                                 A Lot To Live Up To

Golden Wonder noodles, the name just conjures up the early days of the Pot Noodle when instant noodles first hit our shores back in 1978. Earlier this week I reviewed the Beef & Tomato Pot Noodle and it scored a very respectable 7/10, these have a lot to live up to.

They're not off to a good start with their non-recyclable packing...

“How do they taste?” The answer is not very nice, it's a mixed up jumble of flavours that has the net effect of "wrong". I can't even really describe it... sorry, the only thing I can think of is that they've gone way overboard on the yeast extract.

“Do they remind me in any way of a beef & tomato dish? The answer is not at all. This time I can't even taste the tomato, honestly it's just a mess in my opinion.

“How do I feel now I’ve finished it?” The answer is worried, food shouldn't taste this nondescript.

Conclusion – Never again, such a let down after their great Chip Shop Curry offering.
