Since Helen is offline indefinitely, I need something explained she
sent me.
Just what are these - are they the same as CupNoodle or Ramen?
What is the difference between them?
a Batchelor's cuppa soup with croutons
a Golden Wonder Pot Noodle

as a Canadian, I can tell you most definitely ............ I have no bloody
idea. It does beg the question though, why ask?
Cheers,
Scot.

Pot Noodle is an instant noodles in a cup thing. they stopped being
'Golden Wonder' a couple of years back.

Cup a soup is instant soup in a sachet. (the ****sy cubes of dried
bread - aka croutons - are only found in the luxury versions.

Both of them are just-add-boiling-water 'foods'.

(Mind you, I've eaten loads of them when working in portakabins miles
from the nearest cafe or cooking facilities)

Anyway, I finally found out. One is what Canadians call "soup" and we
down here call "broth" - the other has "stuff" in it, so would be
properly called soup and requires a spoon.

"Cup of Soup" is a trade name for a styrofoam cup of dried noodles,
dried flavorings and dried bits of meat/fish and veggies.
There are in the US two forms a ramen noodles. Both exactly alike.
Both have exactly the same ingredients in a sealed plastic package.
Bother require boiling 2 cups of water and adding the broken up
noodles and the smaller sealed packet of dried broth. Stir for 2 or 3
minutes and eat. My preference is to put a lid on the noodle broth
soaking in boiled water and let it steep until the noodles take up all
the water. Then I eat that with a fork - much as I might spaghetti.
Meant for two people, can be filling but doesn't last long as being
full. LOL

Pot Noodle isn't US style soup (unless you like your soup solid) - it
is instant Chinese noodles in a pot. Do you not have instant Chinese
noodles over there? The flavours are very British though - curry,
bacon, beef and onion etc And you eat it with a fork, winding it
round the fork like you'd eat spaghetti.

Geez - you mean you actually *eat* that stuff?
I found it distasteful just reading the ingredients list - took longer to
read than it does to make the muck.
Have you no self-respect at all?

Duke - Can you please accept the fact that I'm talking about *Chinese*
noodles, not Japanese noodles? Enough of this "called by their proper
name" - we are talking about the cuisine of 2 different countries and
I've never seen Chinese noodles called Ramen in Chinese restaurants.

I've eaten both types and they are not the same thing. Over here, we
can get packs of dried Chinese noodles and they are regularly served
in Chinese restaurants and take-aways. We can get Japanese noodles in
the UK, but most Brits prefer Chinese noodles and Pot Noodle is based
on these.

That I do have self - respect! It's nae muck!
