one the old way again.

[@billy4072]

[@Nosdos]

Always finish mine in microwave.

[@dawnfinch8232]

Will definitely try that John thanks

[@joannegalway1226]

Definitely the original every time. My fave’s would be chicken and mushroom and curry. My partner’s is the curry, and my son likes the curry one as well. They may be nearly twice the price but definitely worth it. They were a favourite of mine back in the day… or Smash and meatballs in gravy in the tin 🤦‍♀️ Anyway, another brilliant review 😘 xxx

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thank you xx

[@wolfman011000]

I like the flavour and mouth feel of the original pot noodles, there more sturdy pots make them easier to hold and keep the contents hot longer. I keep the pots and reuse them with maggi noodles and the missus uses them as plant pots for herbs etc after i drill afew hole in the bottom. I always get the bog standard chicken and mushroom pot noodle and if i am at home i use PRB or LKK gold soy sauce rather than the supplied sachet as to me and the missus it has abit of a metalic after taste from the hydrolyzed soy sauce they use rather than brewed type.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

thanks pal 👍

[@iamphoenix6310]

You cook the maggie noodles in the pot or in the pan then add to the pot?

[@wolfman011000]

​@@iamphoenix6310 I cook the maggie noodles in the microwave and then add to the pot. Instuctions are to add 250ml of water i use 300ml as i like mine abit soupy.

@@wolfman011000 I only ever used to cook in microwave at work, usually use hob myself. Soupy ones are good, close to homemade ramen 🤣

[@Cat91Lover]

My favourite Pot Noodle of all time is the chilli beef one, which was sadly discontinued. The curry one is my go to flavour now whenever I fancy treating myself to a Pot Noodle. They also did a Christmas dinner one around 10 years ago.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Alice, thank you.

[@michaelcampin1464]

I preferred curry pot rice to pot noodles

[@pickledpixel]

I loved chilli beef too. All you need to do is add a little bit of chilli powder into the normal beef & tomato pot noodle and it tastes exactly the same as the chilli beef one did. :D

[@LAMBYTheBULLY]

Nothing compares to the original pot noodle chicken an mushroom flavour my favourite 👌🏽

The price difference is not so much when you stock up on Pot Noddles when on special at 50p, which they regularly are. I always add a dash of sriracha.

[@jennystark764]

The original I agree! Dare I say with a couple of dry slices of bread to dip in is my favourite.... Treat myself to one every fortnight & I do really enjoy them, mainly because of the noodles im such a fan of them. Thank you gareth for this video xx

[@donedwardchapman4514]

Hi Gareth. We do get a big selection of Pot Noodles here, but our boys big favourite is Carbonara, which is sold in an envelope pack, with two small liquid packs to add. Do in a wok, heat 400ml water with the noodles until they are soft. Drain some of the water out and put in a dish, add the flavouring and oil, about 5 cc of each, mix and enjoy !!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Sounds great! cheers Don thanks 😊

[@anjizetland-von-kiesel3346]

I tried the curry and chicken and mushroom Aldi pot noodles over the weekend and I quite liked them. When I made the curry one, I added the water and then got side tracked for a good ten minutes and when I came back to it the pot noodle was really thick. Maybe try leaving them a bit longer to thicken up and see if the flavour comes through more too as I found it quite tasty?

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thanks for sharing!

[@keithtaylor930]

Honest review, I don't have them often but when I do I put a few drops of "hot" sauce in the Aldi ones to give them more of a kick.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Yes Keith 😋😋👍

[@markriley5863]

I would love it Gareth if you started one of your uploads with "I've been shopping. I've been to Harrods and Fortnum & Mason ... only joking, I've been to Asda and Aldi again" 😄

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Haha I might try that one Mark lol

[@johnwhyte1488]

Another interesting and unbiased review Gareth. I rarely had them and when I did I didn't rate them, that however; was my fault as at the time I didn't stir all of the spices that were stuck at the bottom of the container, duh! I've since learned, and if I have one now, it's the Bombay Bad Boy (black container) which is quite spicey, the little sachet is chilli, apparently it's 10 MILLION Scoville units ? I think you might like it? All the best pal.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers John, wow its that hot. I must try one. Hope you are on the mend now. 👍👍

[@DominicLittlewood]

Love the vids mate, seem like a top genuine bloke. I'm always amazed at how many calories they manage to squeeze into a Pot Noodle for something that doesn't have that much substance, a load of dry veg and noodles with boiling water. God knows what they put in the powder

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Dominic 👍👍

[@iamphoenix6310]

The calories are from the noodles and palm oil, full of sat fat for such a little pot. Then full of salt too. Packet noodles are the same, but I throw the packet away and make my own mix, or if im doing a few packs ill add one satchet then some extra bits myself. Can get simple dry noodles with no added fats which are better but alot more bland so need to add the right amount of flavour yourself

I do need to comment on this. Years ago I loved a proper curry pot noodle but of course the fkrs have at least halved the amount of mango tango sauce. So I bought my own and OMG it was just like the old days.. Jesus Christ I need to get a life and a proper Pot noodle! Oh and the Sweet and sour PN needs a serious injection of sweet and sour nowadays too. I can’t believe I went off on this so I’m off to bed. Another great video! X

I bought a pot from ASDA a few months ago, but it wasn't by Pot Noodle, but ASDA's own brand. It was probably chicken and mushroom flavour. Anyway, it was horrible. I threw most of it in the bin and that's unusual for me, as I have eaten many pot noodles over the years and they are always tasty. However, since I discovered Japanese Nissin noodles some time ago, they are my favourite instant noodles now.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers 😋👍👍

[@Spudchucker92]

The chilli flavour Nissin soba noodles are to die for. So delicious. I just wish there was a bit more to them, a tad pricey in relation to the amount.

[@lochamb1234]

@@Spudchucker92 Hi Aaron, what store do you buy the noodles from? Thanks in advance

[@jameskrell4392]

I ate pot noodles in the late seventies and even bought whole trays from a whole sales warehouse and sold them on at work. There were quite a few imitators around by then, some better than others. Curry and the beef and tomato was my favourite then. Years went by and I had stopped eating them up to recently when I found that a pot noodle in winter made a break from a cold sandwich at lunch. Sweet and Sour is my favourite and I Always put a splash of lemon juice or vinegar in to make it more sour. I like Bombay Bad Boy and beef too but not the chicken. I don't dislike the sticky rib but its not enough flavour for me. Noodle on and keep the salad and rocket munchers at bay, lol.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers James. Great comment this. All the best, Gareth 😋👍

[@madfrankiefraser2234]

Favourite pot noodle is the jerk chicken. I went off them a bit as they taste different than when they had there old packaging. Also the chicken and sweetcorn and curry pot rice back in the day are my all time favourite (pot)

I would only buy potnoodles when they're on offer at 50p but Peri Peri is my favourite. If you get the Aldi Chicken and mushroom flavour, its alot better and more up to the potnoodle flavour. One tip is don't buy the Lidl equivalent, they are terrible and very gloopy.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Mike.

[@Val-from-Leigh]

Asda are 80p or two for £1. i.e. 50p each and therefore only 8p more. No contest!

[@paul67]

Have tried a few over the years and tend to go back to pot noodle, usually on offer somewhere, and if you only have them now n again worth dipping in for the original imo. Tip of the day...pop a bit of greaseproof paper or kitchen roll on your worktop before you start. Haha

[@dawnfinch8232]

Sometimes have one for lunch beef and tomatoes always add some cayenne pepper to it

[@tonymantle9734]

I know like you say there not good for you. But I do love a chicken and mushroom pot noodle. If you fill the water level, chuck a bag of broken up crisps in, soaks the sauce up and adds texture. Also great on chip shop chips.

'Pot Death' 😏. Haven't ever had one and am not really inclined to start now. That long list of 'ingredients' makes me nervous .. the more 'E-whatevers' and stuff ending in 'ates' and 'ites' therein, the more so. I do occasionally scoff down the packet 'Instant Noodles' (without the Flavour pack .. I add my own concoction) and then mostly as a 'filler' with something else. You're correct, the Aldi version, can be boosted with flavorings gleaned from most kitchen Spice Racks. A good Channel this, with valuable info therein .. thanks for taking the trouble. Take care ..

Gareth you really need to try Soba noodles Yakatori chicken flavour absolutely amazing , Asda are selling them for £1 each the other flavours are nice but the yakatori chicken one(blue lid) is on a different level 👍🏻

I'm not keen on them.

@@BaldFoodieGuy no way you’ve got to be joking mate everyone i know eats them by far the best noodles on the market probably because they’re Japanese 😜👍🏻

Yes it's the smell of them. That soya stink lol

When it comes to Pot Noodles, my go to flavours are chicken & mushroom, and beef & tomato. Always add a splash extra soy sauce or tomato ketchup. Plus I add just the tiniest bit of garlic powder for another layer of taste, but really not much otherwise it ruins the flavour. In terms of my favourite instant noodles as a whole, Nissin chilli Soba noodles are fantastic. They taste gorgeous but are a bit lacking in serving amount for the price. I only get them when they're on a deal. The yakitori chicken flavour Soba noodles are good too.

Ya can't beat Pot Noodle for a quick snack, especially Chicken & mushroom.... just don't add too much water.
