  • I thought I had hit a new culinary low today, but actually I have just pulled it out of the bag.

    Tired, and after a shit day, I decided I couldn't really be arsed cooking and reached for my Lidl own-brand Beef & Tomato Pot Noodle (39p, no MSG, vegetarian). I put in some chopped red onion before adding the water. Then I thought I needed something fresh (or at least healthy-ish and resembling vegetables) with it so I chopped up some beetroot, roasted red pepper (from a jar, from Lidl) and some tomato into it, and then added some cheddar.

    What a revelation.

    I'm aware that this doesn't rank in the top 95% of good food ideas suggested in this thread, but it was actually very good. And considering that the thread starts with the idea of eating lemon curd with chocolate digestives, it's still on topic.

  • Have you tried the Japanese/Chinese noodle bowls? Not as cheap but some how nicer noodles and you can get no MSG ones.

  • Recommend the big Korean noodle bowls. Nong Shim Big Shin Ramyun hot & spicy is a favourite.

    Get mine from Wing Yip but think Morrisons have them sometimes.

    Chuck in a couple or three slices of seedy wholemeal bread to soak up noodle juice and turn it into a proper snack.
