It reminds me of the classic http://www.grandforksherald.com/content/eatbeat-long-awaited-olive-garden-receives-warm-welcome-1

The bit added to the bottom of the review was a bit sad. I wonder how that 'feedback' was to read.

Editor’s note: There has been an extraordinary reaction to this review. I briefly took the author’s name off because I wanted to check that the student journalist who wrote it was comfortable with the situation. To her credit she is and we stand by her review. In hindsight I think I should have made it clear that the author was a student in the byline. That said the restaurant review is a personal piece and that was her opinion, and we stand by her all the way. I haven’t been able to reply to all the messages we’ve had, but thanks to everyone who got in touch. I for one am looking forward to going out for a pizza tonight!

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.

Roti Lady update: Thursday thru Saturday on Station Road... /nudge, wink/

Spoke to her yesterday... :)

I keep not being in Brixton at the right time. I might make a trip on Saturday just for a roti.

You know it makes sense...

She's stopped doing earlier in the week cuz she was having to throw all her delicious unsold rotis in the bin...

I know... CRIMINAL!!!

You lost me, briefly, at cheddar. Then I thought on it for a few seconds and was back on board again.

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.

I was in a Lidl-like supermarket the other day that had a special on some noodle bowls that looked somewhat serious, you know, the bowls made out of rather thick plastic, and a bit bigger than the usual kind.
Not getting up my hopes particularly high I went to read the list of ingredients, secretly wishing one of them might actually be vegan (I felt like I couldn't be arsed to cook that day either).
Soooo none of them were vegan, which was sort-of foreseeable, but also I remembered why I basically stopped eating this stuff even when I wasn't vegetarian / vegan -
(sorry if I ruin the party, but) those bowls are basically spices and food additives, flavouring the cheap crap bits of stuff and those fucking "noodles".
Actually you'll have a hard time finding even lower quality food that has even less nutritional value than this stuff.

my bro in law had designs on starting up a ramen noodle fried chicken cart until he got offered a $100 000 a year jerb on wall street. Ramen fried chicken is as delicious as it sounds.

/csbil

I am interested in this ramen noodle fried chicken cool story. Is it ramen soup with fried chicken in it? Is it chicken wrapped in ramen noodles and then fried? Is it just ramen with a side of fried chicken?

That last one is pretty common at ramen places and is conventional but rad. (Japanese and Korean styles of fried chicken are pretty good.)

$100,000 a year for wall street work isn't worth the money I don't think.

crushed up, dry ramen noodles covering delicious chunks of dead bird which are then deep fried.

FRIEDURAMENCHICKENERU!

Hmm, that looks like a thing. Now there is even more stuff to be angry about Berlin not having.

Also you misspelled furaidoramenchikin. Makudonarudo.

i'm pretty sure everyone's a racist.

Right who's making me some ramen crusted fried chicken then, fuck I'm hungry now.

i'm pretty sure everyone's a racist.

I can only speak for myself, but yes.

He was kidding...

Oh I wasn't. I have always been a super intense racialist.
