#597: Batchelors Super Noodles Sweet & Sour Flavour

Thought I’d do some more of this stuff today. I was expecting a package but there was a FedEx delivery exception and so I’ll have to wait til Monday most likely. So, here’s something weird – sweet and sour noodles? Yep. Let’s do this.

Here’s the back panels of the packet… If you’re wondering, no – there was no cash in the packet.

Thought I’d include a pic of the noodle block on this one. It seems a little more dense than many.

A single seasoning packet. Here’s the front and back.

Here’s the powder itself. Looks pretty harmless.

Here’s the finished product. Pretty good stuff – the noodles bulk up nicely and have an almost buttery taste. The seasoning lent a little bit of a sweet and sour flavor but it was very light. I definitely wanted more flavor. Not bad though – 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. Can’t seem to find this flavor online but I did find the bacon flavor, and if you eat it you’ll be burping up bacon flavor for days – check it out here.

Rad commercial

This is so awesome!!!

 

#557: Batchelor’s Super Noodles Southern Fried Chicken Flavour

No way, really? Way. Southern frfied chicken. It’s funny because it took the British to come up with a fried chicken flavor of instant noodles! I don’t have a clue why Nissin or Maruchan picks up on this kind of thing and markets it in the US – it’d be so popular here. Alas, I fear they travel the safe road and ‘crazy’ is cheese flavored noodles. I should note though that Maruchan has made a Yakisoba bowl here that is Taco flavored – wish I could get my hands on it!

Here’s the back of the package…

Only one packet. Here’s the front…

…and the tip on the back.

So it smells like chicken fried steak. It really does!

A couple fried eggs with a dash of pepper on top were added. Holy cow – this stuff is a trip – it does kind of taste like the seasoning they use in chicken fried steak – like the Marie Callender’s ones.  It makes sense that it would go well with eggs… The noodles and sauce and flavoring are interesting together – the noodles’ consistency is almost goopy when paired with the sauce that we end up with. It’s pretty good! 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. You can find it on Amazon here.

Awesome commercial.

Okay I dunno if this guy ever gets to cooking it – he’s a yammerer. But hopefully he shows ya how to make it.
